For many, yoga isn’t just a workout — it’s a way to escape from life’s stresses and it’s a spiritual tradition. Those who embrace the yogic lifestyle wholeheartedly can always use some beautiful and functional gifts to elevate the moments of peace and make their sessions even more comfortable, enjoyable, and relaxing. Here are some of the best gifts for yoga lovers this season.
Custom Yoga Mat
A high-quality yoga mat that feels soft and provides significant support is always a valuable addition to the yoga lover’s arsenal. This year, surprise him or her with a customized mat personalized with their name and monogram. This fun rose gold style, scattered with faux confetti, is a beautiful choice that will brighten anyone’s day. For a more neutral approach, this gray camouflage yoga mat can also be upgraded with their name.
Namaste T-Shirt
Namaste is uttered so often that it sometimes loses its authentic meaning. The Sanskrit word for “I bow to you” is spoken as a form of respect. Because yoga helps practitioners connect in a deeper way with their truths, their feelings, and their souls, the word acknowledges the sacred recognition of the divinity that exists within everyone. For those yogis in your life who truly connect with this philosophy, a simple shirt like this one that recognizes the intent is best. It’s soft and comfortable, so they can easily wear it during their sessions or when they’re off-duty.
Custom Leggings
Leggings are practically uniform for many practitioners, although the bottom line is that anything that keeps the wearer comfortable is ideal. Opt for a pair of stretchy bottoms that have a connection with something they love. There are hundreds of fun and funky styles available in a wide range of vibrant colors, with all kinds of unexpected patterns. Or you can create your own design by customizing a pair with anything from words to artwork.
Yoga Book
A great book can provide valuable insight into the deeper meaning of yoga and the principles that have the potential to open up an entirely new world for enthusiasts. The Yoga Mind: 52 Essential Principles of Yoga Philosophy to Deepen Your Practice by Rina Jakubowicz is an excellent option that explains different disciplines, practices, and habits that can contribute to a more cultivated and well-rounded yoga lifestyle.
Cleaning Supplies
A thorough yoga session is rewarding but can also yield a slightly — or seriously — sweaty mat. Gaiam Super Yoga Mat Wash is made with organic essential oils that refresh and clean the surface without causing any damage. Include a high-quality microfiber towel, like this one from Jade Yoga, to keep the mat steady during sessions.
Calming Candle
A beautiful candle contributes to a serene setting. These striking terrarium candles designed by Zoe Tang are available in two gentle fragrances: pine and vanilla, and white tea and jasmine. Each hand-poured miniature candle is made with soy wax and features your choice of meticulously designed cactus or poppy accents inside.
