Mexican ponchos can be used as a yoga blankets because they are essentially mexican blankets with a slit in the middle for your head. So when you lay them out flat on the ground, it is a perfect size of a blanket to for yoga.

This mexican apparel/clothing style is catching on in the yoga community from using baja hoodies as a sweater for the warm-up to mexican yoga blankets or panchos for the yoga mat.

These ponchos are hand made in Mexico (hecho en Mexico) and they are each unique. The great thing about them is that you can get them online for a great price at places like ElChamaco.com and you can get Mexican Baja Hoodies at MexicanThreads.com.

One great idea that I came across was using a Mexican poncho for a yoga blanket.  Yoga blankets and mexican ponchos are made out of the exact same material.  In fact the only difference is that the poncho has a hole in the middle of it for your head.

This way you can essentially wear your yoga mat to the gym. We have already discussed how mexican yoga blankets are becoming the next big thing in terms of yoga style.

Mexican baja hoodie pullover sweater ponchos are another great style are catching on withing the yoga community. They are like the blankets in that they come in many colors. Purple, brown, pink, green, yellow, orange, red, beige, white, black, blue, turquoise and every other colorful scheme you can think of, I have seen them.

If you are looking to buy them, I have found the cheapest place is on MexicanThreads.com and also a seller in Ebay by the name of MexicanThreads has them for the cheapest price I have ever seen on the Internet.
