With grippy Toughtek® pads designed to hold your yoga mat, the Truckasana is the ultimate yoga tote.

19 liters / 1160 cu. in.

We've retired the Truckasana so we can focus our efforts on other projects. You can sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of the page to receive updates on what we're working on next!

Description

The Truckasana is a mid-sized Truck tote. A slightly larger size is the original Truck, and if you’ve got a lot to haul, check out the Monster Truck. If you're going for a small outing, check out the Pick-Up Truck.

Our spies have informed us that some of you (we shan’t name names here) were shamelessly using our Truck tote as a yoga and gym bag. Such unauthorized use is highly frowned upon. However, we decided that rather than reporting you to the Bag Police, we’d cover for you and design a tote bag even better suited to the task. Hence, we offer you Truckasana.

The Truckasana is based upon, and roughly the same size as, you guessed it, the original Truck tote. However, a deeper look will reveal some features and functionality you haven’t seen before, design elements that Tom has developed for his as yet-to-be-released Gym Bag (which, SPOILER ALERT, looks almost nothing like the Truckasana.) So there you go: some ideas from the past, some ideas from the future…. wait a second: there’s no past and there is no future, and it’s likely this has already happened before. Spooky!

What makes the Truckasana specifically a yoga bag? The body of the tote is contoured to form a cradle into which your yoga mat (or foam roller) will nicely repose; just drop it between the handles / straps and away you go. 

So, how does it accomplish that mesmerizing feat? Via two grippy spots integral to the inside top edge of the Truckasana; these spots are made of Toughtek® fabric and have a small amount of foam padding in them. The padding raises the Toughtek® fabric a bit proud of the surface fabric, enhancing contact with your yoga mat or roller.

When you lift your bag, the Toughtek® pads contact and gently squeeze your yoga mat / foam roller and hold it in place. Will you be able to toss your bag into the back of your car all higgly-piggly, and expect your mat or roller to stay in place? Can you swing your Truckasana around like a crazy person and know that it and your crazy person yoga mat are held firmly together? Um…. no. But, if you’re just walking down the street, or hauling your yoga mat, blocks, water bottle, blanket, strap and other accoutrements from one room to another, or to your back or front yard to practice outdoors, it’ll work splendidly.

Like its kin the original Truck, it’s divided into three big compartments: the allocation into these compartments of clean clothes vs. workout clothes vs. street shoes, etc. —  we leave this up to you. After that, the Truckasana has the features and build-quality you’ve come to expect from us: finished seams, YKK zippers, cushy Poron foam handles. We gave zipper closures to the front and back pockets, thinking you might like a bit of added security for your phone, keys and what-not. It’s got 8 O-ring tether points to help you keep track of small stuff in Organizer Pouches and on Key Straps.

What’s with the name, you may ask? The Sanskrit word āsana translates to posture in English; when we’re talking about postural yoga, we’re talking about āsana — and we’re also talking about the Truck, so we figured the name Truckasana made at least some sense for this bag. 

Our friend Rose who studies yoga, yoga philosophy, Ayurveda and Sanskrit and practices Iyengar yoga has been sharing her feedback with us about the Truckasana; she noted "It’s perfect to fit in all my props. The design is brilliant! I use a yoga mat but 80% of my Asana are done on blankets since I do Iyengar. I cannot wait to carry this regularly to all my classes, Yoga seminars and events. I am also a “low waster” so I carry steel canteen water bottles, Bombay style tiffin, cutlery and napkin. This bag serves both my purpose. I can carry everything I need everyday." 

Rose also translated Truckasana into Devanāgarī script for us — ट्कासना । 

You can, of course, use the Truckasana as a regular ol’ tote bag; those Toughtek® spots will likely do well in nestling a jacket, roll of paper, tripod, or other such items in place. 

Speaking of other uses for the Truckasana — you may have noticed the photos and video of our friend Gerri using the  Truckasana as a bag for crochet supplies. One of the many cool things about the Truckasana is that it can do double and triple duty: not on your way to yoga class? Use the Truckasana as your knitting or crochet bag. Not knitting or on your way to yoga? Use the Truckasana as a grocery bag.

A Note on the Measurement/Volume Ratio Compared to The Truck:
Though technically only a little shorter (top to bottom) than the original Truck, the Truckasana has roughly 20% less usable volume because the top is effectively cut-away to create space for your yoga mat, foam roller, winter coat, whatever. The volumetric measure of the Truckasana does not include this space.

    Trucksana is perfect!

    I had no idea why I wanted a trucksana.I don’t do yoga but I loved the color combo. Turns out it’s the perfect size bag to put my chihuahua in! I can go shopping and bring everything I need and my dog!!! She loves the stable bottom and anything I need to take or buy fits in the side compartments!!! We love it!!!

    Skeptical turned to love

    I purchased the black with tidal interior after a long search for the right yoga bag. I didn't want a bag that I had to carefully roll my mat up to squeeze in and thought I'd try the Trucksana. At first I wasn't sure how well it would work with the mat resting on the top, but now I'm convinced and see the many well thought out design features.

    What's to love?

    -The mat stays put when being carried, thanks to the textured sides.

    -There is plenty of space to carry the bag on your shoulder, even with a large mat.

    -The bag fits 2 blocks, water bottle, strap, etc with room to spare.

    -Your keys won't get lost thanks to the hook inside.

    -Love that there is a small exterior pocket on both sides of the bag.

    -Love the contrasting color inside to find any stray items.

    -The tidal is beautiful (got the matching 3D organizer cube).

    -It doesn't look or function just as a yoga bag, so I can put my mat in my trunk and carry it around for groceries or whatever.

    -When my blocks are in the bag, it maintains the structure enough to hold my mat up. Without the blocks, it is a soft bag and not meant to hold its shape on its own. Not a problem for me.

    Overall, I love this bag and have found it to be beautiful, very high quality but importantly-very functional and pleasant to use. Highly recommended for a yoga bag and so much more.

    ❤️🐶 We love this bag!

    Truckasana is handy for running to/fro yoga class, but I really love it for going around town with my small 5 lb pup. She comfortably sits in the middle compartment and I can use the attachment to secure her harness. Then I have two side sections to place other things that won’t disturb her as well as the outer zipper pockets which securely hold my phone wallet, etc.. Very comfortably fits on my shoulder thanks to the padded straps. Yes it’s more $ than the other Trucks but soooo worth it. Love.

    Amazing

    This one is a game changer for me. Previously, I was carrying a huge tote bag just to fit my mat. The idea that the Trunk allows to be carry a mat across the bag as opposed to inside it means I need a lot LESS bag to carry. It’s big enough to hold the essentials easily. The mat grip works as intended and better than expected. This has made the entire process of going to the gym easier. Thank you guys for making this bag!
