Purple Yoga Bags & Mat Holders

For quick studio trips, slings or basic straps and lightweight polyester options like the Elenture Carry Bag are easiest to toss over a shoulder and fit rolled mats up to 6mm thick. For longer travel, pick a water-repellent weekender duffel or backpack with multiple pockets and shoe storage, such as the Lululemon Wunderlust Weekender, to keep gear organized and dry.

Many slings and straps accommodate a standard 6mm mat while some carriers are built to accept thicker 8mm mats. Check for adjustable straps in the 50–70 inch range or totes 24–30 inches wide to comfortably hold a standard 24x72-inch mat.
