Still shopping?

Here are some quick ideas for what to get your yogi friends, and your not-yet-yogi friends who need converting.


And a holiday reminder to all: it's about the love, not the cash you spend!

• A Pranayama breathing app. Ever wished you could take a moment to breathe and not freak out? Well, here you are. Yoga breathing techniques on-the-go. Recently reviewed over at Daily Cup of Yoga.

• Cozy things from Wiksten like this chunky scarf, or these boot socks.

• Red Leaf bar soap for guys. This Etsy shop has the best masculine suds around. Packaging comes in holiday colors, too!

• For those first-row kind of sexy Bikram girls you know: a ruffle bra from Need Supply Co! This looks super comfy, too.

•  A sexy boudoir session from a local Chicago photographer like Couture Boudoir, Laura Meyer or Kara Schultz. Give your man some sexy photos as a surprise!
• Grey bootie shoes from Osborn that make a comfortable and cozy alternative to winter boots.

• A beautiful Le Creuset french oven pan for the foodies you love (and love to invite over for potlucks!) via Cookware.

• A yoga music CD.
• A yoga shirt for your puppy, and a visit to this dog-friendly studio / cafe. I wasn't kidding about the gift ideas for your downward dogs thing! :)

• A gift certificate to your favorite studio so you and your friends can yoga together.
• Some VitaCoco, Ultima Replenisher and Kashi bars for a pre- or post-workout snack that replenishes and rehydrates.

What yogi gifts are on your wish list this year?
