A Handy Item for all Students 
2008-02-13
I bought this bag because I needed something to carry the yoga mat that I had bought before my semester started. The mat didn't come with anything, a strap or a little mesh bag, so it was difficult to carry around. Having this makes it so much easier to go from my normal classes to my yogalates classes. The only thing I wish would be different would be the actual strap; it isn't adjustable, so it tends to slip down my shoulder a lot. And the bag has a tendency of picking up lint where you think there shouldn't be any. But otherwise, this is a great product.
my new favorite yoga mat bag! 
2008-01-29
This bag is great because unlike most, it has lots of nifty pockets for my stuff. I am able to fit my ipod shuffle, yoga bible, yoga strap, yoga block, AND my mat! It's less expensive than most of the bags I've looked at with the extra pockets.
THis BAG ROCKS!!! 2008-01-17
I Got the Russet colored bag, and boy is it beautiful! It has a bigger pocket for a wallet or keys etc... and a smaller pocket for an ipod , it even has a hole for you to feed your headphones through so you can listen to some yoga music on your way to the studio. the stitching is high quality and the material is rugged so you won't have to worry about wearing it out any time soon. this bag is comparable to bags i've seen that cost three times as much. plus the skreen print bamboo leaves on it add a nice decorative touch. you'll be the envy of your yoga class.
great gift purchase 2008-01-03
I bought this bag for a Christmas gift. My friend has been getting compliments on it. Everyone wants to know where she got it. She thought it might be hard to get her mat inside, but she said it is perfect. She loves the color.
Great Bag! 2007-12-10
This is a great bag! I just received mine and couldn't be more happy with it. It fits my yoga mat by the same company well and has plenty of extra pockets to hold all the other stuff (keys, cell phone, etc.)that are all closed with either a zipper or flap with velcro. The material is sturdy and the design is very pretty. I am very happy with this bag and recommend it to everyone!
Nice Yoga Bag 2008-07-25
Since I recently started practicing Yoga, I don't have a lot of experience with yoga products, but I really like this bag. I put my personal items in the bag so I only have 1 bag to carry on my Yoga trips. There's plenty of pocket room to put my cellphone, wallet, tissues, etc. I was just a bit disappointed that the shoulder strap wasn't adjustable, but I work around that. One day, maybe I'll buy the matching mat.
Great sturdy bag! 2008-07-12
I've been using this bag for the last month and it's treated me great... !! It's strong and sturdy! and the HUGE zipper makes it a breeze for me to put the mat inside after a tiring pilates workout ! And I love all of the pockets!
Not so good 
2008-03-17
Cheap quality and stitching. Used it only 4 times so far and the strap seems to be falling apart. It doesn't even carry the mat very comfortably.
Good bag, small "block pouch" 
2008-03-07
Happy with the overall quality of the bag, but the main draw was that it had a pouch for a yoga block. I specifically purchased the Gaiam cork block, assuming that since the bag advertised a block pouch, their block would fit. Not even close. We've managed to use the strap that came with the block to rig it to the bag, but I was pretty disappointed. If the block had fit, I'd have been really happy with the bag, but that was the main selling point on this one for me.
Roomy bag, but a couple drawbacks 2008-02-19
The Amazon product description, as well as on the Gaiam site (and I spoke with a Gaiam customer rep), says that the strap is adjustable. Apparently, they are all incorrect. Both the first bag and the replacement bag I received were without the adjustable strap. That's a dealbreaker for me. I've returned them. The bag would not be useable to me with the adjustability. Too bad; otherwise it's a good bag.
Ample room for a deluxe mat and sundries. Solid, smooth metal zipper. Strong cotton canvas; however, the material does not seem to be treated or coated with any kind of protectant, for it (I had it in black) picks up and retains dust easily and cannot be simply brushed off.
