We’ve all seen it. Heck, many, many, many moons ago, I was victim to it. Yes, I’m talking about that transitional part of the day when one goes from the office to the yoga studio (or gym or boxing ring or karate dojo or whatever else you might be into) and inadvertently becomes a ‘bag lady’ (or ‘bag man’).

(An exaggeration, maybe? Or maybe not?)
We’re so busy rushing around trying to leave the office to get our sweat on (not that I ever left the office earlier than I should have or that any of you ever do that…*cough, cough*), that the end result is often us running out of the office with our workout clothes shoved into a shopping bag or any other bag we can find, our purse or carry-all bag slung over our shoulder filled to the gills with stuff like our leftover lunch, water bottle, wallet, cellphone, keys, other personal items, etc., and then our poor little yoga mat is left to fend for itself as it’s tucked under our arm.
Sound familiar?
No need to feel embarrassed, ashamed or foolish. Like I said previously, I’ve been there, too. I’m here to tell you that I’ve recovered and want to help you…
The Plank Messenger Yoga Mat Bag is perfect for those of us on the go and who want to make that transition from going to the office to the studio as seamless as possible. You can store your laptop, work stuff, clothes and other ‘non-workout’ gear in the bag while suspending your trusty mat in the metallic mat clasps. This bag is made of heavy duty cotton canvas with leather trim and will keep you looking stylish while you’re in the office and on your way to practice.
This color is absolutely gorgeous! It’s also available in Sage. There are all sorts of inside pockets, too, for everything and anything you might need – at the office, in the studio or anywhere else in between.
And for those of us who like to take everything with us (ahem, ME), let me introduce to you the Plank Tote Yoga Mat Bag. There’s so much room in this beautiful bag that I dare to find someone that can’t manage to fit all their belongings in there (ahem, ME). As with all of Plank’s yoga mat bags, this one is also made of heavy duty cotton canvas with leather trim and has metallic claps to hold your mat. But with all the room in the tote, feel free to carry your mat in there, too. You can save the clasps for hanging your jacket, towel, or anything else that strikes your fancy.
The color of this bag reminds me of the sky on a lovely spring day. It’s also available in Chocolate and Red. IMHO, you can’t go wrong with any color in this bag. And the design? Insane.
And there you have it! Problem solved. No worries, you can thank me later. I accept gratuities in the form of baked goods, shiny jewelry and fabulous boots (because really, you can’t have enough of any of these things).
Do you get ready at the office before going to the studio or gym? Or do you prefer getting changed once you arrive?
Namasté,
Nicole
