Yogi Holiday Gift Guide 2022
TOP 9 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE- YOGI STYLE
It’s your favorite nurse yogi, Lesline, and if you’re anything like me and you panic at buying your yogi friend a gift, I got you.
These are my top 9 favorite gifts that I’ve bought myself that have made my wellness journey so good. And will be perfect for your favorite yogi.
Also if you are new to yoga, or your friend is new to yoga or starting their wellness journey these are the perfect gifts to gift them this holiday season.
the modern fanny pack. I love using my Flex I Bag on my mid-day walks. As a yogi I like to live minimal in some aspects of my life, and purchasing this bag has helped me focus on what I actually need when I take those mid-day walks or when I’m running errands with my kids.
Also! The founder of Flex-N-Fly is a Black Woman named Youmie Jean Francois and she is a beautiful soul. Go check her out.
This is not false advertisement y’all. It really is unseen. When you squeeze it out of the bottle it is clear and as you rub it in you forget that you even put it on. I double up because it is so light! Every morning I put my sun screen on like clock work and this is my go to sunscreen. Especially living in Florida, the Sunshine State it is mandatory to wear sunscreen. But hey, don’t think just because you don’t live in Florida that you are excused from sunscreen. WRONG! EVERYONE I repeat everyone needs sunscreen, no matter where you live. Wearing sunscreen prevents skin cancer. And don’t think just because it is Winter that you are excused. Wrong again! Sunscreen needs to be applied all year ‘round. Even if you are sitting inside working from home. PUT YOUR SUNSCREEN ON.
These are my go to sandals for my mid day walks. They are super light and make walking an enjoyable experience. As a yogi I like to get my movement in a variety of ways, so not only do I stretch but I also walk art least 30 minutes Monday-Friday (during the week is the most convenient time for me to get my movement in because my kids are in school)
Yoga blocks help make your yoga practice more relaxing and enjoyable. One of my mentors, Angie, founder of Afro Yoga created these Cork Yoga Blocks and I had to buy 1 from her. These blocks are way sturdier than the foam blocks you may see in the gym or yoga studios. They have additional support which makes me feel more safe in my yoga practice.
If you are new to yoga I highly encourage you to buy at least 1 one yoga block. Here is a yoga class where I show you how to use that yoga block.
5. Yoga Mat
Every yogi needs a reliable yoga mat, Angie’s Ma’at yoga mat is reliable AND you can throw it in the washing machine. Like whatttt! It is a travel yoga mat meaning you can fold it up and put it in your carry on bag making is also very convenient.
Therapy transformed and saved my life. I’ve had a couple mental health scares and if it was not for my therapist I would not be here with you today. So when I say I’m an advocate I mean it. Which leads me to My Therapy Cards created by Dr. Ebony, a licensed psychologist who has Black Woman at the front of mind. She is a Black Woman herself and again, did I say she’s LICENSED so she knows what she is talking about when it comes to mental health for Black Women.
My Therapy Cards are cards that you can use to help you dive deep into your mental health journey in between your therapy sessions or can be used if you are not able to afford a therapist. Each card has a question that you can answer either by journaling or in your notes app on your phone. The choice is yours.
(If you are currently going through a mental health crisis please call 988 at this time.)
I like to buy a new water bottle every 3-6 months, but let’s be real, whenever I get bored! HAHA.
This water bottle is an Iron Flask and I absolutely love it because it fits in my cup holder in my truck. I had a previous galloon water bottle that did not fit, obviously in my cup holder and it needed its own seat. So annoying! I decided I needed something more sleek and opted in to purchasing the Iron Flask. I am so happy I purchased this water bottle. When you purchase you receive a couple of lips and straws so you can even change up how you drink your water.
I love options!
As a yogi I am all about setting the mood before I meditate or do my stretches. One way I do that is with essential oils. My favorite essential oil smell is Eucalyptus. I love using this oil to start my day. It wakes me up and allows me to tackle my day ahead.
9. Diffuser
And of course you need a diffuser to drop your oils in. This one that is linked is actually my husband’s! He bought it himself and I loved it so much that I stole it from him- HAHAH! I really like this diffuser because of the style and shape. It’s like modular but modern. Just go with it y'all. I’m not an interior decorator- LOL.
