Yoga bag

This waterproof ultra-lightweight bag transports your yoga mat safely through wind and weather and also offers space for a few yoga basics or a towel. A zippered pocket with a slip pocket can hold your wallet, keys and cell phone, so you always have them to hand.

The fabric for the body is made of polyester and - like all hejhej items - is itself recyclable. The handy shoulder strap made of tightly woven hemp can be removed and used as a yoga strap if you forget it. At 2.30 meters long, it is long enough for this, but the strap cannot be removed and reattached quickly - it takes a minute. However, this is the only drawback we have to say about this yoga bag. Apart from that, we can only say: Namaste, off to your next yoga class (no more excuses about bad weather)!

Gentle hatha yoga, calm yin yoga, flowing vinyasa yoga or powerful dynamic ashtanga yoga - whatever yoga style you prefer, the right yoga mat is just as important for your yoga practice as good instruction. And as diverse as the types of yoga are, the selection of yoga mats on the market is just as large. Although natural materials such as fur, cotton, cork or leather are particularly suitable for yoga as one of the ayurvedic components, mats made of synthetic materials have proven themselves especially for the dynamic yoga styles. Not only do they cushion better when practicing the various asanas and vinyasas, but they are also sweat-resistant and can be wiped clean. So far, so good - or not, because plastic is not exactly the most sustainable material. Anna Souvignier and Sophie Zepnik were of the same opinion, but searched in vain for yoga mats made of recycled and recyclable material. What could be more obvious than to focus on the development of a closed-loop-yoga mat instead of searching? After all, both are not only enthusiastic yoginis, but had also just finished their sustainability studies in Sweden. So they were able to bring the experience and knowledge from both fields into the development of their yoga mat. The result was a sustainable, fully recyclable yoga mat - which incidentally also meets all the other criteria that are important to the two of them - and their newly founded company hejhej-mats. They have since expanded their range to include other products that are also circular.
