This allows for thicker mats to be carried without making another strap. Slip the noose you create over the rolled yoga mat to position the strap at the center of the mat.

You can even use the same method to create a strap for a camping mattress picnic blanket or rug though i m not sure why you d need to carry a rug around town. Roll your eyebag up into your mat and secure with your yoga strap for an easy shoulder harness to transport to class. Side shoulder yoga mat bags are efficient comfortable and totally safe to use on a bike. No need to buy a fancy carry bag or special sling thing.
