"Hi, my name is Ashley Ludman from Seaside Yoga here to tell you a little bit about folding your yoga mat. Well first, the only time I usually fold my yoga mat is when I'm traveling and it needs to fit inside of my suitcase. Other times, I actually roll my mat up. This is how you would roll your yoga mat. You would start at one end and make a very tight roll because ensuring that this begins the roll, you won't have a cone shape. You'll just have a mat shape where the edges are even. You'll roll all the way to the end as tight as you can. You're ready to go. It's a little bit of a cone shape, I didn't quite get the edges as even as I would like. So, might have to start again but that's how I would fold or roll my yoga mat."
