Keep Fit All Year Long With Our January Must Haves

I've always shied away from using a bag made specifically for my yoga mat. Most were too bulky, and the ones that weren't didn't seem to carry everything I needed. This changed when I found the Gaiam Damask Yoga Mat Bag ($20). The bag easily carries my thick Manduka mat and mat towel, and I use the exterior pocket to stash my keys, wallet, and phone. I especially love that the shoulder strap means my hands are free when I'm walking to and from class.
