Best (Christmas) Gift Ideas for Yogis: 10 Perfect Picks for Yoga Lovers

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect Christmas gift for the yogi in your life (or yourself, because you deserve it), I’ve got you covered! Whether they’re flowing through vinyasa, want to start a yoga practice, or just enjoying a cozy savasana, this list has something for every yoga-loving soul. From practical gear to little luxuries, here are 10 Christmas gift ideas for yogis that are sure to delight.

1. A Yoga Mat That Feels Like Magic

The right yoga mat makes all the difference, and the Mountain Magic Nomad Cork Yoga Mat checks all the boxes. It’s sustainable, naturally grippy (no slipping in Downward Dog), and designed to support you during the sweatiest flows. Plus, cork mats are antimicrobial, which is a fancy way of saying less stinky mat.

This is the mat I have practiced with daily for years and it’s light enough that I bring it with me when I travel – from Europe, to Mexico.


2. Yoga Pants That Go Beyond the Mat

A good pair of yoga pants is basically a yogi’s uniform. There are endless options here, but I always try to find companies that have sustainability and ethical practices as part of their business plan. That does rule out some of the big names in the space, but there are some great options that you will find.

My latest find is Paragon, who is using eco-friendly dyes in their products. The Radiate collection was my first purchase over Black Friday and I have been so impressed with how buttery soft the fabric is (and just the right amount of booty scrunch).

Bonus tip: I wear yoga pants as my base layers on the mountain when I’m snowboarding. Multipurpose gear = winning.


3. A Cozy Layer for Cold Days

Nothing says self-care like wrapping up in a soft, cozy layer before AND after yoga practice. Look for something stylish and comfy, like a soft and warm turtleneck, oversized cardigan, or comfy sweatshirt. It’s perfect for lounging, layering post-practice, or sipping hot cocoa while you journal.


4. A Yoga Wheel for New Possibilities

A yoga wheel is a fun and versatile prop that can take your yoga practice to the next level. It helps improve flexibility, deepen backbends, and strengthen your core. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned yogi, it opens up so many possibilities for movement and stretching. I have this one from Yoloha, but there are a ton of options to fit every budget here.


5. Unlimited Yoga Classes at Home (The Gift of Movement)

What’s better than a one-time gift? A gift that keeps giving. Treat your favorite yogi (or yourself!) to unlimited online yoga with a membership to The FITaspire Studio. From vinyasa and rocket yoga to restorative flows, they’ll get access to a library of classes and the tools to stay consistent all year long. Movement = happiness.

You can choose from month-to-month memberships or save 20% with a 3-month subscription.


6. A Stylish Yoga Mat Bag

Carrying your mat should be easy and stylish, so why not gift a yoga mat bag that does both? Look for a design that has room to carry your mat, a water bottle, that cozy layer in the winter. I use mine as my airplane carry-on, making it easy to bring yoga with you on the road.

Bonus points if it’s made from eco-friendly materials, like the cork tote bag from Yoloha (yep, this is the one I use!).


7. The Ultimate Beginner Yoga Program

If you know someone who’s just starting their yoga journey, Yoga Basics in a Box is the perfect gift. This step-by-step program helps new yogis build confidence, learn foundational poses, and develop a consistent practice. It’s like having a supportive guide on the mat, making yoga accessible and fun for every beginner.

And it’s designed to fit into a busy schedule, with short tutorials and classes to help them finally feel comfortable on their mat.


8. A Clean Candle to Set the Mood

Setting the right mood can make yoga just a little bit more special. A clean-burning candle (think soy or beeswax) with calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus makes a perfect gift for any yogi. Light it during practice, meditation, or a peaceful savasana for instant bliss. I have been using Siblings for the last few years for candles in my home & they have some amazing yoga-ish scents, like No 15 — Black Amber, Nosy Be Ylang, Birch Sap.


9. An Inspiring Yoga Book

If they’re looking to expand their yoga knowledge, I recommend yoga book on the philosophy of yoga or diving into a yoga style, like Rocket Yoga. It’s an inspiring and challenging yoga style that blends strength and flexibility with fun sequences. Books are perfect for yogis who love learning about the deeper layers of the practice.


10. A Yoga Bolster for Restorative Bliss

Every yogi deserves a little extra support—literally. A yoga bolster is a must-have for restorative yoga, deep stretches, and total relaxation. Trust me, gifting one of these is basically the equivalent of gifting an hour-long hug. This goes perfectly with your online yoga studio membership, so you can take full advantage of all the restorative yoga you want!
