Yoga Mat Straps & Slings

One strap, two jobs. Loop the hemp sling around a rolled mat to carry it over your shoulder, then take it off and use the full length for hamstring stretches, shoulder openers and bound poses. Hemp webbing, made in Chicago. If you want the mat enclosed with pockets for your things, you want a mat bag instead.

Sling or bag

A sling weighs almost nothing, costs less, and comes off the mat in a second. It doesn't keep rain off and it doesn't hold keys. For a short walk to class it's all most people need; for a commute, get the bag.

For a short walk to class it's all most people need; for a commute, get the bag. It handles anything in our yoga mats collection, from a thin travel mat to a thick one, since both loops cinch down or open up.

Using it as a yoga strap

Long enough to loop around a foot for a supine hamstring stretch, hold behind the back for a shoulder opener, or bridge the gap between hands in a bind you can't yet close.

A yoga blocks set of 2 handles the poses a strap can't — raising the floor in a seated forward fold, propping a hip in a lunge. Hemp webbing doesn't stretch, which is what you want in a strap: the length you set is the length you get. In restorative work the same strap pairs with Bolsters & Cushions to hold a supported shape for several minutes without gripping.

Why hemp

Stronger than cotton webbing, doesn't sour with sweat, and softens with use without going slack.

The webbing dries fast, but the mat inside it won't, so wipe the surface down with a yoga mat spray before you roll and strap it.

Frequently asked questions

How does a yoga mat sling work?

Two adjustable loops go around the rolled mat, one at each end, and the strap between them goes over your shoulder.

Can I use it as a stretching strap?

Yes. Unloop it from the mat and use the full length. That's why it's webbing rather than rope.

Will it fit a thick mat?

The loops adjust, so yes.
