A Fabulous Start!

Since its humble beginning (female and Canadian founded), Halfmoon has been inspired by the values of yoga: non-violence, truthfulness, abstention from wrongdoing, compassion and kindness.

In 1983, Halfmoon’s founder Beth McTavish was captivated by yogis practicing at the edge of the Ganges River, in Varanasi, India. She was absolutely mesmerized by their intent, their focus, and the stillness of yoga in the midst of noise, chaos, and colour. If you’ve ever witnessed or learned any form of yoga, you may remember that “virgin” feeling, wondering how it’s all possible with all of the hustle and bustle of life. 

When she returned home, McTavish’s own Iyengar practice began.

That was over 30 years ago. The world has gotten much much busier. And, the focus that yoga and meditation require has both grown in popularity and necessity. 

In 1989, Beth united her love for yoga with her experience in manufacturing. Like an episode of “Flea Market Flip” for yogis, a red seat belt became her yoga strap and rolls of cotton batting became sturdy handcrafted bolsters….Halfmoon Yoga Products had begun!

Halfmoon, Today

It’s now 2020, nearly 40 years since McTavish visited India. And, over 30 years since its inception, the same values (non-violence, truthfulness, abstention from wrongdoing, compassion and kindness) continue to inspire Halfmoon, along with its sister company, B Yoga (merged in 2018), which we’ve also featured

 

Halfmoon offers everything from mats to mat carriers, but they are so much more. Halfmoon is all about modifying your meditation and yoga with Bolsters, Meditation Cushions, Straps, Sandbags, Blocks, and Blankets.

 

Together, Halfmoon and B Yoga continue to offer diverse and enduring yoga and meditation props to yogis across the globe.
