Finding that perfect gift for someone can be tricky, especially when they have a specific hobby or passion in their life, like yoga.
Regardless of if you’re shopping for your yoga teacher, or a family member or friend who also teaches yoga here are 10 gift ideas for the yoga teacher in your life.
Gifts for Yoga Teachers this Holiday Season
Yoga Gifts for the Mindful Yoga Teacher
Trust me when I say that this coat is like wearing a fluffy hug wrapped up in a cloud.
It is so soft, cozy, and perfect for going in and out of the studio.
It's also a great layering piece during a restorative or yin practice.
Any teacher who wants to look put together as they run in and out of the studio (without sacrificing comfort) might enjoy this piece.
This brand of essential oils has quickly become one of my personal favorites because of this build your own 6-pack.
There are so many single oils and synergy blends to choose from and you can add extra gifts like diffusers, bath salts, and rollerballs for something extra special.
With this set you can easily put together a custom gift filled with calming scents for your yoga teacher’s studio or their own personal home practice.
Have a teacher in your life that loves meditation?
This buckwheat filled meditation cushion is a favorite of mine because it adds just enough height under the hips to alleviate tension and enhance a meditation practice.
Plus, it is an incredible price for a meditation cushion and doesn't take up a lot of space making it perfect for a home practice, or for sitting on during class.
Yoga Gifts for Him
Shopping for a tall yogi?
I have heard time and time again from my male students (and the tall ladies) that standard yoga mats aren’t long enough for their practice and they need something longer.
The Manduka prolite mat comes in standard and extra long length for yogis of all heights, it’s high in performance, but not as heavy as the signature pro mat, and is 100% latex free for anyone that has allergies. An extra bonus is that all Manduka mats come with a lifetime guarantee, so it’s worth the splurge.
It can be hard to find a great yoga pant for men, but look no further than the in mind pants from Lululemon.
This super soft, but functional jogger is perfect to wear in and out of the studio, or alone during a practice.
Plus, they are moisture wicking so they will keep your yoga teacher cool during heated classes, and are designed for movement.
This lightweight travel mat has been my go to for years.
I first discovered this mat when I went to train in Bali for 5 weeks and I’m still using it.
At $25 this mat will give you a lot of bang for your buck.
It can be rolled up, folded, put in a backpack, or anything you are packing it and only weighs 2.9 pounds.
It is the perfect gift for teachers who lead retreats or like to practice on vacation.

Does your yoga teacher love to make you sweat it out on the mat?
These ankle weights are the perfect gift for the fitness yogi who wants to sneak in a little resistance on the mat, or for when they’re walking in and out of the studio.
They can be used on ankles or wrists and are sleek but effective.
Yoga Gifts for the Reading Yogi
If your yoga teacher loves to read, and learn new skills why not pick them up a copy of these recent releases in yoga, mindfulness and wellness.
- Meditation For The Modern Family ($17)
- Understanding Auras ($15)
- Permission to Rest ($19)
- Stories behind The Poses ($19)
Yoga Gifts for the Home Yoga Teacher
It can be hard to get out of the house when you have kids, and props can clutter a practice space if you don’t have a place to store them.
This simple and homemade shelf has room for your yoga mats, straps, blocks, wheels and anything else that your teacher may need for their home practice and will look good on your wall.
This shelf even comes equipped with strong hooks for extra heavy yoga mats and larger props.
Your Review or Referral (Free)
To be completely honest, this gift might be one of the most thoughtful things that you can give a yoga teacher and might be what they want most of all.
They are working so hard to share the practice of yoga with you, grow their classes and get the word out about their teaching.
Taking the time to leave a review for the business or studio that they work for, giving them a shout out on social media, or referring a new student or client to them is something that you can do which is free, thoughtful, and extremely supportive of what they do.
It tells the teacher in your life that you love their teaching, support what they do and want to help them thrive.
