Abstract

A yoga towel with mat retaining elements can provide a capability to receive and retain a mat. By attaching the mat with the yoga towel, the yoga towel can stay on the yoga mat more effectively. This disclosure includes various types of mat retaining elements. First, a mat retaining element can be a strap located near the middle of a mat. The strap allows for a mat to slide between the strap and a portion of the yoga towel. Second, a mat retaining element can be a pocket located near at least one end of the yoga towel. The pocket can be limited to one side of the mat. The pocket can also be on both sides of the mat. While the yoga towel can include mat retaining elements, the yoga towel can be used without a mat, in some embodiments, and can function as a mat, for example.
