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.

  • 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 BoudoirLaura 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.
