I am travelling now and it is the first time in a long time I haven't left home with my travel yoga mat. And I regretted it almost instantly. I had to go out and buy another yoga mat and its so much bigger and bulkier than my easy to use, compact and lightweight mat. In fact, I'll be leaving it behind when I move on, just because it's too big to travel with. Travel yoga mats are great for those who want to practice on the go and they are perfect for hotel rooms and guesthouse
