If you’re doing any shopping for a yoga lover this season, we have some gift ideas they’re sure to love. Whether you’re buying for a beginner or a posing pro we put together our top picks for anyone who makes yoga part of their life.
Half-ToeSox with GripThey may look funny, but these half-toe socks with non-slip soles make the perfect yoga companion (toesox.com, $15). The superior grip allows you to hold and deepen your poses without slipping and the good-for-feet design encourages your toes to spread, triggering muscles in your feet to help them strengthen while also increasing circulation. |

Yoga Travel KitFor the yoga girl on the go we suggest this easy-to-pack travel kit (huggermugger.com, $49) featuring lightweight travel mat (that folds down to roughly the size of a sweater), guide to yoga poses and 20 individually wrapped mat-cleaning wipes. Now she can practice no matter where she goes this winter. |

YogalosophyWant Jennifer Aniston’s ultra-toned body? So do we! So we’ll be borrowing this comprehensive yoga DVD created by Aniston’s trainer from whomever we gift it to (amazon.com, $13). Celebrity yoga and fitness trainer Mandy Ingber creates a unique practice that blends traditional yoga with toning for an effective head-to-toe workout. |

Everything Fits Gym BagGetting to yoga class and back can often mean needing a lot more than just your mat. Give the gift of space with this stylish gym bag made from 100 percent recycled materials (gaiam.com, $60). The chic, roomy bag boasts a vented outside compartment for wet or sweaty gear, easy-to-reach outside pocket for a water bottle, space for a phone and MP3 player and, most important, adjustable bottom straps to hold a yoga mat. |

Plank Luxe Yoga MatWe were instantly intrigued by this unique yoga mat designed to look like a plank of wood (plankdesigns.com, $85). Not only does it look cool – as in no one else in class will likely have one – these mats also have a patented grip layer that’s activated by heat and pressure of hands and feet, making holding yoga poses much easier. |

Yoga Lover Organic GiftTreat your favorite yoga lover to this gorgeous gift set of calming lavender mist and a pretty yoga-inspired bracelet (omaroma.com, $105). The mist can be used any time your yogini needs to center herself or regain a sense of calm. The bracelet, designed by Vanessa Coppes, is made from organic rosewood beads, rhinestones and features the Om symbol – how apropos. |

Sigg Om BottleMake sure she has something to sip after class (or during, if she’s a hot yoga enthusiast) with this cute water bottle (Lululemon.com, $19). The one-liter aluminum bottle is lightweight, easy to carry, conveniently dishwasher safe and appropriately reads “I ? yoga.” |
|
Yogitoes Skidless Mat TowelAnyone prone to the occasional mid-pose slip or who enjoys hot yoga will appreciate this super-absorbent, hygienic layer to place on their yoga mat to prevent slipping (yogitoes.com, $64). The mat-size towel features silicone nubs that allows it stay in place atop your mat, and the absorbent material means sweaty hands are a thing of the past. |
