WHY URCA
Designed through movement Built in the real world
shaped by practice, refined by experience
It was built to support real bodies, real practice, real lives.
Born from practice not theory
we design from the mat up
Our products come from years of yoga, training, failures, improvement, travel and daily practice.
Every surface, thickness and material choice starts with one question:
What does the body actually need here?
Nothing is random.
20 years in China. Not sourcing. Living.
we don’t outsource trust we build it in person
For over two decades, we lived and worked in China.
Not as buyers. Not as visitors. As operators.
We built companies, produced content inside factories and learned how quality is made before it becomes a promise.
That’s why we:
work directly with manufacturers
audit materials and processes ourselves
check working conditions on site
perform quality control on every batch
No intermediaries.
No blind outsourcing.
No shortcuts.
Designed by movement
every millimeter has a reason
We chose 4.5 mm because it’s the real balance between stability and protection.
We created a 1.5 mm travel version because we live on the move.
We selected different surfaces and materials because:
different bodies move differently
different practices demand different grip
one solution never fits all
If it doesn’t improve practice, it doesn’t make it into URCA.
Performance is not optional
designed for how bodies actually move
a great mat must:
grip when you’re tired
support when you’re unstable
protect when you’re vulnerable
disappear when you’re in flow
We obsess over traction, density and stability.
If a mat fails under pressure, it’s not released.
Sustainability, without losing character
eco doesn’t have to be quiet
Our mats are:
PVC free
made with natural rubber
printed using eco printing or laser engraving
But we reject the idea that sustainability must look neutral or boring.
URCA designs are bold.
Our characters have personality.
Your mat should reflect who you are, not mute you.
Made for a moving life
we don’t live in one place neither should our mats
Studio floors.
Outdoor practice.
Hotel rooms.
Beaches.
Temporary homes.
URCA is built for people who move, explore and adapt.
Because modern practice doesn’t happen in one perfect room.
And neither does life.
This is not a product. It’s a philosophy.
We don’t believe in mass yoga.
We believe in conscious practice.
We don’t believe in cheap production.
We believe in fair craftsmanship.
We don’t believe in trends.
We believe in timeless tools.
And we don’t believe in separating lifestyle from practice.
For us, they are the same thing.
Your mat is where your body meets your life.
It deserves respect.
