Why We Partnered with Unalome Yoga

Yoga is both a personal journey and a collective practice. At Asivana Yoga, our mission is to empower people on that path through expert knowledge, comprehensive resources and high‑quality products.

We carefully select partners who align with our values of unity, inner heroism, community, service and sustainability. Unalome Yoga, an eco-conscious brand from Southern California, shared those commitments during our partnership. Their promise to support every yogi’s journey with elevated, eco-conscious towels spoke directly to our community.

This article preserves the story of that partnership, explores what set their towels apart and highlights a few products we carried at the time.

What Makes Unalome Yoga Special

Unalome Yoga was born from a simple question: if yoga is a journey toward enlightenment, strength and self-awareness, why settle for accessories that feel disconnected from that path? Founder Valerie and her husband answered by creating high-performing, eco-conscious towels designed for the heat and heart of hot yoga.

A Symbol of the Journey

The brand draws inspiration from the unalome, a sacred Buddhist and Hindu motif that symbolizes life’s twists and turns toward enlightenment. This emblem reminds us that each journey is unique and encourages patience, trust, self-love and stillness. Unalome Yoga integrates this symbol into their designs, turning each towel into a meditation on progress rather than perfection.

Sustainable Design and Performance

Unalome Yoga crafts accessories using a blend of non-slip microfiber technology and sustainable materials. The towels provide 44% more silicone coverage for exceptional grip, yet remain gentle on the skin thanks to AZO-free, eco-friendly dyes. Ultra-absorbent fabric keeps practitioners steady during the sweatiest classes and dries quickly after practice. Measuring roughly 71 x 24 inches and about 3 mm thick, each towel offers full mat coverage without adding bulk.

Giving Back

Unalome Yoga channels a portion of its profits to environmental charities around the world. During our partnership, the brand supported Pristine Seas, an initiative that works with local communities, Indigenous Peoples and governments to protect vital ocean habitats.

Products We Carried

Ananta Yoga Mat Towel - Named after the Sanskrit word for “infinite,” this turquoise towel featured ultra-absorbent, quick-drying microfiber, a non-slip silicone design with 44% more coverage and gentle, AZO-free dyes.

Sunset Yoga Mat Towel - Inspired by the desert sky at dusk, this gradient towel combined Unalome’s signature grip and absorbency with a calming sunset palette.
