Modern Union Yoga Bag Giveaway

See this cute bag? It’s been hanging in my closet just waiting for me to use it.
But I haven’t.
It’s a yoga bag and I can’t  don’t do yoga. Sure, I could use it for any other number of things — it would make a cute laptop bag, gym bag or diaper bag! — but I already have those things. I’ve always planned on giving it to someone, but who?
Anybody need a cute yoga bag?
The reason it is officially a yoga bag is because of these two straps on the bottom that will hold your yoga mat. It’s actually really cool. I almost want to take up yoga just so I can keep the bag.
Here’s a link to a description and more pictures of the bag (including one with a mat, this one does not come with a mat). This bag is by Modern Union and retails for about $55! I have it because I won it through a blog contest almost last year. It was a big basket of items and this was one of the prizes. The yoga bag still has the tags on it!
If you want it, enter below, and when you win, I’ll ship it to you!
I’m paying it forward with a yoga bag…

  2. But just in case, See #1 for my comment lol. No seriously, this would come in handy for my pilates classes. Bringing my own mat and not using a used one.

  4. I've never taken a yoga class before but I hear good things about it. I just want to feel the burn and I don't think you feel it with yoga.

  9. Cute bag!! I tried yoga a year ago & when I started couldn't touch my toes. I now can put my palms on the ground & am much more flexible & strong in the hips & core. It's a great add on for a runner… I'd love the bag but I think you should keep it and give yoga a try!!

  13. Followed through from Lisa's blog – seems like we have a bit in common (my little girl is almost 16 months). I gave up marathon training due to the time commitment, but am doing a 1/2 here or there. And the day I started running I made it around my block (and signed up for marathon training a few weeks later).

  18. I think yoga is a great workout. Every time I do it though, I can only think about how hungry I am. No clearing of the mind for me. My ADD kicks into high gear and I spend more time laughing at my husbands OM pose and meowing at the cat post than anything else. But, I must say that P90X yoga kicks my butt!

  24. ha… i did a kundalini yoga lesson once. there was a lot of talk about it cleansing your body and ridding it of toxins. i was thinking toxins, like impurities purging out through sweat or something.no, it was really cleansing. i spent a lot fo the next two days in the bathroom. i must say, all of that pooping was a good mid-section workout!

  29. I have only taken yoga once. I loved it and it was super relaxing, but I totally realized that I have like zero lung capacity. I was getting lightheaded from all the deep breathing and long exhales. I would run out of breath. With that said, I really want to try Bikram. There is something about a 100+ degree workout that I am itching to try.

  30. I literally just came back from yoga, carrying my stupid, rolled up mat in my hand, because I do not have a yoga bag. Never did. Nada. I've come close to buying one, just never pulled the trigger. So I need one. : )

  32. Never done yoga myself, but my kids did as part of their athletics careers in high school and college. They were always at the best performance wise when they were doing yoga.I think we are getting the rain that the Nothwest usually does. The jet stream has dipped lower or something like that. What's this I read that they are trucking snow into Whistler for the Olympics? Mammoth Mt just received 92 inches of snow this week!

  34. Neat! I always carry my yoga mat in a plastic bag. It can get unruly. This looks like an awesome bag! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.

  36. A few years ago, I was fortunate to have free yoga classes at work. The teacher was amazing. After such a wonderful experience, I tried a yoga class at school, but I couldn't get into it. I think that the feel of the class depends a lot on the instructor.I'm one of the least flexible people I know, so I really should get back to yoga. After doing yoga once a week for months, I finally noticed a difference in my flexibility. I never notice a big difference with simple stretching.

  41. Why the bag? I don't have one and would actually use it. lol In fact I am leaving here in about two hours to head to my Hot Yoga class… makes injury time so much easier to handle. :0)Cheers and thanks for the contest!

  44. I tried Bikram yoga once. It was wicked hard. I had talked one of my guy friends into going with me. He actually loved it and kept up his practice! The best part… after we sweated and stretched to the hilt, we went across the street to Burger King! (Yuck!) 😉

  46. Also, yoga story: I studied in London for a semester in college and I paid too much for Bikram yoga. One of the first times I went I noticed the studio was packed except for this one spot behind an old man. I quickly laid down my mat there. Halfway through the class I looked ahead in crow pose only to realize why my spot wasn't so popular; the man in front of me was wearing short shorts and no undies, and I had a heckuvan ugly view to soak in all to myself. Gross.

  48. Wow – how can I beat that last yoga story? Ick. My yoga has been pretty uneventful. I did pregnancy yoga (is that what it's called?) and that remains one of my favorite memories of being pregnant. It was great.

  49. I'd like it – but to use as a laptop bag! I need a new CUTE laptop bag and this one looks like it would do the trick!

  52. I LOVE yoga! I go to two classes regularly. Our instructor Steve is SUCH a talker, he is very knowledgeable and talks you through every muscle, breath and feeling you could imagine during our 1.5 hour class! Our other instructor Joelle is great, she does a lot of breathing exercises and holds the poses for a nice long time. I also do yoga at home to Wai Lana yoga, she is….a little avante garde. But she has helped me work into a lot of more advanced postures like full wheel, that I am scared to try in class until I master it at home. I don't want to create a domino effect if I fall into the person beside me. 🙂

  53. I love yoga, and was thinking last night (really, not just saying this) that I needed a yoga bag. I usually just carry all of my crap in my arms and drop it on the way into class. I am trying Bikram yoga for the first time today, so I will def need a place to put a towel or too. I think you sweat in that class in a major way.

  54. Love the bag, it'd be really handy to have around for me. The other day I was trying to hold all my stuff plus my yoga mat and the mat completely unfurled onto the ground of the parking lot. It wasn't a pretty sight with me trying to pick it back up without dropping everything else as well! Thanks for a great giveaway 🙂

    Reply

  55. I would LOVE this bag! I used to take yoga a lot but got out of the habit. lately I've picked it back up and I'm trying hot yoga for the first time on Friday! Can't wait! (I'm sure my husband would not agree with me that I need another bag, though!)

  58. I did yoga last year a lot, well twice a week. It was awesome and I really was getting good at it! the instructor used me as an example once because I could “walk down a wall” into a back bend. Very weird because I am not bendy at all! Then this one time I wa in yoga with like the whole YMCA gymnastics coaching team, you know like 15-18 year old girls who are super cute and have NO fat and no MOMMY CURVES!? they were all gigly and bendy and I was like, “wow..is this even a work out when you can just tie yourself up in a knot like that? no, its not.” Oh well. I should get back into it, it is hard and I really enjoy it. It just takes SO long! Most of the classes are an hour to one hour 15 min! Ugh. I would rather be running and lifting.

  62. I have never been to a formal yoga class however my hubby and I have both studied often on our own. I got into yoga my most intensely when pregnant with all 4 of my boys. I used it in collaboration with the Bradley Childbirth exercises. Now I do it to keep my hip flexors limber mostly. There is however a yoga in the park class that is free and I so want to start going to it!
