This yoga mat from Manduka is super thin (1.5mm) and portable. I actually carried this exact mat around in my suitcase for our first 2 years as digital nomads.
It weighs only 2.2lbs (1.3kg) so it’s perfect for yogi’s on the go.
It’s made from a durable woven rubber that’s easy to clean, and is also slightly textured for a good grip.
Whether you have a checked bag, or strap it to a backpack, this portable yoga mat can go with you everywhere!
