Non-slip mat from Liforme
There’s little more frustrating to a yogi than feeling their hands and feet slipping and sliding during downward-facing dog. Chalk powder can help to reduce slippage but can be messy.
To take the strife out of stretching, treat your favourite yogi to a Liforme Mat. These non-slip wonders come in a range of colours to suit every mood and style. Plus, each mat comes with its own bag, making carrying and storage a breeze.
Festive home mist from True Grace
Create the perfect atmosphere for a yoga practice with a room spray. We particularly love the festive additions from True Grace.
The Manor Christmas room spray is ideal for spritzing before an energising practice. With notes of mandarin and woody cinnamon, this spicy, zesty scent will lift the mood and give an extra pep in any yogi’s step.

Breath by James Nestor
The breath is central to a yoga practice. For those looking to further their study in this area, Breath by James Nestor is an essential read.
Written from his own personal exploration of the breath, science journalist James Nestor reveals the hidden secrets behind the breath and how ancient practices could help us in our modern-day lives.
He outlines the research that shows how simple adjustments to the breath can improve our athletic perfomance and free us from common ailments. Find out more about Breath by James Nestor in his podcast interview with Liz here.
Linen bolster from Yoga Matters
For days when you needs a little bit more support, a bolster could be just the ticket.
These squishy-yet-surprisingly-supportive cushions are ideal for a restorative practice when rest and relaxation is on the agenda.
The beautiful range of bolsters from Yoga Matters make perfect yoga gifts. We’re especially fond of the natural linen version.

Asquith Conquer Cami
We love the Conquer Cami from Asquith London. Its longer length means this top stays put, even through energetic flows. The pretty back design of this cami is worth showing off and, thanks to a hidden in-built bra, you don’t have to worry about unsightly straps obscuring the pattern.
Crafted from a blend of bamboo viscose, organic cotton and Elastane, the material is naturally breathable and sweat-wicking, ensuring optimum comfort throughout practice.
