Here we are!…where are we? It’s the holiday season so whoop-de-doo and yoga-de-dock, we have more gift ideas for you than mat-grippy socks. This year we’ve broken down our holiday gift guide into categories for ease of perusing, and each item has descriptive hashtags with highlights about that particular potential gift. We think we did a pretty bang up job of finding some cool, useful, eco-friendly and universally-approved gifts, but we’d love to hear about your favorite gifts present, past or future. Feel free to share in the comments.

The bonus is you can try out different useful products or snacks you might not have purchased on your own. As a gift, it’s always nice to receive a box of goodies in the mail.
A few options are:

– Online webinars at Yoga U Online: Continuing education is a great gift for the practitioner and teacher alike. Yoga U has a wide variety of programs, webinars and downloads (many are free!). Yoga For Back Pain: Keys to Preventing and Healing Sacroiliac Instability with Robin Rothenberg scheduled for January sounds like a great place to start.
