Yogo Mat Review - A Different Travel Mat

I'm about to head to Nepal for more than 2 weeks with nothing more than the things I can carry on my back, not to total more than 15.4 pounds (plus a purse - plane restrictions) - Yikes!  Although  Mr.M8 was super supportive and tried to assure me that I could find adequate yoga and mat purchasing in the birthplace of the Buddha, I became completely obsessed with finding a mat that could be easily carried on my back without taking up too much of my precious weight limit.  

After tireless research of all of the big name companies, I still wasn't happy.  Luckily, I'm injury free, so I didn't really care about extra cushion.  I'm only 5'6 with a small to medium frame, so I didn't need a giant space.  I just wanted a light weight, compact, easily portable yoga mat to use while backpacking around a small asian country.  You'd think they'd be a dime a dozen, but none of the big companies stood out from the rest of the pack.

I'm a huge fan of amazon.com, and they didn't let me down this time.  I found the Yogo Mat with a handful of positive reviews, great features, and it seemed to be just what I was looking for.  Check out their ad below.

These people understand what I want.  Lightweight, small, clean, foldable, eco friendly, sticky, and I can attach it to my purse or backpack with it's integrated straps.  Finally, someone seems to understand my needs!  When my mat arrived, it was everything that I wanted.  It is a little smaller than my normal mat, but there is a larger size available if that's what you need.  For me, the original mat was unbeatable!  

I'll let you know how this works when I'm done practicing yoga in the Himalayas!
