Finding Yoga Totes For Yogis

By Janelle Burnett


There is so much stuff that needs to be taken to yoga class, so one may wonder how to get the water bottle, clothes, towel, and the mat all into one bag while not looking completely disheveled. Here are a few different types of bags that are available ranging from trendy to simple yoga totes. Take a look and figure out what sounds like a good fit.

Going straight from the studio to work can be a hassle when clothes get all crunched or rolled together and after a great work out these need to look presentable. There is a very innovative bag that essentially is a garment bag that has straps that allow the yoga mat to be cradled under the arm while keeping the clothes nice and neat. Pockets are also on the outside of the bag, which is convenient for all those small things that tend to get lost.

Looking good while carrying the mat is not as difficult as it sounds. Yogis that like to stay trendy while walking to and from the studio may want to take a look at this bag. It can take the form of a tote or messenger bag allowing for flexibility depending on the style they are feeling. There are many different pockets throughout the bag as well.

The sporty people have the option of getting another type of tote. This is made of nylon and is waterproof, which can be handy when going to hot yoga or the sweaty gym. It looks like a large purse but allows the mat to sit on top of it. Depending on what size and shape sounds good, these can range in price from $70-$100.

Then there are people that just need the very basics. There are the general straps that either have Velcro on each end, or have adjustable straps that fit tightly around the mat keeping it secure. This has a single strap that can be either thrown over a single shoulder or across the body. Choosing a nylon zippered bag is another great option that keeps the cost low but give a bit more protection from the weather. This is the cheapest and most lightweight option available, other than just carrying it with no straps.

There are also bags that have hand embroidery, which is a great way to stay unique and have a bit more personality to them. This is also an easy way to find the bag and catch anyone that tries to snag it due to their envy.

Then there are bags that are environmentally friendly. One in particular is made out of water resistant recycled plastic bottles. This is actually in the shape of a regular backpack with two straps that can go over the shoulders, making it a great bag for cyclists or those that need a bit more security on the way to the studio.

Finding these different styles and shapes of bags is easy enough to do just by searching online or going to stores for discounts. There are many different options out there, so talk to others in the class, see what the pros and cons are of their bags, and go from there. Also make sure that the Yoga Totes are the right size for the mat. They vary a lot, so double check.
