Yoga Bag
From LoveToKnow Yoga
For yogis on the go, yoga bags are a wonderful convenience. Some are designed just to carry your yoga mat, while others are more of a backpack. We’ve compiled a great list of yoga bag resources from which to choose.
Find Yoga Bags Online
Agoy USA
Agoy USA, with its clever anagram name, is a division of a popular London-based yoga supply company. Famous for their eco-product stance, Agoy also features a very stylish, urban selection of yoga bags. Their despatch bag is a satchel with yoga mat bag straps that can easily go from the office to the [[Yoga Studios| yoga studio]. Compact cylindrical bags made from nylon, denim, and corduroy are a big because of both style and selection. The metropolitan bag is a sleek, modern version of the yoga mat bag. Expect to pay $45 and up.
Barefoot Yoga
At Barefoot Yoga, yoga bags are available in a diverse selection of fabrics, including hemp, velvet, and canvas. Patterns, colors, and styles vary widely. Most bags are roomy enough to carry both a yoga mat and a practice rug, and feature a couple of zippered pockets for incidentals. Prices start at $14 for a carryall yoga bag to $54 for a zippered canvas duffle.
Forgotten Children
When you can find the product you’re looking for and help someone in need, it’s a great feeling. Forgotten Children is an organization that helps women in poverty areas by providing them with gainful employment. These women make all-cotton, natural-dye yoga mat bags in a variety of colors and styles. The fair-trade cost of $22 includes a donation to the organization.
Saka
Yoga instructors designed the yoga mat bags found through Saka Yoga. Thus, these selections are just a little different. For example, the cargo bag has a hinged entry, while the unfur bag shows your support of animal rights. In fact, Saka will donate to an animal rights program of your choice for every unfur bag purchase. Saka yoga bags range from $38 to $88.
Santosha
If you’d like to do some quick comparison shopping, the Santosha website is for you. Many different types of yoga bags from various manufacturers are featured to make your selection process easy.
Retail Resources
Many familiar stores have a wide selection of yoga equipment to extend your practice. In addition to yoga bags, you’ll find mats, blocks, straps, bolsters and other props. Big box retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart, Sport Mart, Scheels, Sports Authority, Borders, and Barnes and Noble are just a few places with yoga gear available in most communities.
Make Your Own Yoga Mat Bag
Crafty yogis may want to personalize a yoga bag by creating one. There are many patterns available for backpack-style yoga bags, those who love to knit, or just a quick and simple drawstring yoga mat bag that takes little time to make.

-- Contributed by: TK2One bag that you have missed is the Yogoco Yoga bag. I can't post a link but you can google Yogoco Yoga bag. It is eco-friendly and made here in the USA. I think it is the only Yoga bag that will take the larger mats, and still looks great. Check it out.
