NamaSTAY Yoga Spray and Towel Review
Another post for all my fellow yoga lovers out there! As I said in my last yoga gear review, I was having some trouble with slipping and sliding during my yoga classes. Well luckily, I got a pretty rad mat to help with that. But still, towards the end of class, having a towel handy is really helpful with being able to stay stable and strong in your poses.
Up until now I had been using small hand towels that I found around the house to put under my hands and feet when I feel them start to slip during class….but honestly, that wasn’t really cutting it. For one thing the hand towels slip on their own, they are not very absorbent get SOAKED really quickly, and they tend to get all scrunched and twisted up as I’m flowing through vinyasas. Not the best when you’re trying to focus on your practice.
Well, a solution was presented to me in the form of an innovative yoga towel from NamaSTAY!

When I first heard their name the first thing I thought of was this meme…
Because of the emphasis on the STAY!
THIS song also popped into my head…
Okaaay, back on track!
Anyways, what makes the NamaSTAY yoga towel so great is that it’s FULL length of my mat and has these awesome flaps on the top and bottom that allow you to tuck your mat into it. This ensures that it stays in place and doesn’t slide or scrunch no matter how much movement you do on it.
The towel is made of microfiber so it’s super absorbent and dries almost immediately after class. It’s also really soft so it feels great on my hands and feet….plus super comfy during savasana!
The towel is also machine washable which is great because it certainly needs a good cleaning after a sweaty class! I also love the fact that it creates a barrier between my mat and my sweat so that my mat isn’t constantly being exposed to all that nastiness! Ha!
Speaking of cleanliness, the folks at NamaSTAY also sent along some of their Yoga Spray for me to try as well! Made from pure essential oils, this stuff smells incredible! A lot like tea tree oil actually…with a hint of citrus! The spray is all natural and antibacterial so it’s safe to use directly on your mat and does a great job of freshening it while killing bacteria. I feel much better using this stuff for cleaning my mat, than harsh chemicals that could ruin it or irritate my skin.
Both products are reasonably priced and definitely worth the investment to improve your practice and make it more enjoyable over all!
