Going to the yoga studio and keeping the body healthy is extremely important, but to add to that experience why not have a comfortable way of carrying all the supplies that go with it. Having to carry a mat on top of all the clothes, shoes, water bottles, i-pods, and music along with the chance of something getting stolen or lost can sometimes feel like too much. But here are a few varieties of yoga totes to make the journey a bit smoother.

Trying to find ways to keep the clothes looking ironed while also having to carry them to and from work can sometimes be a hassle. Thankfully though there is a bag that keeps the clothes straight and also provides room for the yoga mat. It is in the shape of a garment bag that has straps at the top and bottom. When folded there is space that the mat can sit without crinkling the clothes. There are also zippers for phones, change, and other random goodies.

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.

There is also the sporty trendy look that is out there. One of the more popular bags is the tote, which is made of nylon and is waterproof. The overall look of it is like a large purse that allows the mat to rest on top of it, but also has side zippers available. The price for these can be anywhere from $70-$100 depending on the size and style

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.

In order stand out from the rest of the yogis, another option is to get a bag that has embroidery on it. This will cost more, but there is no chance of losing it in the crowd of all the other bags. It might also be a great conversation starter.

The final option is for the more environmentally conscientious. These totes are made out of plastic bottles that are recycled and water resistant. They have two should straps making it a great way to carry the mat while riding on a bike in town.

These are just a few different options of Yoga Totes out there. By figuring out what is needed for the studio, how one is getting there, what the budget is, and how important style and comfort are, the options can be limited down quite a bit.
