Last year when I asked my wife who is also a yoga lover that what yoga related gift did she want from me on her birthday, she jokingly said that she doesn't want any gift but presence.
Since then it has become a funny reminder of holidays and gifts to me. Whenever I'm purchasing any yoga related stuff or gift for someone this joke comes to my mind. Since I practice yoga, I understand extremely well that "gifted experiences" give more happiness in comparison to "gifted materials." Even better, the happiness of experiences lasts forever while happiness of luxuries comes with an expiry date. It doesn't mean that I don't like new gadgets or luxuries, but what I'm trying to say is that I understand properly that which things matter and on which things I should spend my money.
So given below are five of my favorite gifts ideas for yoga students. I hope you and the person to whom you gift both will love these gifts:
- Enrollment in yoga classes. Several ways exist to gift yoga class enrollments. The most obvious one is a gift certificate to any famous local yoga studio. If person whom you want to gift has a favorite yoga teacher, he/she may enjoy a private session with that teacher to work on his/her handstand.
- Gifting online yoga subscriptions. Thanks to the online revolution, today there are so many online yoga subscriptions too that can be gifted easily to anyone. Some of them also offer DVD Subscriptions and Print Magazine subscriptions. A yoga lover would definitely love them.
- Make practicing easier. Does that person whom you want to gift have little kids or pets who don't allow him/her to go to yoga class? Offer him/her the opportunity of doing yoga in a focused and deeper way by taking care of his/her kids for one day.
- Yoga knowledge: What do people obsessed with yoga love to do when they're not practicing yoga? They love to read about yoga. Gift some famous yoga magazines or a new yoga book written by the favorite yoga teacher of that person and you'll end up as besties forever.
- Inspiration: What inspires the person whom you're going to gift? If you can find something different from all the things mentioned above that inspires that particular person then gifting it in someway is also a great idea.
And if all else fails then yoga clothes and yoga props are always there in the market. There are also many other luxuries made especially for yoga that can be gifted. But in my opinion gifts mentioned above will certainly fill the heart of that person with joy.
