Rolling It Out: 2017 Yoga Holiday Gift Guide

yoga holiday gifts

The holiday season is upon us! Which means it’s time to start shopping.

Gift giving is a beautiful way to show someone that you care about them. As yogis, you have a unique opportunity to give gifts that are not only beautiful, but also ecologically and socially friendly.

Gifts that are responsibly and compassionately made are definitely the way to go! You’ll feel better about your purchase and the person you give this gift to, will feel even better about receiving it.

After all, the path for yogis includes the Yamas, which are moral, ethical, and societal guidelines that should be practiced on all levels: thought, speech, action, and yes, even gift giving.

GIFTS FOR ALL

Product: Harmony Mat, by Jade Yoga

Price: $74.95

Jade Yoga Mats are some of the most sustainable mats on the market. For every product sold, they plant a tree in your honor. And so far Jade has planted more than one million trees!

They also donate to several causes which they call “color causes”, meaning that when you purchase a mat of a certain color, money from that purchase goes toward a corresponding cause.

For example, teal mats raise money for ovarian cancer, pink mats for breast cancer, and saffron mats for autism. As if that wasn’t enough reason to purchase a Jade mat, they also donate yoga mats to worthy causes such as yoga in prisons, shelters, schools, hospitals, and rehab centers. The mat itself is the first natural rubber yoga mat and they are totally environmentally friendly. Best of all, they are slip resistant and that’s a gift any yogi would appreciate!
