We all start our yoga journey a little, right?
In our case, we bought a very basic mat on Amazon, just to "try it out" and see how it goes with yoga.
We liked yoga. And we did. We upgraded for the first time in less than a year: the €25 mat (still PVC) from Decathlo ...
A year later... the mat lengthened with each downward dog position. What?
That's when we took the reins and created the first non-slip Namastecita. Absolutely amazed, of course, from the first second.
Anyway... we've been using the same one for almost three years now. Its shape hasn't changed. Its grip remains the same. The design is a bit worn, but with pride: it's because we use it!
Our story tells a little about our quest for the perfect mat. It's now our mission to bring it to the world, so everyone can elevate their yoga practice.
Finding a mat that keeps up with you is important, especially if you want to take your practice to the next level . We know Namastecita non-slip mats are the perfect mat for any yogi, and here's why:
Durable Mats
Unlike basic mats, Namastecita mats are designed to last. In 5 years, you may need just one Namastecita mat, while you could end up buying five lower-quality mats.
Cheap is expensive . We all know that.
Over time, this not only saves money and time, but is also more sustainable for our planet.
Elevate your practice
But what the hell does "elevating your practice" mean? Ascending to the celestial plane while practicing? A very... not exactly.
The grip or handle offers greater stability for support during advanced asana and intense practices. If you try to perform a pose but your mat shifts, then you're more likely to injure yourself than advance to the next level.
A properly made mat won't slip or slide, even when you're sweating.
With the trust of our many yogi ambassadors, you can help take your practice to the next level. These experts love our brand, and they can't be wrong.
Ecological Mats
Our mats are more than durable; they're sustainable from production to delivery . The mats are made with environmentally friendly natural products , such as natural rubber from trees. The materials are PVC-free and biodegradable.
Additionally, all mats are delivered via a carbon-neutral shipping system, meaning we pay to remove the carbon emitted into the air by shipping.
Taking it one step further, for every review we receive, we plant a tree (so buy a mat and leave a review to give something back 😉).
More on this on our climate commitment page.
Unique and original designs
All the designs included in our yoga mats are original and exclusive to Namastecita. We currently have three collections: Gold Edition , Viva la Vida , and Dara .
Our Gold Edition is our first collection and features gold ink in the designs.
Our Viva la Vida collection is inspired by a love of music, and Coldplay in particular.
Dara's collection is inspired by a great ambassador of Namastecita.
Each mat includes a center alignment line to help you practice.
Support Local Business
Namastecita is a small local business in Barcelona, run by us, Nico and Lucia.
Between its durability, eco-friendly design, non-slip grip, and unique designs, it has exceeded our expectations, and we hope you love it as much as we do!

No puedo estar más de acuerdo!
Y a eso añadiría ‘Una esterilla que te Cuida’!
En mis 4 primeros años de práctica de Yoga he comprado no menos de 3 esterillas… buscando cada vez más comodidad, más agarre, diseño que me guste, o remplazar un producto dañado (a medida que mi práctica se volvía más frecuente, y más intensa). Desde hace dos años que tengo mi esterilla Namastecita, me olvidé de todo eso, y no busco más! es mi mejor compañera de práctica :)
