Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who is passionate about yoga teacher training, there are a variety of thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that can enhance his practice and show your support for his journey. Consider the following suggestions:

1. Yoga Gear: Gift him with high-quality yoga equipment such as a new mat, blocks, straps, or a bolster. These tools are not only practical but also essential for a successful yoga practice. You can also personalize the items with his name or a motivational quote to add a personal touch.

2. Yoga Books: Help him deepen his knowledge by giving him inspiring and educational yoga books. Consider gifting him classics like "Light on Yoga" by B.K.S. Iyengar or "The Yoga Bible" by Christina Brown. If he is interested in becoming a yoga teacher, books on yoga philosophy, teaching methodologies, and anatomy would also be beneficial.

3. Online Yoga Courses: Allow your son to expand his learning beyond the yoga studio by gifting him online yoga courses or subscriptions. There are numerous platforms that offer comprehensive yoga teacher training programs, allowing him to continue his education at his own pace.

4. Workshops and Retreats: Encourage him to further immerse himself in his practice and connect with other yogis by gifting him a ticket to a yoga workshop or retreat. These experiences provide an opportunity to learn from seasoned instructors, gain new perspectives, and deepen his understanding of yoga.

5. Meditation Tools: Since many yogis incorporate meditation into their practice, consider giving your son meditation tools to enhance his sessions. This can include items such as a meditation cushion, a meditation timer, or a collection of soothing essential oils.

6. Yogi-inspired Jewelry: Inspire your son's journey by gifting him a piece of yoga-inspired jewelry. These can range from bracelets with meaningful symbols like the Om symbol or the lotus flower to malas, which are prayer beads used for meditation and mantra recitation.

7. Yoga Apparel: Yoga clothing that is comfortable, durable, and stylish can make a significant impact on one's practice. Consider gift certificates to his favorite yoga apparel brands or surprise him with clothes that he can wear during his training sessions.

8. Journal and Planner: Help your son stay organized and focused on his path by gifting him a yoga journal or planner. This can be used to track his progress, record insights, set goals, and reflect on his practice.

9. Personalized Yoga Session: If you have some knowledge of yoga and feel comfortable guiding a yoga practice, consider gifting your son a personalized yoga session tailored specifically to his needs and preferences. This personalized touch can create a meaningful and memorable experience for him.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and care behind it. By selecting a gift that aligns with your son's passion for yoga teacher training, you will not only show him your support but also inspire and encourage him on his journey.

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.”
