FAQ

Is a yoga mat included in the YOGA Tote?

No, we don't include a yoga mat in these BelaBags. it's because when we first designed it, we did in fact permanently attached a yoga mat onto the bag base itself. However, we soon realised that most people prefer using their own mats. They have different preferences for the type of material (rubber or PVC/PU), thickness (4 mm to 10 mm), length, and many other variations. So we thought it best to leave it flexible and open to the user to select their mat preference. this also allows easier shipping of the product.

Should you want a yoga mat included, we can arrange that, since we get wholesale pricing, so just contact us should you want that.

Will my yoga mat fit into the bag?

The standard yoga mat size measures 68 inches in length and 24 inches in width (173 x 61 cm), a dimension designed to accommodate an average-sized individual comfortably. However, not all yogis are the same, and neither are their needs. The Manduka which is popular with many yoga teachers starts at 180 cm x 61 cm.

Our recommended size mat (YOGA Tote Essential)

L 176cm x W 68cm x D 5mm

Maximum sized mat

But If your yoga mat is even thicker, longer or wider, don't worry, message us and we can send you a customised one to fit your favourite mat.

 

Do you have to unpack your whole bag to use the yoga mat?

We include TWO inner 'stashbags' that hold your essentials like clothes, towel, toiletries, etc. One is made of water-resistant Tafetta material, the other an antimicrobial linen bag. Both have handles, so you can pull out and your BelaBag can be unfolded easily. There's also a laptop compartment in the main bag.

Does the Yoga Tote Lux come with a buckle or twist-lock?

Even though some of the photos of the Yoga Tote Lux show a side-press buckle, all production versions now come with a twist-lock, as do the Yoga Tote Essentials.
