How to Choose a Yoga Mat Bag

Have you ever gotten to the gym or yoga studio only to find that you don’t have everything you need for your workout? That is not only frustrating, but it can be de-motivating as well. The problem could be poor planning or a poor bag, but it’s most likely a combination of both. Don’t let the wrong yoga bag ruin your workout. Here are some tips to help you choose a yoga mat bag that will inspire you. Transitional Style When you are looking for a yoga mat bag that will last you as long as you want it to, you will first need to give some thought to all the things that you need to carry with you, not just for your yoga workout but for the rest of the day as well. If you are going to yoga before or after work, you will want space to carry lunch, water, extra clothes and shoes and maybe a towel. Wouldn’t it be great to have a bag that not only holds all of these things, but keeps them separate, and easily accessible? Yoga Mat BagThe ideal yoga mat bag for this would have a lot of zippered compartments inside and outside. No matter what time of the day you go, you want a bag that you can find things quickly without rummaging through, spilling your things out onto the floor, or your car. Your keys, your phone and your wallet will all need to be exactly where you can find them at a moment’s notice. That’s when its great to have something with exterior compartments, so if you need things throughout the day, then the bag will have space for them, and you won’t need to open the bag to get at them. Some places you might go for yoga may supply the mats and the towels but there are many places that do not. Your yoga mat bag will need a convenient place to carry the mat, and perhaps a towel or warm-up jacket. The best yoga mat bag has good straps to secure the mat to the outside of the bag, but as you won’t always need to carry the mat, choose one that has a way for the straps to store away easily. Organized When you do open the yoga mat bag everything inside should also be easy to find and compartmentalize neatly. The bag should hold everything you need so that it is all easy to find, and you don’t have to rummage through the bag making a mess to find things. Not only should there be a place for everything, but the manufacturers of a really great bag know that it’s very difficult to find anything in a bag with black or other dark interior fabric. Of course, you want a yoga mat bag that looks great in addition to functioning well. It needs to hold everything you need, but fit everywhere it needs to fit, and be easy to carry as well. Compact, lightweight, easy to clean and stylish is not too much to ask in a great bag. The Accel from LiveWell 360 is an amazing yoga mat bag that has it all in a bag that you can take anywhere.
