Whether the yogi on your shopping list is just starting out or a full blown yoga goddess, here are five gift ideas you can't go wrong with...
- A subscription to Yogaglo. For only $18 a month, this is a wonderful gift for a yogi of any level. The subscription includes unlimited access to hundreds, probably more like thousands of yoga classes ranging in length from 5-90 minutes. You can take meditation classes, classes for a sore back, classes to kick your ass, classes for injured shoulders, the list just goes on and on. Plus, the teachers are phenomenal (Kathryn Budig, Tiffany Cruikshank, Elena Brower, Jason Crandell and many more).
- A nice yoga mat. I would never splurge on a nice mat for myself, but I sure didn't mind using a gift card I got for Christmas last year on one (two, actually)! I recommend anything by Manduka. Of course there are other great brands too, I just happen to be the author of this blog and my preference is Manduka ;) I own the Black Mat Pro ($94) and the eKO Lite ($46). You can read more information and my review of these mats here. If you're yogi is extra tall, Manduka also makes an extra long mat. Perfect!
- A high quality blender. I hear great things about the Vitamix, but I have this Kitchenaid ($130) that I've never had a complaint about. I use it almost daily for smoothies and have also used it to make sauces and soup. In my opinion, no kitchen is complete without one of these.
- A beautiful mala from Tiny Devotions. They have so many malas, you are sure to find the perfect one. I love this one, called the Tiffany Cruishank mala. 10% of the proceeds go directly to The Girl Effect, an effort to end poverty and sex slavery for adolescent girls worldwide.
- A pair of Lululemon Wunder Unders. These leggings are great for yoga, lounging, hiking, wearing under snow pants, dresses... I really love them. At $82, they're a bit spendy, but they're comfortable, durable and oh so versatile. What more could you ask for? They come in a rainbow of colors, but if you're in doubt, go for the plain black. Classic.
