Favorite Yoga Pose: Birds of Paradise

Style Inspiration: I get a lot of my style inspiration from other bloggers, actually! I think it's all about wearing what YOU feel good in, though. On and off the mat :)

1. S'well Water Bottle. These are seriously the best water bottles EVER. They're made of non-toxic stainless steel, they keep your drinks cold for 24 hours/hot for 12, and well, everyone should use reusable water bottles and help the environment out a little!

2. CPY Peace Candle. This sleek gold candle would look pretty anywhere, plus it smells amazing. I especially love the writing on each candle. This one says "Stay patient and calm. Bring light to the dark and understanding to the world." Love.

3. Soybu Dawne Sweater. Now that it's getting chilly in Chicago, you need something to throw over your sweaty yoga clothes! I love how bright this one is, and the open back and loose knit are perfect as you cool down after class.

4. Sweaty Betty Yoga Bag. A practical yoga bag that's also cute! It'll hold everything you need for class, but it's not overwhelmingly huge. (Hey petite ladies!)

5. Tibet Imports Mala Beads. Mala beads are traditionally used for meditation, but they could be gifted to anyone! They're beautiful and hand knotted with natural stones that can help ground the owner with intentions, mantras or prayers.

6. CPY Namaste Beanie. Do I even need to explain this one?! Every yogi needs this hat - especially if you live in Chicago, like me! Plus, it's lined with fleece, so your ears will stay warm no matter how low the temps drop.

Favorite Yoga Pose: Dancer’s Pose

Style Inspiration: My style is very simplistic with a beachy vibe

1. CPY Presence  + Power Candles. Candles will always be my favorite gift to give and receive, especially these CorePower Yoga exclusive candles. Presence is a fresh and fruity smell that reminds us to slow down and surrender to the moment. Power is a lot warmer and stronger to help tap into your inner strength. It doesn’t matter if you gift this to a fellow yogi or to a non-yogi, because the message is surly something everyone could use on and off the mat.

2. House of Alaia Traveller’s Coin Necklace. You can never go wrong with gifting jewelry, especially the traveler’s coin collection from House of Alaia. Each piece is meaningful and inspiring. I love this honeybee one because it represents light, vibrancy, protection and community.

3. Oxbow Designs Namaste Necklace. I absolutely love Oxbow Design pieces because each one is hand stamped, making each piece unique. This one in particular says “namaste.” The simplicity of these designs are perfect for everyday wear and they help remind you to live your light & manifest your dreams. 

4. CPY Warrior Beanie. The perfect winter accessory to gift this year would be the exclusive CorePower Yoga Winter Beanies. I love this Warrior one because it¹s so cute with the little pom-pom, but it also embodies strength and courage. Plus you could gift this beanie to girls and guys because it looks great on everyone! 

5. Tibet Imports Mala Beads. If you have any spiritual friends, I highly recommend gifting a mala. A mala is a set of beads, traditionally used to focus and center oneself during meditation. Each bead many represent a mantra, prayer or intention. These howlite beads are a calming stone and they’re excellent to gift to those who may deal with insomnia. 

6. S’well Water Bottle. I’m loving the S’well bottles because the design is so sleek and it’s perfect to use as an everyday bottle. What¹s really exciting is that the design can keep cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours, which will come handy during a hot yoga session. It’s also designed to keep hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours, which is perfect for hot chocolate on a cold winter night. This is definitely a bottle that can match anyone’s lifestyle.

Favorite Yoga Pose: Supta Baddha Konasana

Style Inspiration: All of our South OC Retail Specialists ‑ how are they just so cute everyday?!

1. OG Sack. Every yogi needs something to carry their clothes and mat in on their way to and from yoga. This bag allows yogis to carry their things over the shoulder or as a backpack, and gives me all the room that I need for all my things!

2. Manduka LIVE ON Mat. A yoga mat is the best thing that you can give someone this season. Inspire their practice and give yoga to others! I like this mat because it’s super tight and easy to tote around — perfect for all styles of yogis.

3. S’well Water Bottle. Hydration is key for yogis in CPY classes. Support healthy habits of your friends and family, as well as the cutest prints all year long!

4. Manduka Mat Renew Spray. This is a fantastic accessory that all yogis need. This spray is an easy way to keep your mats clean and sanitized. It’s available in both full and travel sizes. Bundle with a mat and a mat spray and it’s a perfect gift for anyone!

5. Tibet Imports Mala Beads. One of the first holiday gifts that I gave my husband was a mala necklace. It’s a fun way to individualize presents for loved ones, as you can read what each bead means. Find one that fits your yogi and gift them with their first (or hundredth) mala.

6. YOU ROCK Coffee Mug. Let’s be real— you can never have enough coffee cups. This cup provides a motivational message as you pour your cup of Joe and start your day of right! Perfect for someone who might not have tried yoga yet, and maybe this daily message will build their confidence to get on their mats!

7. CorePower Yoga Trucker Hat. It’s the new craze.  Everyone is loving the new CorePower Yoga branded hats, and I am no exception. This hat allows the biggest fans of CorePower to represent their yoga community all year long and outside of the studio!
