Basic yoga has served me well at all stages of my life. It got me really flexible when I was young and was a great counterbalance to cardio fitness classes. While I was pregnant, yoga helped me relax and quiet my mind. Then, when I was deep into parenting, I'd sneak off to yoga class on weekend mornings to stretch and work out the kinks from lifting and carting kids and their gear.

I like that yoga is an exercise that's adaptable for all ages, and beneficial for all ages, too. In 2023, researchers at UCLA presented a study on women in their 60s with vascular risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease, and found that yoga can boost brainpower. But tiny kids can benefit, too: A 2023 study funded in part from the University of Nebraska Medical Center showed that yoga helped preschoolers self-regulate — a.k.a. behave themselves.

This is all to say that if there's someone in your life of any age who loves yoga for its physical and mental benefits, we have some great yoga gifts that honor their healthy habit.

Top gifts for yoga lover:

Many gifts on this list has been tested and approved by the experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute. While the apparel items lean toward grown women's clothing, yoga is for any gender, as well as any age, so you'll see many neutral options.

Lululemon makes this one perfectly sized for a yoga mat, with corner pockets and an elastic strap to anchor the towel and hold it in place.

During yoga, you can fold a falsa blanket and sit on it to boost a lotus pose (that's the criss-cross-applesauce position), or cover up with it to stay warm during the Savasana rest pose (that's the mini nap at the end).
