Recovery Hack: Travel Foam Roll Holder

Love the benefits of foam rolling but hate the awkwardness that comes with bringing one along while traveling? The hard to hold roundness and long length make it impossible to carry along with your numerous packed sports bags? I have a solution for you!

I love to use my yoga mat strap to carry my long foam roll (36 inch). Foam rollers happen to be about the same diameter and length as a rolled up yoga or pilates mat so this hack works great to be able to throw the foam roll over your shoulder and carry it hands free! Most yoga mat straps are adjustable so they should fit your foam roll just right. If looking online, search for “yoga mat strap” or “yoga mat sling” and make sure the one you chose has adjustable openings. (I have linked one below as a reference)

BONUS! You can also use your yoga mat strap as a stretching strap if needed while on the go.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
