Designed with Intention: The Meaning Behind Sola

 

In a world of fast wellness and mass-produced gear, we built something more intentional, designed to help you move with purpose.

Whether you're flowing through sun salutations, powering through a HIIT circuit, or simply finding stillness in breath, the Sola mat was designed to support every part of your journey, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

What Sola Means

The word Sola carries deep meaning and it’s the foundation of everything we create.

• Alone: Sola is a nod to the courage it takes to show up for yourself. To move through discomfort. To grow on your own terms. We believe that when you meet yourself on the mat, you show up stronger for the world around you.

• Foundation: Your mat is where you build your practice, your mindset, your discipline. It’s where you return when things feel off. Back to breath. Back to presence. Back to you.

• Sun: The source of energy, vitality, and life. Just like the sun, your movement practice brings light and strength into everything you do.

Sola was born from a personal need and desire for a mat that could truly support a multi-disciplinary practice without sacrificing grip, comfort, or sustainability. And we knew we weren’t alone.

Our Values in Action

We didn’t just want to make another yoga mat. We set out to design a tool that reflects our values and truly supports your movement. 

Support That Stays With You.
The Sola mat features a non-slip surface and bottom that keeps you grounded no matter how sweaty your hands or how dynamic your flow. Durable, grippy, and built to last.

Movement, Not Just Yoga.
This isn’t just for yoga. Sola is built for how real people move:  pilates, mobility work, strength training, stretching, and stillness. It’s designed to grip and support you throughout your entire fitness journey. 

Designed to Be Felt, Not Just Seen.
From its muted color palette to its soft, open-cell texture, every detail of the Sola mat is designed to elevate your experience. It rolls out flat, cushions without collapsing, and offers a steady grip that keeps your hands, feet, and focus grounded.

Earth in Mind.
We believe in doing better for your body and the planet. The Sola mat is made with eco-friendly, natural rubber, without toxic foams or dyes. It’s shipped in plastic-free packaging and designed to last, so you buy once and buy well.

What We’re Not

We’re not flimsy mats that curl at the edges.
We’re not slippery plastic that slides across the floor.
We’re not just another fitness trend.

We’re your foundation.
We’re your support system.
We’re your quiet reminder to show up for yourself.
