Andrea McKay - CEO & Founder, B Yoga & Half Moon
Jun 07, 2023 Season 4 Episode 2
Hosted by Kelly McGuire

Sometimes the most brilliant ideas originate from the most unlikely places. This happens to be the case with B Yoga, or the B Mat to be precise.  A long-time lover of yoga after discovering the practice while obtaining her MBA in Australia, Andrea had spent several years in marketing and business development before joining her family’s fifth generation manufacturing and technology business.  A chance encounter with product they were reviewing ignited a spark that led to that start of B Yoga, and eventually the addition of Half Moon.

 Throughout our conversation, Andrea’s purpose and intention were omnipresent.  From navigating roles within her family’s company, to leaving parties early to work on her business plan for B Yoga, her focus and work ethic have been steadfast.  As yoga and her new endeavour came more into focus, Andrea also started building another family – her own.  This has also come with joys and challenges, specifically their eldest daughter’s diagnosis of William’s Syndrome, which Andrea speaks to so honestly and openly.

 There are so many facets to this conversation that I absolutely adore.  Andrea is so solid in the foundation of who she is and what B Yoga and Half Moon stand for.  She is not afraid to dive deep on issues that many companies shy away from, and is fueled by “fulfilling her vision of inspiring all individuals to live their truth.”
