They say the best gift is to be in the present moment – but the next best thing has to be a beautiful Yoga King gift pack! So, if you are not sure what to buy the yogi (or non-yogi) in your life, read on for some great ideas…
Choosing Christmas gifts seems to get harder and harder each year – we want to give something meaningful and sustainable that will be cherished. Which is why a yoga prop such as a Zabuton meditation cushion, eye pillow or beautiful yoga mat could be the perfect thing to have under the Christmas tree.
The yogi in your life is sure to need either a new mat, bolster or blanket or perhaps an innovative new product like a Zabuton – a Japanese cushion designed to make sitting or kneeling for long periods during meditation much easier and more comfortable!
And for the non-yogi there is the deluxe Eco Yoga Pack (which includes a natural rubber and jute mat, two cork blocks, a cotton strap, a tote bag, large organic bolster, two thick cotton blankets, an instructional DVD, eye pillow and even incense sticks!). This pack – which is on sale – has everything the beginner yogi could need and will finally inspire you to start the new year with a regular meditation practise.
There’s a wide range of high quality, eco-friendly and locally sourced products to browse – or you could call the Yoga King team and personalise your own Christmas gift. Just email them at info@yoga-king.com or call 61732556073
So, what does the typical yogi need to help enhance their practice?
Yoga mat – there’s nothing like unrolling your yoga mat and striking your first pose! A yoga mat is an essential item as it offers traction and comfort while doing your asanas and since Covid it’s far more hygenic to have your own mat rather than rely on borrowing a studio mat.
There are so many mats to choose from and will suit all budgets from the 4mm thick yoga mat for just $19.95 to the grippy natural rubber which is extra-long and wide – so no hands and feet hanging off the edges during your Savasana!
There are eco mats, extra thick mats for more comfort and even organic cotton, plus you can buy a brightly coloured organic yoga tote bag to carry it around.
Yoga blocks – align your body while adding safety and depth to your pose with a yoga block. It’s a good idea to buy two blocks as you can use these props in your active poses such as lunges, twists and in seated positions as well as supporting the body in restorative and yin yoga.
Yoga King has a wide range of blocks from cork to high density foam to extra large and bevel edge for extra comfort.
Yoga bolsters and cushions – are becoming increasingly popular and essential in yin, restorative and relaxation classes. Bolsters and cushions support the body and provide extra depth to the shapes you create. There’s a huge range to suit every size, shape and comfort level at Yoga King from kapok neck pillows to crescent cushions, rectangular bolsters, extra-large soft bolsters and densely filled organic bolsters.
Check out the fabulous yoga accessories from grippy socks to mala beads and a wide variety of top quality yoga DVDs and books.
Yoga gift packs – to make it super easy there are some gift packs already made up – which are on sale – including the Organic Bolster gift pack for $119.95, the Standard Yoga Pack for $219.95 and the Organic Yoga gift pack for $329.95 (mentioned above) along with it Zabuton/Zafu combo pack for $130.
