Softest and yet smallest yoga mat for travel

Post date: 2024-09-03 13:26:24

I need a yoga mat that can fit in my luggage. What's a nice cushioned mat that also folds up really small?

I'm heading to a yoga retreat next week and was just informed we need to bring our yoga mat with us! I dont see how this is humanly possible but... I have a week to figure it out.

I am what some might call... an overpacker. There is no spare room in my suitcase. There is no way in hell I'm getting a yoga mat in this thing, along with the nine million other items I'm bringing. But I dont have a choice. There will not be an opportunity to buy one once I'm there. So I have to find the tiniest, most fold-up-able mat out there. BUT I dont want it to be paper thin because then it will hurt to use!

Can anyone recommend a good travel yoga mat that FOLDS up (not rolls) and still provides enough cushion? It has to be something that'll get to me (in NY) in the next week. I would prefer it be under $100. Leaving stuff out of my suitcase to create more room is not an option :) Ideally this thing wouldnt even GO in my suitcase and would somehow fit in my carry on?

Small bonus question: Will airlines let me bring a yoga mat in a sling onto the plane? Or will that eat up my "carry on" allotment and thus, be no good since I have to bring my backpack as my carryon
