Five Star Gift Ideas

What a wonderful gift idea for your son! Since he enjoys becoming a certified yoga instructor, there are several gift options that could further support his practice and enhance his experience. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for your son:

1. Yoga Props: Consider gifting him some high-quality yoga props such as a yoga mat, blocks, straps, and bolsters. These props can assist him in his personal practice and also be beneficial when he eventually starts teaching classes.

2. Yoga Apparel: Look for comfortable and stylish yoga clothing that he can wear during his practice or even when teaching classes. Opt for breathable fabrics and stretchable materials that allow for a full range of motion.

3. Yoga Books: Delve into the world of yoga literature and uncover books written by renowned yoga instructors. Choose books that inspire and offer deep insights into yoga philosophy, anatomy, meditation, and sequencing. This will augment his knowledge and help him grow as an instructor.

4. Workshops or Retreats: Enroll him in a yoga workshop or a yoga retreat. These immersive experiences offer the opportunity to learn from experienced instructors, deepen his practice, and connect with a like-minded community. It can be a transformative and inspiring gift that will benefit him as both a practitioner and instructor.

5. Online Yoga Courses: If he is looking to specialize in a particular aspect of yoga, you could gift him an online course or subscription to a platform that offers a wide variety of yoga classes. This will allow him to expand his knowledge, explore different styles of yoga, and refine his teaching skills.

6. Meditation Cushion: A comfortable meditation cushion can be a thoughtful gift for your son. It will provide him with the necessary support during his meditation practice, promote proper posture, and enhance his overall experience.

7. Personalized Yoga Journal: Consider getting him a personalized journal where he can reflect on his yoga journey, document his insights, and create sequences for his future classes. A customized cover or a heartfelt message will make the gift even more special.

8. Yoga Music or Playlists: Curate a thoughtful collection of calming and uplifting yoga music for him to use during his personal practice or in his future classes. Music has the power to create a soothing ambiance and enhance the yoga experience for both practitioners and instructors.

Remember to choose a gift that aligns with your son's specific interests and preferences. By gifting him something related to his passion for yoga, you are not only supporting his journey, but also showing him that you acknowledge and encourage his dedication to becoming a certified yoga instructor.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
