About Us
the towel that finishes the outfit.
You didn’t put this much thought into the set to roll out a towel that looks free with a gym membership.
maya. is a grip towel for hot Pilates, sculpt, infrared and yoga. It grips like it means it and looks like it belongs in your wardrobe. Designed in Melbourne, for the ones who take their practice, and their outfit, seriously.
why maya.
I'm the one to attend 6am hot mat pilates each day, and I was done with dealing with this every morning: the hand wipe on the leggings, the towel kicked back into place, the plank that turns into a slide. It's supposed to be my favourite hour of the day.
the slip. Twenty minutes in, the sweat hits and your grip is gone. You stop thinking about your form and start thinking about staying upright.
the scrunch. Regular towels bunch, shift and drag every time you move, so you end up fixing your towel more than your form.
the afterthought. Matching set, slicked bun, good energy, and then a towel that kills the whole look.
So I made the one I couldn’t find.
what you’re working with
- microfibre suede that grips harder the more you sweat
- silicone grip dots on the back, so it stays locked to your mat
- four corner pockets that hug the mat, so it never slides out of place
- 75 x 180 cm, sized for standard studio mats
- contrast-bound edges and a woven maya. label, because details matter
And the prints say what you’re already thinking. born to lead. Be fucking authentic. FASHION IS ART. Or the Perform Grid, with numbered alignment lines that work like a mirror built into your mat.
the energy
it grips. No sliding, no scrunching, no losing your footing mid-set.
it finishes the look. The towel is part of the outfit, not something you hide in your bag.
it keeps you coming back. Investing in yourself looks like a lot of things. Sometimes it’s gear you can’t wait to use. Love what you bring to class, and you’ll keep showing up.
the maya carry
Every towel comes in The Maya Carry, our sheer blush organza tote. Your print shows through on the walk to class. Yes, people will ask.
