As a private Yoga teacher it is a pain to travel with so many props, mats, blankets and bolsters and on top of that getting work done in between classes for some makes it difficult to travel with necessities like a laptop or the extra weight of books and journals. Whether you are a yoga teacher traveling to teach retreats or a practitioner trying to get from work to the studio with ease, Mantisyoga has your back.
The Mantisyoga Manifest Yoga Bag Series is hands down the most thought out product i’ve come across regarding yoga bags. Far from your basic mat strap or sack with the additional pocket. The manifest collection offers practicality for anyone on the go getting you from point a to point b in a timely manner without all the hassle of having to carry a million things with only two hands! AHHHHH we’ve suffered far too long. Each bag is carefully designed to offer comfort without skipping out on important details and of course style.
Paul Thomas, the creator of MantisYoga reached out to me and asked if i’d like to try out the collection and give my honest thoughts about each bag. I was of course ecstatic to hear about this potentially life changing addition to not only my own personal practice but my work too. (Yes, life changing haha) Have you ever tried carrying a water bottle, 2 yoga blocks, a yoga wheel, a laptop, a heavy mat all while trying not to break the incense in your hand? I’d be lying if i said all aspects of yoga are calming because the traveling part is usually anything but. After hearing about each bag and their intended uses i was excited to know i could actually travel where i needed to go with everything i need and MORE all with ease allowing me to show up with a clear and positive vibe. Stresssss Freeee!
I know i say this a lot but i just love when brands are truly passionate about the products they offer, Paul is a serious bad ass with a truly inspirational story of courage and strength and through it all he work hard for a very long time to carefully create each bag to give us a stress free way of traveling from point A to point B to do what we love. He’s not only passionate about what he does but he is also passionate about giving back. Mantisyoga gives back to organisations like the Africa Yoga Project. I also want to mention that the whole collection is vegan friendly!
