Yoga Mat???

[ElaineB55]

We are hitting WDW and Universal for 8 days in June. I am not going to survive without morning stretches. My current yoga mat is furry! I would like to take one on the trip that folds easily and can bring on the plane. Any ideas?

@ElaineB55 ~ the W.I.S.H forum has the most info regarding yoga mats. Will move your thread there:

I would love to know about this too! I did purchase a stretch strap on amazon that is small and I try to remember to pack it!

For travel, I like the Manduka Eko Superlite. It does not offer any real cushioning, but it is a portable, packable barrier between you and the floor. I have heard good things about the YOGO mat, as well. I have not used that one myself. Both mats are very lightweight (at least for yoga mats).

Thank you! the Manduka has one available online at a good price with Nordstrom Rack.

Do give the mat a little bit of time to "air out" before you pack it in with all of your other "stuff". The natural rubber does have a bit of an odor at first. I haven't had a problem with it lingering, but it is something to plan for when it is "brand new".

Haha - we have been airing out our new luggage since we bought it in March. If it is not raining, it is out on the deck. Yes, made in China.
