How many times during your last trip did the serene thought of a few rounds of Sun Salutation float into your mind? Knowing how stressful traveling for work or pleasure is these days, probably quite often. But finding the time or space to engage in a full yoga practice while on the road is more than a challenge.

Tense muscles from airplane seats, be gone! We’ve tracked down the most useful and portable yoga goods to help you keep up your practice while trekking the world. From DVDs and bags to kits and clocks, you’ll be able to maintain your sanity while sleeping in any hotel bed from now on.

In-Room Guided Yoga Programs

Where you stay can be just as important as what you bring from home. Two major hotel chains now offer guest programs that feature Gaiam DVDs and props. Kimpton Hotels, with luxurious locations throughout the United States and Canada, offer a free (and soon to be eco-friendly) tote bag with a mat, strap and other props for your in-room practice. You’ll find yoga, Pilates and meditation content on the hotel’s Mind. Body. Spa. Channel. For those who prefer a little company, the hotel staff will also direct you to quality local classes and studios.

If you won’t be near a Kimpton location, ask your chosen hotel if they use the LodgeNet video system in their rooms. LodgeNet features Gaiam yoga and fitness programs through its in-room on-demand TV programming, which is available in nearly 2 million hotel rooms (and growing).

Yoga-on-the-Go Deluxe Kit

If bringing a full-size mat along during your travels is your biggest roadblock, we’ve got the solution to your problem. In Gaiam’s Yoga-on-the-Go Deluxe Kit, you get a pair of both gloves and footsies that feature a rubber grip just like your favorite mat. On any smooth surface, you will be able to practice your favorite poses and practices with ease. Also included in the kit are the 30-minute Lower Body Yoga for Beginners DVD and six pose cards that focus on releasing lower body tension, a common issue for travelers thanks to tight airplane seats and long car rides.
