Yoga mat straps are a great yoga accessory if you don’t have a great distance to go to your yoga sessions or if you don’t want to incur the added cost of yoga mat bags.

Without yoga mat straps or a yoga mat bag, carrying a full size yoga mat around can be very difficult and cumbersome, but with minimal expense the problem can be easily solved. Basically these yoga mat straps consist of a shoulder harness and two buckled or velcro loops that wrap around a rolled up yoga mat.

In the past, these yoga mat straps were more suited to the thinner yoga mats, but these days yoga mat straps are available in a variety of different sizes, colours and styles to suit any desire or budget – and can even handle thick yoga mats.

Even if you don’t need to transport your thick yoga mat around, yoga mat straps can be a very useful accessory for minimizing the size and space your thick yoga mat takes up when you are storing it in your cupboard or closet.

YogaAccessories™ has a clever, lightweight yoga mat strap that fits both the Classic 1/8” thick yoga mats and the Extra Thick Deluxe 1/4” yoga mats, plus many others. It can also be used to carry a yoga mat rug or blanket. The harness has two quick release buckles, each on an adjustable loop that wraps around your yoga mat. The shoulder harness strap is solid, durable, and reinforced for long life and comfort and each sling is beautifully patterned on a solid black.
