Yoga is the one form of exercise I don’t mind doing daily. That’s a big deal coming from the girl who sends her kids to get the remote across the room because she can’t be bothered to get off the sofa. But then again, what are kids for, right? I digress.
The point is, we all have at least one friend or loved one who looks forward to their mindfulness time on the mat. For those folks, yoga gifts are always a great idea.
So when the holidays roll around or there’s a birthday or anniversary to celebrate, consult our list here of excellent yoga gift ideas for yogis of all kinds!
Gifts for Yoga Lovers and Meditation Seekers
1. At Home Yogahhh! Retreat Kit
If your yogi friend prefers to practice at home (either for pandemic purposes or just because they don’t like to downward dog in front of everyone), this is a great gift idea.
It comes with ten yoga videos, a mini orange-bergamot calming spray, a fitness balm for achy muscles and circulation improvement, a full-sized milk bath for a post-session soak, and a balancing lotion with chamomile, rose, and lavender.
Cleansing wipes and a spray cleaner are included to refresh and clean your yoga mat as well.
2. 150 Yoga Poses Poster
This yoga wall art print is the perfect gift for the practitioner who owns their own yoga studio or has a dedicated room in their home to practice. Each pose features its name in English and Sanskrit, and it comes in five sizes to fit perfectly in their space.
3. Yoga. Coffee. Naps. Sweatshirt
Really, what else do you need? This sweatshirt is another fantastic gift for yoga instructors. (Or just those who love yoga, coffee, and naps.) Choose from a veritable rainbow of eight colors and sizes from women’s small to XL.
4. Yogaholic T-Shirt
This funny yoga gift would be great for a co-worker or instructor. T-shirts make great stocking-stuffers too, just putting that out there. It comes in women’s small to 3XL and is made from a super soft preshrunk cotton/poly blend.
5. Gold Sunshine Mantra Necklace
With mantras like “be happy,” “still rising,” and “inhale-exhale” engraved in the center of a sunburst design, when your favorite yoga enthusiast wears her sunshine necklace, she’ll take radiant energy everywhere she goes.
This thoughtful gift would look amazing layered with other necklaces or on its own as a statement piece. You can opt to have a personalized message engraved on the pendant, as well.
It’s available in yellow gold, silver, and rose gold and comes with your choice of 16,” 18,” 20,” 22″ chain.
6. Dangling Lotus Earrings
These dangling lotus design earrings would be a lovely anniversary or birthday gift! They’re handmade in your choice of yellow gold, rose gold, or silver. Georgiedesigns also makes a beautiful matching bracelet and necklace for a matching set. We think they’d be the perfect gift for a yoga teacher in your life.
7. Hot Yoga Towel
If hot yoga is what they’re into, your yoga lover will get a TON of use out of this towel. It’s made specifically to wick away moisture, and it features silicone dots on the bottom to prevent slippage. (No one wants to slip in the middle of yoga class.) They can use the towel on its own or on top of their standard yoga mat.
Yogitoes towels are made to last from a machine-washable soft nylon/poly blend.
8. Zen Candle Set
This set of three candles is perfect for meditation or yoga practice. Handpoured with soy wax and an organic hemp wick, they’re free from GMO ingredients and phthalates.
One candle features a lotus flower design and comes in the scent “Zen”. The Buddha candle features a eucalyptus mint scent. The candle with the Sanskrit symbol for OM is crafted with a fragrance called good karma.
All are scented with pure essential oils and naturally sourced fragrances to fill your yogi’s room with serenity.
9. Grippy Yoga Socks
Toeless and featuring silicone nubs on the soles for better grip, your yoga practitioner can wear these socks in yoga class, pilates, barre, or any class where toe freedom is needed. Not only do they hang on and prevent sliding, but they’re also great for wicking sweat and moisture away and avoiding exposure to foot fungus.
10. Self-Care Notebook
A good customizable planner is one of our fave things, and we like the “self care” vibe of this one. Choose between three color themes and cover design, then pick out a weekly planner, monthly planner, or address book. The notebook interior comes with lined or graph paper.
We could all use a little extra motivation sometimes. When they open up this journal in the morning, they’ll be out the door ready to work out quicker than you can say endorphins.
11. Insulated Water Bottle
S’well makes super high-quality water bottles, which is part of why we feature them on our posts so often. Even if your yoga enthusiast already has a cabinet full of insulated water bottles, they’ll probably clear most of them out for this one.
They feature a three-layered, vacuum-sealed construction that’ll keep cold drinks icy for up to 41 hours! Is hot tea more their thing? It’ll keep warm beverages warm for up to 18 hours. With 44 colors and patterns to choose from, you won’t have a hard time picking their new favorite water bottle.
12. Premium Yoga Mat
If you’ve noticed that your yoga lover’s mats shred at an alarming rate, it’s because they’re not investing in a quality mat. This thick, extra cushioned mat is designed to protect the knees, hips, and other pressure points and prevent sweat from permeating the cushion.
This is probably the last mat they’ll ever need. Unless someone runs over it with their car, but even then, we’re pretty sure it would hold up beautifully. It’s available in six colors and comes with a lifetime warranty.
13. Yoga Mat Cleaner
Yoga mats can get stinky if you don’t clean them regularly, particularly if your practitioner is a perspirer. Yoga mat cleaner is always a must-have accessory, but these are extra fancy. They’re made with natural organic essential oils that smell ah-mazing.
There are eight therapeutic scents available, and if they’re sensitive to aromas, Asutra offers an unscented cleaner as well. Every bottle comes with a soft microfiber towel.
Savasana has never smelled so good!
14. Yoga Block
These are a lifesaver for poses where balance and stability take center stage. (Which is a LOT of poses, in case you weren’t sure.)
Yoga blocks are helpful for every yoga practitioner, regardless of whether they’re a newbie or a pro. They aid in the natural progression of poses throughout a yogi’s practice, allowing him or her to get deeper into the poses, develop better balance and alignment, and increase strength. Yoga blocks are also used as a modified meditation cushion to support the sitting bones during meditation.
They come in a set of two with four color options.
15. Original Yoga Mat Bag Sling
Specifically designed to carry everything that yoga lovers need for class! This yoga mat bag securely and comfortably fits most sized yoga mats, and it features a side pocket for a water bottle, towel, and sandals. It also has a zippered pocket for your everyday carryables like keys, phone, wallet, etc.
It’s made from sturdy canvas with a comfortable wide strap and is available in eleven colors and patterns.
16. Rebel Mandala Print
Excuse me. I may be geeking out just a little bit (or a lot) over this print. Any mandala is beautiful and would be a great addition your yogi’s studio. But this one features the rebel alliance’s symbol at the center, making it an extra unique representation of peace and unity between all species. Intergalactic or otherwise.
We love all of Minted’s wall art, but if you have a loved one who loves Star Wars as much as they love yoga, this one is the BEST!
Namaste
We hope our list of yoga gifts has provided you with some inspo and ideas for choosing the perfect gift for your fave yoga friend. Yoga really is a spiritual journey that cultivates positive energy within those who practice.
Most days, anyway.
