As calming and meditative as yoga is supposed to be, sometimes the thought of lugging your oversize yoga mat along with you on the subway, or even just down the block, isn't exactly motivating. The truth is, yoga mats aren't the most convenient things to transport. They don't fit into a regular gym bag, and they tend to unravel if they're not rolled and strapped tightly enough. Fortunately, however, there are plenty of yoga-mat bags for seasoned and beginner yogis alike. Perhaps you need one that can be carried like a backpack, prefer one that fits an entire pair of shoes in addition to a mat, or could use one with a ton of pockets. Whatever the case may be, you definitely won't be complaining about inconvenience with any one of these yoga-mat bags.
1 ThePureBag Nature Core Yoga Bag
Let's be honest — the floor of the yoga studio isn't always the cleanest. But ThePureBag's antimicrobial Nature Core Yoga Bag ($98) will serve you well, especially if you're bringing your yoga bag to and from your home and the gym. It's made with healthcare-grade fabric that keeps your belongings germ free, and it's reversible too.
2 See Feel Yoga-Mat Bag
If you're used to bringing a canvas bag to the yoga studio, it's time to give yourself an upgrade. This See Feel Yoga-Mat Bag ($35) looks and functions just like a regular canvas bag, but has a built-in sleeve made specifically for a yoga mat.
3 Yoga Direct Zippered Mat Bag
There's nothing worse than realising you left your mat in your bag for an entire week without unzipping it. It's important to air out yoga mats, especially after those extra-hot Bikram yoga sessions, and this Yoga Direct Zippered Mat Bag ($15) is one step ahead. Thanks to the breathable mesh fabric, this bag ensures your mat will always get aired out even if you forget to remove it.
