Shopping for the guys can be hard, but it just got a little easier for those of you with yogis in your life. A lot of yoga products are designed for women, but I’ve searched out some that make great gifts for your yoga man (or yourself!).
1. Extra-Long Premium Yoga Mat by Manduka

These mats are constructed to last much longer than your average, disposable yoga mat, and reduce slippage, which explains their cult following. This extra-long mat is perfect for tall men.
2. Yogitoes Skidless Towel

Guys sweat, sometimes a lot, and this can make for a slippery situation in yoga class. This new “it” yoga accessory promises to reduce slippage on your mat.

4. Chocoveda Chakra Truffle Box

A box of seven chakra-inspired organic, vegan, dark chocolate truffles. Flavors include tangerine, ginger lemongrass, green tea, and pomegranate. Relieve stress, anxiety, and insomnia (courtesy of special Ayurvedic ingredients) while you enjoy delicious chocolate? Yes, please.
5. Stretch: The Unlikely Making of a Yoga Dude

Humor writer Neal Pollack’s chronicle of the transformative effect yoga has had on his life. Don’t worry, it’s still funny.
6. be present Baja Pants
Calf-length pants that easily go from the street to the mat. These are made from “Breathe Weave” fabric, which dries quickly even after a sweaty class.
7. Manduka Mat Sling
Let’s face the facts: Most yoga mat bags are designed for women. They resemble hand bags and come in beautiful silky fabrics. So how’s a guy supposed to get his yoga gear around town? Here’s one option: A stripped-down mat sling with a cool accessory pouch for your what-nots. Problem solved.
8. Prana Momentum Shorts and Pants
A blend of organic cotton with a touch of spandex makes these practice pants form-fitting without being skin tight, which is what I hear the menfolk like. I see a lot of these around the yoga studios.
9. Lululemon Metal Vent Tech Shirt
Guys can Lulu too with this stink-resistant shirt made from wicking fabric. Looks like a classic tee, but is enhanced with the benefits of high tech performance-wear and that special Lulu juju.
