With the Holiday Season here you may still be on the look out for fab gifts! Here are 8 items I would recommend and put on my yoga wish list any day.
1. Gift Card / Class pass
This type of gift is always greatly appreciated for everyone from the newbie who wants to give yoga a try to the yoga enthusiast. Don’t worry if you can only purchase a one class drop-in. Yoga enthusiasts know the value of a yoga centre drop-in fee and any donation to our yoga practice is always appreciated 😉 Expect to invest up to $20 for a 90-minute blissful drop-in yoga session.
2. TranquiliT CardiShawl

TranquiliT CardiShawl – This piece of clothing is a staple in my wardrobe and I am hoping to get a new one this Christmas as I have worn mine out! TranquiliT sells beautiful clothing that is ever so soft! I have a few other pieces of their collection and have always worn them to the max!
*editor’s note: It looks like the CardiShawl is no longer available, but check out the TranquiliT CardiWrap
3. The Happiest Tree
The Happiest Tree: A Yoga Story by Uma Krishnaswami | Lee and Low Books
This book is read every session in my preschool classes. Read and learn about Meena as she uses yoga to help her get ready for an upcoming class play she is struggling with.
4. Shanti the Yogi
Shanti the Yogi – Mountain Adventure DVD by Snatam Kaur | image via www.shantitheyogi.com/
I am a true believer that if we are going to teach kids yoga it needs to be lead by experienced and knowledgeable yoga teachers who shine while teaching children. Snatam Kaur does just this. With her beautiful grace and presence this dvd is a great way to introduce yoga to your children at home.
5. MC Yogi
Mantras and worldly insight all done to a great beat! My older kids always ask for “Be The Change” a powerful song about Ghandi (Lyrics). With a hip beat the Sun Salutations fly and the kids stay smiling!
6. Lululemon Everywhere Bag
I have used my lululemon bag as a diaper bag, travel bag, purse, fitness classes and much more! There are always a variety of colours but after 5 years of use my black one still has tons of life left! Black coloured bags won’t look dirty, stained or worn over time with use.
*editor’s note: It looks like the Everywhere Bag is no longer available, but the Happy Hatha Hour Bag seems to be the equivalent replacement product
7. Yoga Mat
Everyone needs a mat to practice on, it’s a place where you celebrate your personal practice. For kids colour can be fun, especially a different colour for each child in your family to ensure everybody has their own place and space to practice.
7. Capital Yoga Publishing Applications iTunes
CYP is the fantastic work of Ottawa yoga teacher, Jamine Ackert. Check out CYP’s great yoga apps by respected yoga teachers. Having the privilege of studying with Jamine at past yoga teacher trainings I am excited to see her classes now available to the world.
