The best way to up your Yoga Smugness Quotient (YSQ) is to pile on the eco-hippy credentials. Thus, you carry filtered water in a reusable bottle, not environmentally catastrophic bottled water. You wear brightly-patterned, loose-fitting pants, probably with a drawstring at the waist.
And you even pay some shady environmental "agency" to make your incense-burning habit carbon neutral.
To aid you in your quest for a YSQ of 1.0 (the perfect score), you might like to take a look at the Core yoga mat organizer. It comprises a water bottle and a small canister (for keeping your meagre belongings) which screw together. When in yoga class, their use is obvious. When class is done, your yoga mat wraps around the tube and straps keep it furled and let you hang it from your shoulder.
The Core is (or will be) made by Quirky, which means you'll have to pledge to buy one and wait for it to actually be made. And this will be the perfect test of your yoga-hippy patience: The last Quirky product I ordered took so long to actually get made that after months and months of waiting I cancelled my order.
