Making Your Own Yoga Mat Strap
 |
A yoga mat strap is great to have attached if you go to yoga classes and transport your yoga mat from place to place. While it is convenient to just purchase a mat that comes with a strap or even to buy one after you have gotten the mat. But making your own can be fun.
If you can make it yourself, you should. Though ones that you purchase are fine and can be of high quality, there is a certain something that comes with creating things on your own that paying money doesn’t give. Knitters especially know how this can feel, as they will work on a piece of clothing for a good amount of time and once it’s all done they can look back with a sense of achievement. Even if you don’t like the sweater once it’s finally done, you feel a sense of accomplishment from having made something with your own two hands.
Making your own yoga mat strap is very easy and does not take much time. You could sew or knit one fairly easily, which puts the only real difficulty in deciding which materials to use and whether or not you are going to use designs. Naturally you want to have one that matches the yoga mat itself, but do you want it to exactly match or do you want it to contrast? And if you make it out of fabric will you pick a design or a plain color? These may seem like small decisions, but it is a good idea to know before getting started.
If you do not want to have to make your yoga mat strap on your own there are some specialty retailers that sell them separately from yoga mats themselves. This is convenient if your current mat does not have an attached strap. Before buying any one strap, consider testing out different purse straps to get an idea of what size will be most comfortable for you to carry around, which you need to know if your mat is very heavy. Usually these can be found at any fitness store, but also at yoga centers.
If you have not purchased a yoga mat yet, find one with a strap already attached so you do not need to purchase one later on. In many cases, it is more expensive to buy the strap on its own as opposed to buying it with the mat. Carrying your large yoga mat to and from class all of the time is going to get tiring after a while if you do not have a strap, and may even deter you from going. You may not have realized just how important the yoga mat strap is before since those who do not practice yoga regularly usually do not even know they exist. It may only be a small detail, but it is a matter of convenience versus inconvenience.
