We’re always looking for ways to better our yoga practice. Whether it be trying a different type of yoga, a class with a new teacher, or simply using props to enhance positions. When it comes to yoga props, we turn to locally made Halfmoon Yoga Products. With over 20 years experience making yoga products, they certainly know exactly what they’re doing. And it seems as though they love yoga just as much as we do!
We adore the Halfmoon Eco Mat, an environmentally friendly mat that provides great feel and traction. Made of TPE (Thermal Plastic Elastomer) it’s decomposable, recyclable and hypoallergenic. The closed-cell structure makes for a very hygienic mat by preventing bacterial growth resulting from sweat.
The Halfmoon Travel Mat is perfect for summer time and for any one on the go! Weighing just over 1 pound, it’s made to fit perfectly into a suitcase, backpack, or overnight bag. Durable, lightweight, and easy to clean, pair it with a Halfmoon Mat Strap for your yoga on the move!
The Halfmoon Studio Mat is a classic waffle yoga mat that has a durable, textured non-slip surface and is latex free (made of PVC). You just might recognize this mat from the Semperviva studios!
Assorted Halmoon Yoga Mats $22-$50
This beautiful crescent shaped sitting cushion is great for meditation. Its natural wedge shape allows your pelvis to tilt slightly and your spine to rise, creating a tall and relaxed sitting position. 100% Cotton cover and filled with buckwheat hulls, this Deluxe Om Zafu Sitting Cushion is $49
Yoga straps are a great way to extend your reach in challenging poses. They’re great for leg stretches and let you work more intensely and safely. Halfmoon Mat straps are versatile, in that they can be used to carry your mat, and easily convert into a yoga strap as well. Assorted Halfmoon Straps $12-$16
Our poor feet are so often used and so often neglected. This is why we think Joy-a-Toes is such a great idea! They help relax and rejuvenate tired, achy feet, realign bones and soft tissue, as well as stimulate circulation, increasing flexibility and strength. All of this, in these cute gel toe spreaders! Joy-a-Toes $40
These traditional bolsters fit perfectly under your knees for lower back support, or facilitating a deeper chest opening and supporting a forward bend; Cylindrical Bolsters $81
Don’t just take our word for it. You can find the Halfmoon Yoga Products at our Semperviva Lifestyle Store on West 4th, as well as our Sun and City Studio locations on West Broadway.
