The Yogi Christmas Wishlist

Here’s some ideas for the yoga newbie, lover & pro in your life! (Or… some ideas for your own wishlist!)

Rumour has it the Black Friday deals are kicking off early this year. 🤫 So I’ve compiled a little yogi’s wishlist in case you want to snag a deal before the holiday madness! 🎁

Yoga is fast becoming the chosen at home workout plan & can you blame it? No need to leave the living room for a bodyweight workout, no equipment required and the strength and flexibility gained is priceless. ✨

But just because no equipment is required… doesn’t mean you can’t fluff up the experience a little bit! From cushion-y mats, yoga straps & blocks and meditation cushions – the at home yoga studio can be as extra as one’s heart desires.

Here’s a few ideas gift ideas for the yoga newbie, yoga lover & yoga pro in your life!

For The Yoga Newbie

The Gaiam Premium Print Yoga Mat

The Gaiam printed mat is an affordable way to kickstart your yoga journey. Start from the ground up – literally, and snag a yoga mat from a trusted brand. Over 12,000 people grabbed one for themselves, and it boasts a 4.5 star rating on Amazon. A mat increases grip and cushion, making holding yoga poses more about the pose than about slipping around.

The Everlast FIT Yoga Essential Kit

Have all the essentials on hand – all at once! This kit exists in my studio at this very moment. The purple mat is a nice thickness for both home use and for travelling with, and it’s printed with the sun salutation flow. 🌞 The yoga blocks and yoga straps that come with the mat make for the perfect beginner yoga accessories.

The Merka Yoga Flashcards

What a dream this deck is, with 45 different poses in their English & Sanskrit names, a visual of each and 5 yoga flow cards included! This little deck of cards is perfect for the brand new yoga student. Each card is filled with cues and notes on the pose. This gift would go along perfectly to follow along with the #YPB Yoga Pose Breakdown library! 😉

For The Yoga Lover

The Zabuton Meditation Cushion

This cushion is the closest I could find to my favourite cushion. A meditation cushion brings the meditator’s hips above the knees, allow the yogi to sit more comfortably for longer periods. With a removable cover for easy washing, a handle for easy transport and a buckwheat stuffing – this Canadian owned small business checked all the boxes.

The Halfmoon Deluxe Studio Mat

This yoga mat is my all time favourite, and I still use it to this day. The high quality shines through, and the cushion is extra luxurious. Coming in at 6mm thick – this waffle textured mat won’t let the yogi down. I love the b, halfmoon story. The brand b and the brand halfmoon – two Canadian owned small business – converged and became bigger. A reminder how bright we could be collectively – should we choose to collaborate and not complete.

The Eonshine Canvas Bolster

Upgrade the Yin Yoga experience with a bolster. WLE doesn’t explore a lot of yin yoga at the moment, but the slower pace of this style of yoga calls for props. The yogi rests in each pose for longer periods in yin style, and having pillows and bolsters to rest upon can help the yoga student remain in the pose longer.

For The Yoga Pro

The Leewadee Meditation Cushion Set

Perhaps your favourite yogi is spending longer and longer spells on the meditation cushion these days. Treat them to an extra comfy experience with this meditation cushion set. The ankles have somewhere soft to rest, and the taller cushion keeps the hips above the knees for clocking in longer meditation moments.

The URBANFit Yoga Wheel

For the yogi practicing deeper bends and stretches, and perhaps exploring inversions. The Yoga Wheel purchase comes with a bonus yoga strap and digital guide for ideas on how to use your new wheel. Rated 4.5 out of five, over 900 users liked the experience. Eco-friendly and coming to you from California, this piece will last in the yoga studio for years to come.

The Bare Home Weight Blanket

Trust me on this one. As one dives deeper into yoga and meditation, the magic of yoga nidra (think of it as guided relaxations) is bound to be stumbled upon. Here’s the secret sauce recipe: lying down under a weighted blanket, with an eye covering, a pillow under the head and one under the knees. You hit play on the WLE Guided Relaxation meditation and find the deepest relaxation you’ve ever felt. No gatekeeping here, the relaxation is real.
