Yogi's so my yoga Holiday Gift Guide 2017

I have gotten some great feedback on the gifts that I have given
I like to give gifts that I 5 but I also like to make gifts to is not going to be sharing any
homemade gifts in this video
But I will be sharing with you some of my yoga
Favorites that I think will be really great gift givers for people who in your life. Enjoy yoga, maybe your yoga teacher
May be someone who is thinking about starting a yoga practice these are things that I wish that people would have given to me
Because generally I bought most of these things myself
I've accumulated these things over a long period of time but these are things that I think would be excellent gifts for the yoga

I would love to have you so let's get into my yoga Gift Guide. Let's get the obvious out of the way
I have recommended this yoga mat
At least one other time on this channel probably in my yoga favorites video that I did maybe a year ago
I love this yoga, mat. I've had it for so long and I use it very very often. It's literally the only yoga mat
You'll ever need for the rest of your life
I can't imagine this yoga, mat ripping, or I mean, maybe if I brought it to hot yoga
And use that every single day in hot yoga, then I would imagine that it would rip or wear out at all
But it hasn't and I've used it for years ten years
It's a little worn out after years and years practicing very often, but it's still in very good condition
so if you buy someone this yoga mat
You are getting them a yoga mat
Literally for the rest of their life so the yoga mat that I am talking about is the Jade harmony yoga, mat, it is biodegradable
So it's not that
Plastic, what's it called PVC stuff? Which is why?
Doing things to it like keeping it in the trunk of your warm car probably isn't the best idea
It's probably why my yoga mat has lasted for so long because I keep it inside in the house or in the yoga studio
But anyway this yoga, mat is wonderful I could not recommend
It enough it is non-slip, so if your hands and feet get sweaty
It's going to prevent you from slipping out of downward-facing dog or any of the standing poses Jade harmony yoga mat
I could not recommend this yoga
Mat enough and it is a little bit more on the pricey side so it's a luxury kind of gift a gift for somebody who?
Maybe has a not-so-great yoga, mat and is looking to upgrade so I definitely recommend checking this one out
And that's thing that I'm going to talk about is a yoga bolster. I recently
Upgraded my situation over here and bought myself a yoga bolster
I use it and restorative yoga class that I posted on this channel
I will be doing more with it because I
Love it so much
You can use a yoga bolster for a meditation pillow also another great gift to meditation pillow if somebody you know is interested in
Meditation because meditation is often done in a cross-legged position sitting on the ground
But it's way more comfortable to sit on a pillow so a meditation pillow is good
But Co it going back to the bolster the yoga bolster is perfect for an at-home
Restorative yoga class restorative yoga. I am a huge advocate of restorative, yoga
I think practicing it is great for your mental health your overall physical well-being whether it's in a class or at home
It's just a great thing to do and having a bolster is really helpful when you're practicing restorative, yoga
It makes things a lot more comfortable
It makes the poses a lot more kind of luxurious to relax into so yeah a yoga bolster
It would be an amazing gift for anyone looking to have a meditation practice or restorative, yoga
Practice at home the next thing I'm going to mention
I'm kind of going through the yoga props here a yoga block or a set of yoga blocks is
Something also that would be a great gift for somebody who has an at-home yoga practice or even someone who has
private lessons with a yoga teacher
which also would be an excellent gift to get somebody a set of
Yoga private lessons because I know I would love to receive that but a set of good
quality either foam yoga blocks or cork yoga blocks
I have discussed the difference between the two in
One of my multiple yoga props videos that I have on this channel yes
There is a difference besides the difference in materials
There is a difference in point do we use them for and how they affect the body of course yoga blocks are awesome
They're just a little bit heavier so if the person that you're buying for often takes your her his or her
Yoga props around with them, maybe the foam ones would be a better option
They're a lot lighter
And they're still very effective for the standing poses and even for some of the other poses that you might use them for this might
Be a great option to do if you want to do like a set of yoga props, so
yoga blocks and a yoga strap
Which is also an excellent tool for your yoga practice excellent for getting the most out of yoga stretches if you're not quite as
Flexible as you would need to be to reach your feet or to reach your arms and an arm bind or something of that nature
Yoga a yoga, strap is a great thing to have in your yoga props kind of toolkit
So maybe having a set find someone, yoga
blocks and a yoga strap
Together would be an awesome thing to do and if you want to throw in a yoga bolster in there
I think that would be a really great kind of overall big
Generous gift for you to give someone yoga strap yoga blocks are and yoga essential in my opinion
And I think if somebody is looking to practice yoga regularly
It's something that they should have they should be able to practice with them at home
They're just a really great thing to have so those were kind of the yoga essentials
I've mentioned that multiple multiple times in my videos
But now I'm going to get into the more kind of luxury items things that aren't necessities
But they're really nice to have the first thing
I'm going to be talking about is an eye pillow, so this is something that also is often used in restorative, yoga
It's just a mini sandbag kind of and you can put it over your eyes
They come scented so you can get it with lavender. Eye
That's the one that I got the lavender scent has faded because they've had it for so long, but I still use it
Also, you can put it in the microwave and use it on your head kind of if you are having a headache
And you need some just a heating pad on your head a great great relaxation tool
You can use it in
Shavasana during your home practice or even in a studio if you want to bring it along some yoga studios already have them
But it's always great to have your own especially for something that you put on your face or on your eyes
Even the eyes are very sensitive. I don't really like to share I things with strangers so having your own
Eye, pillow is really great. I really enjoyed having my own pillow, and it's just something that is luxurious
That would be an excellent gift for a fellow yogi the next thing. I'm going to be talking about our mala beads I
Haven't bought myself or received mala beads from someone in quite some time
But I do have several strands of mala beads you can get them in the long necklace type
you can get them in a bracelet form you can use them to meditate if you have a mantra or a
affirmation you can recite your affirmations with every bead similar if you're familiar to the rosary obviously, it's
Nondenominational, it's not attached to a religion
you can use it in meditation to affirm something to yourself something that you'd like to ingrain within yourself a
Positive belief or you can just wear it as an accessory because they are really beautiful
I have some really beautiful ones that I enjoy having you can wear them sometimes
People believe that they certain stones bring them a certain energy
I'm not sure that I 100% believe that, but they are still very beautiful to have and they're a great gift
I think for somebody because I don't think that people would often buy things like that
Next I'm going to be talking about something that I mentioned
In my cold remedies video doesn't have to be used as a cold remedy
I use it all the time, so I'm talking about my essential oil diffuser
I have two of them one of them is larger than the other
But obviously the smaller one will run for less time than the larger ones
But you fill it up with water you drop some oils essential oils of your choice into
the water and you just let it run, and it just makes your house smell amazing it creates such a
relaxing atmosphere
I guess depending on the oils you use
so I tend to use more relaxing scents my favorite is lavender and
Using it at night is a really relaxing it helps you to wind down calm down
Lavender is just a very calming and soothing scent so you can get an array of cents
You can get more energizing scent like the citrus oils
I know doTERRA has a lot of interesting combinations of cents that you can choose from the possibilities are endless
If you know this person well that you're buying for or if you're buying for yourself check out
What kind of maybe candles they have in their house but since they prefer?
And then you could go along those lines of choosing which types of oils that you would buy for them along with this gift
But the main thing is the essential oil diffuser, it's not even too expensive
And it's still a really great luxury gift
I think that someone wouldn't
Necessarily buy for themselves my dad brought me mine as a gift so I loved it and then I bought another one so I definitely
Think it's a great gift to get the next thing. I'm going to be talking about is
soy
Candles candles are amazing
I love love love candles
But some of the waxes are not really that healthy for you
and
the soy
Wax is a lot better for the air
Quality and a lot better for you to breathe it in I got something like this as a gift well
It was a set of three soy candles. I think I got it for my birthday last year, and I love these candles
They're petite candles
But the sense that came in this pack are really great lavender is the obvious one that I used up the most
I'm almost done with that candle
It's almost burnt out, but these candles are great toy wax candles are a lot better for you
They're not too pricy
And I think it's a really great gift to give somebody especially somebody
Who likes candles because I love candles who doesn't love candles, so I really hope you enjoyed this gift guide
