The present invention relates to a yoga mat carrier used to store and transport yoga mats.
Many individuals exercise and enjoy yoga as a physical practice to increase flexibility and further to reduce stress and/or anxiety. Yoga practice is usually performed in a studio or also can be performed at an individual's home. Yoga includes a series of stretching poses that are achieved through a sequence of movements associated with the practice of yoga. The user usually uses a mat to engage in yoga. Most yoga is performed barefooted therefore proper cushioning is needed for an individuals' hands and feet while engaging in yoga. Further some practices of yoga specifically require a mat due to the level of intensity that may be associated with yoga practices. As a result users that engage in yoga must transport their own yoga mat many times for their yoga class. The yoga mat normally can weigh 2 to 7 pounds and some yoga mats may come with bags or containers to house and store the bag for transport. As a result, it would be advantageous to have a rolling carrier so that the user can easily transport the yoga mat to their particular yoga class.
The present invention relates a yoga mat carrier that includes: a cylindrical body; a strap attachment at each end of the cylindrical body; a sleeve on the cylindrical body; a plurality of pockets on the cylindrical body; and a pull cart, wherein the pull cart supports the cylindrical body. The pull cart includes an extendable handle, where the sleeve fits over the extendable handle. Further features of the pull cart includes a base and a set of wheels, where the base supports the cylindrical body. The plurality of pockets may includes a towel pocket and other pockets for accessories related to the yoga practice. A bottle holder is provided on the cylindrical body to hold a water bottle.
