About Us

Founders of ONDA Movement
Our Story

Made for movement.
Born from friendship.

ONDA started with two best friends, a shared love for Pilates, and one very simple thought: why are all the towels so boring?

This is ONDA

We wanted a towel that felt as intentional as the workout itself.

01

Two best friends + one idea.

We met at Florida Atlantic University and quickly bonded over our shared love for wellness, Pilates and all things aesthetic. Every time we showed up to class, we noticed the same thing: the towels never felt as considered, stylish or fun as the rest of the experience.

One day we looked at each other and said, “Why don’t we just make our own?”

That simple idea became ONDA.

02

Created from the ground up.

What started as a conversation turned into late-night planning sessions, sample testing, designing prints, packing orders and learning how to build a brand from scratch.

We wanted to create a Pilates and yoga mat towel that was functional enough for your workout and cute enough to make you excited to bring it to class.

Each ONDA towel measures 25 × 73 inches and is designed to fit most standard mats, with an absorbent surface, grip backing and statement prints made to bring personality to your practice.

Portuguese onda
The meaning behind the name

Movement. Flow.
Energy. Rhythm.

ONDA means “wave” in Portuguese. To us, a wave represents movement, flow, energy and rhythm — everything we want your workout to feel like.

The name is also personal to our story. Amanda is Brazilian, and Brazil has always inspired the warmth, energy and effortless feeling we want ONDA to embody. Choosing a Portuguese word felt like the perfect way to honor that connection while creating a name centered around movement.

More than a towel

What ONDA is all about.

Movement

Pieces designed to move with you, from Pilates and yoga to heated workouts and everything in between.

Personality

Workout essentials don't have to be boring. We create statement prints designed to feel uniquely you.

Community

ONDA is rooted in friendship, confidence and creating a community that makes showing up for yourself feel good.

This is only the
beginning.

ONDA began with a towel, but the vision has always been bigger. We're creating a movement and lifestyle rooted in friendship, wellness, confidence and making movement feel a little more fun. Thank you for being part of our story.
