A Yoga Lover’s Gift Guide

1 - Palo Santo 2 - Yoga Words of Wisdom Book 3 - slim bracelet for my new work uniform 4 - mat spray 5 - slip-on Jesus shoes

Since there are approximately six people reading this blog post, let’s cut to the chase, shall we? 

🎁 This is what I want for Christmas: 

Yoga mat strap

Slip-on Jesus shoes - because it’s super annoying to finish a class and have to lace up your sneakers. 

A super slim, natural, neutral bracelet. One that isn’t precious. NOT chunky mala beads (see below)

A bolster

Aromatherapy sprays or similar

Incense or palo santo or similar

Magnesium bath flakes or similar

♥️ For the record, I LOVE but already have: 

Yoga mat spray

A singing bowl. It’s something you have to choose yourself. Preferably in Bali.

Magnesium spray. It’s also great for restless leg syndrome, btw.

🕯️ I have but could always use more:

Candles - this looks cool: “Creative Sabbath” candle

But definitely not candles that smell like vanilla or cookies. That’s so weird. 

🚫 Not for me:

I don’t really enjoy mala beads in the form of necklaces or bracelets. They’re just too chunky, and they get in the way when I type, which is all the time. Plus I’m a minimalist. I just want one tiny bracelet. That’s it.


📚 A note on books: 

I feel like this deserves its own post. I have SO MANY books about learning yoga. I haven’t read them all yet, but it's better to skip this category. UNLESS you find a really good novel or funny memoir about someone doing or learning yoga - I haven’t found one I love. I do like books that offer a little bit of digestible wisdom per day (like the one in the picture above). But I haven't found a lot of those – I might need to write my own.
