I’m a Yoga Teacher and These Are the 28 Best Yoga Gifts Any Yogi Would Love

Stakt Stakt Mat

View On Shopstakt.com

Fitness is a huge focus of my personal and professional life, so I’ve tested dozens of yoga mats over the last several years. Some of the best yoga mats come from popular brands like lululemon, Alo Yoga, Athleta, Yoga Hustle, and more. But it wasn’t until I tried the Stakt Mat that I found my favorite.

Not only is it functional, but it’s also super chic and comes in a wide variety of neutrals and pastels. The mat is so lightweight compared to the options I’ve used, and it comes with a handy carrying strap for even easier portability. But what sets this mat apart from the rest is that it also doubles as a block when you fold it up, which is a valuable tool in any yoga practice. 

Athleta Flow Freely Yoga Block

View On Gap.com

Help the yogi in your life deepen their practice with Athleta’s Flow Freely Yoga Block. Whether it’s for reaching the floor or practicing a supported bridge (setu bandha sarvangasana), a yoga block works to provide support and comfort in any pose. I love this particular pick because it’s not flimsy like others can be—it’s dense enough to provide stability and lightweight enough to easily move around. Plus, it looks stylish on their mat! 

Alo Yoga Mat Strap

View On Everydayyoga.com

As a yoga student and teacher, having a yoga strap that allows me to easily carry my mat to class is essential. Yoga mat straps, slings, and handles are a handy gift for yogis who take their practice on the go. Alo Yoga’s Strap is my favorite because it’s easy to use, super durable, and incredibly versatile. Not only do I use it to transport my mat, but I also loop the end onto my feet while I’m stretching at the end of class to deepen my stretch and improve flexibility.

Higher Dose Infrared PEMF Go Mat

View On Dick's View On Higherdose.com $699 View On Nordstrom $699

If you’re looking to splurge on your wellness-obsessed giftee, HigherDose’s PEMF Go Mat is a great choice. The mat uses pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and far infrared therapy to help potentially reduce stress, increase energy, better sleep, improve circulation, and boost muscle recovery. 

The Go Mat is a smaller version of the brand's original PEMF mat, making it perfect for gift-giving. This product has become an integral part of of my morning and nighttime routines, helping me ground down at the start and end of my day. It’s a wellness tech tool that benefits both the mind and physical body—any yogi's top priority.

Bala Bangles

View On Shopbala.com View On Gap.com

The best ankle weights on the market, Bala Bangles add a challenge to any yoga practice. I wear them on daily walks, during resistance training sessions, and (of course) to intensify my yoga practice—I’m truly obsessed. These particular ankle weights make a perfect gift because they’re functional, durable, and adorable! I love that you can personalize this gift by choosing from the many colors to find one that best suits your recipient.

Therabody Theragun Mini

View On Amazon $170 View On Therabody.com View On Best Buy $169

Every yogi needs rest and recovery days, and you can help support your giftee's practice by getting them one of the best massage guns on the market. The Theragun Mini 2nd Generation is my favorite massage gun—and I’ve tested dozens of options. It’s powerful enough to pack a punch, but small enough to comfortably bring on the go. Plus, I love that it comes with three different head attachments to target all my post-practice tightness.

lululemon Double Roller

View On Lululemon $64

Another rest and recovery tool, lululemon’s double roller is my favorite foam roller out there. After taking classes three days in a row or teaching multiple in one day, my muscles need some major TLC—that’s where this foam roller comes in. I love that it comes with two rollers in one for a more customizable treatment. Plus, it looks super chic in any home or studio space. This pick is perfect for your yoga teacher or yoga-obsessed friend.

Kitsch Ultra Petite Satin Scrunchies

View On Mykitsch.com

Hair ties may seem like a boring gift, but any yogi I know would be thrilled to receive these luxurious satin scrunchies from Kitsch. I never practice without one in my hair, and I usually keep a few extra in my bag because there’s nothing worse than rising to a Downward Facing Dog with sweaty strands falling in my face. I love practicing confident that my hair is out of the way, without risking any breakage thanks to the gentle satin fabric of these ties. Pair this set with a cute onesie (see below) to gift the gift of a cute, chic yoga outfit.

Free People Movement Good Karma Onesie

View On Freepeople.com $98

One of my favorite things to wear to a yoga class is a onesie because it’s effortless, comfortable, and oh-so-flattering. Free People Movement’s Good Karma Onesie is designed with yoga in mind—it’s lightweight, breathable, and moves with you through any pose. I love the open-back design that looks stylish for yoga, running errands, and daily wear. 

Athleta Saysh Slide

View On Gap.com

Traveling to and from a yoga class has never been more comfortable thanks to Athleta’s Saysh Slides—my new go-to, everyday shoes. In most yoga classes you practice barefoot, so wearing sneakers and socks just to have to take them off at the studio can be annoying. That’s why I love these slides. Plus, they’re insanely comfortable—it feels like walking on clouds. The yogis in your life, or anyone for that matter, will absolutely love these slides from Athleta.

Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon

View On Ouraring.com

A top-quality fitness tracker can make a great gift for any yoga enthusiast, wellness-obsessed, or health-conscious individual. But the Oura Ring Gen 3 is far more than a fitness tracker—it may be one of the best investments I’ve made for my overall wellness. This tech wearable provides you with daily activity, readiness, and sleep scores, as well as personalized insights and recommendations on how to best tackle your day. I also use it to track my menstrual cycle, which has made such a positive impact on my life. 

Any yogi is invested in their overall health and wellness, so if you have the budget to splurge on your loved one, this is the perfect gift.

Ouai Body Créme

View On Amazon $38 View On Theouai.com View On Sephora $38

One of my favorite ways to take care of myself, besides practicing yoga, is having self-care days. That means dry brushing, doing a face mask, taking a long steamy shower, and finishing with a luxe body cream. OUAI’s Body Creme makes the perfect gift because it’s rich, hydrating, and smells delicious. Pair this with a yoga mat, activewear set, or silk scrunches for the ultimate yoga-inspired gift.

Briogeo Scalp Revival Detox Spray

View On Amazon $23 View On Sephora $26 View On Briogeohair.com

I practice hot yoga three to four times per week, and I teach about two to three classes per week—which means a whole lot of dry shampoo to preserve my post-shower blowouts. But dry shampoo can cause a lot of unwanted buildup on the scalp, which is why I love Brigeo’s Scalp Revival Charcoal + Tea Tree Buildup Detox Spray. If your loved one is anything like me—dry-shampoo obsessed—then this is the perfect gift for them.

Owala FreeSip Water Bottle

View On Amazon $32 View On Walmart $33 View On REI $33

Every yogi needs a high-quality insulated water bottle to promote hydration before, during, and after their practice. I love Owala’s FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle because it’s leak-proof, keeps my water cold for hours (even in a 96-degree heated studio), and has a carry handle for easy portability. I also love that it lets you drink in two different ways: you can sip through the straw or tilt the bottle back to drink through the spout opening—this also makes it great for gift-giving as it appeals to all types of drinkers.

Intelligent Change Inc. The Five Minute Journal

View On Amazon $29 View On Target $29 View On Intelligentchange.com $29

Many yogis incorporate journaling as a part of their daily mindfulness routine, making this pick a thoughtful gift for your loved ones. I’ve been journaling for the last five years and Intelligent Change’s Five Minute Journal is the book I always fall back on. It offers daily quotes, gratitude prompts, and reflection pages that help me practice self-care every day. Give the gift of mindfulness with this inspiring, aesthetically pleasing journal.

Alo Moves Gift Box

View On Amazon $80 View On Aloyoga.com $129 View On Alomoves.com

The Alo Moves Membership allows your loved one to get the classes they want for an entire year–all from the comfort of their own home. This gorgeous box comes with a membership card and a booklet that gives your favorite yogi all the details. While yoga is the focus of the subscription, your yogi will also have access to standard workout and meditation classes with top-notch professional instructors. 

I use Alo Moves all the time to learn new yoga flows, practice Pilates, and meditate. Even if your yogi already has a studio they love nearby, the Alo Moves box is a fantastic way to give them the support they need to access yoga whenever they want to get moving.

LifePro RejuvaWrap Infrared Sauna Blanket

View On Amazon $401 View On Lifeprofitness.com $375

There are many physical and mental health benefits of infrared saunas, but gifting a huge, expensive unit is likely not in the cards. That’s why I love LifePro’s RejuvaWrap Infrared Sauna Blanket: I find that it delivers similar benefits to a regular infrared sauna at a much lower cost. This one’s a great gift because it’s one of those products that someone may not purchase for themselves. Plus, it’s easy to use and small-space friendly, making it even better for gift-giving to your wellness-obsessed yogi.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

View On Amazon $189 View On Walmart $280 View On Verizon

Most recipients would be thrilled to receive a quality pair of headphones—it’s a generous and practical gift. But yogis specifically need a pair that won’t fall out mid-flow, whether they're in a fundamental Downward Facing Dog or tricky inverted pose. When I’m flowing at home, my Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) are my go-tos because they're secure, the sound quality is exceptional, and I love the noise cancellation feature to help me focus in on my practice.

Gaiam Yoga Socks

View On Amazon View On Walmart View On Target $14

If you’re on a budget, a pair of grippy socks is always a great choice. I’ve worn Gaiam’s Yoga Socks many times during non-heated flows and appreciate how grippy yet comfy they are. I also love the adorable ballet-inspired design that also helps the socks stay on my feet. This would make a great gift on its own or as part of a yoga-inspired gift basket.

lululemon Yoga Mat Towel

View On Lululemon $64

If your yogi frequents heated yoga classes, gifting them a mat towel will always be well-received. I’ve been through several mat towels that slip around, don’t absorb sweat, and feel uncomfortable on the skin. But lululemon’s Yoga Mat Towel is quite the opposite—it's comfortable and stays in place no matter how sweaty I get. Couple this with a high-quality yoga mat and you’ll have the perfect yoga-inspired gift.

Crop Shop Boutique Serenity Leggings

View On Shopcsb.com

I’ve tested dozens of leggings for working out, from popular brands like lululemon, Athleta, Beyond Yoga, Alo Yoga, and more. And while many of my most-used pairs are from those major activewear brands, I’ve recently found a new favorite—Crop Shop Boutique’s Serenity Leggings. They are supportive, flattering, and oh-so-comfortable. I love that the waistband is high-rise and that there’s no front seam, among many other things. Plus, they come in so many beautiful colors so you can find the right one to fit your giftee's personal style. I would gift this with the matching Serenity Sierra Crop for a sleek set. 

Alo Yoga Airlift Intrique Sports Bra

View On Aloyoga.com $51

A sports bra that’s comfortable, cute, and supportive is essential for any type of workout. I practically live in Alo Yoga’s Airlift Intrique Sports Bra—for yoga, Pilates, walking, and casual wear. It’s flattering, supportive, and wicks away sweat during my 60-minute 96-degree heated yoga classes. I would gift this with Alo’s Airlift Energy Short or High-Waist Airlift Leggings for the perfect activewear set that any yogi will love.

Free People Movement Never Better Biker Shorts

View On Freepeople.com $48

If you want to gift bike shorts, there’s no better pair than Free People Movement’s Never Better Biker Shorts. They are silky smooth, flattering, and supportive in all the right places. Plus, they come in three neutral colors, so you can’t go wrong when gifting these shorts to any yogi in your life. For a chic set, pair it with Free People Movement’s Never Better Square Neck Bra. 

Sunday Citizen Crystal Bolster Pillow

View On Sundaycitizen.co

A bolster is one of the best yoga props because it can support and deepen a practice. I use it to elevate my hips in seated poses and support my lower back when I’m lying down. I also use it as a pillow to meditate on every single morning. But what makes this bolster so special is that it’s filled with amethyst and clear quartz and wrapped in the coziest fabric. I think this makes a great gift for yogis, wellness enthusiasts, or even a friend looking to get started with meditation.

Canopy Canopy Humidifier

View On Amazon $150 View On Getcanopy.co

As a yogi, I prioritize my health and wellness daily, and products like Canopy’s Bedside Humidifier help. It works to hydrate my room while also doubling as an aromatherapy diffuser, which I especially love to set the vibe for yoga flows and meditation sessions. If your giftee is anything like me—a wellness-obsessed yogi—this gift will be very well received.

Hohm Vessel Diffuser

View On Amazon $69 View On Target $70 View On Welcomehohm.com

If want to gift a traditional (yet elevated) essential oil diffuser, there's no better option than Hohm's Vessel Diffuser. It's discreet yet stylish enough for any space, making it the perfect choice for gift-giving. Plus, it's so easy to use and maintain. Gift this, along with some essential oils, to help your yogi create a zen space for practicing and relaxing.

OmniLux LED Contour Face Mask

View On Omniluxled.com $395

Gift the gift of great skin and self-care with this LED face mask. I use this mask every day as a part of my morning routine while I meditate right when I wake up. In just 10 minutes, I feel energized, rejuvenated, and centered. True to the brand's promise, after four weeks of consistent use, I noticed reduced redness and increased glow in my skin. This thoughtful gift is sure to be appreciated by anyone, whether they're a dedicated yogi or not.
