I thought when I first started doing yoga that a simple drawstring bag would be the just the thing for getting to class – easy, basic, one string attached. But really my life just ain’t that simple. When I go to teach I need my notebook, my CDs, an extra mat and a few straps if we’re doing Yoga Mudra. So since my life isn’t simple it’s at least been made more convenient with the Hugger Mugger Journey Bag.

Even if you don’t teach, let’s face it, going to class requires at least a wallet, keys, water, cellphone (turned off of course) and mat. If you’re a prop person? Enough said. The bag comes in funky colors, is well organized and well-built. It’s also perfect for weekend retreats if you pack light. Life may not be simple, but a good bag makes it simpler.
