Best Yoga Mat Bags to Carry All of Your Workout Gear

Schlepping your yoga mat to class isn’t ideal because we all know they tend to be clunky and can get heavy, especially if you’re also packing accessories like a yoga towel. Plus, most gym bags don’t have enough room to squeeze in a mat or strap to tie it onto the sides. Enter: yoga mat bags.

These are specifically designed to carry all of your workout essentials, including blocks, straps, and other gear to Om your heart out. Some even have room to store an extra set of clothes and toiletries to freshen up post-workout. From slings to duffle bags to backpacks, here are some of the best yoga mat bags out there.

Best for yoga mats that are up to 26 inches wide, this yoga duffle can hold two blocks, a strap, and a towel. It also has a large pocket on the outside for your keys, wallet, and phone. Plus, it comes in three beautiful patterns and is made with man-made leather, which means it’s vegan-friendly, too. 

This 100% canvas yoga mat bag comes in 32 different eye-catching designs and colors. At 26 inches long, it can fit the longest rolled up mats. It also features a full-zipper closure for easy storage and has two pockets for keeping your keys, smartphone, wallet, and other valuables safe.

For an easy yoga mat carrier that you can just strap on and go, this commuter-style sling allows you to buckle your yoga mat securely. While it doesn’t have room for anything else, it’s perfect for a yoga minimalist who needs something quick and easy. 

This versatile yoga mat duffle doubles as a gym bag, thanks to its roomy interior. It’s long and wide enough for your mat and a couple of post-workout essentials, including a towel, change of clothes, wipes, and mat cleaner. It also has a front pocket for easy access to your keys, wallet, phone, and even a book for your commute.
