A gift for your yoga fanatic friend

Summer holidays don’t mean lazing on a beach or sipping cocktails by the pool for everyone. Like the rich and famous, more and more of us are using our downtime to de-stress and relax on yoga retreats.

The great thing is you can travel light. No heavy golf clubs or cumbersome easel to pack. The kit is minimal but whether you’re down the gym or doing a whole week, it has to be just right or you simply won’t fit in. These are our top gifts for your girlfriend off in search of some inner calm.

Whether she’s into pilates or yoga, the most important piece for your flexible friend is her mat.

This stylish mat from Holistic Silk (pictured left) is filled with lavender to enhance the sensory experience and ensure a deep relaxed state.

If her yoga mat doesn’t have handles then she’ll need the latest in yoga mat bags.

This smart bag (pictured right) from Sweaty Betty (where you’ll find a whole host of other ideas too) has a water bottle carrier and plenty of room for a towel and any other essentials she can’t do without.

Even though looking the part isn’t as vital as it is on the ski slopes, yoga bunnies still prefer all the latest gear.

This fab grey Yogista T shirt (pictured left) from well-being company Wellicous is designed specifically for stretching with its extra long length.

And if you’re feeling extra generous, then why not team the T with this funky headband (pictured right) that stays in place in the most extreme positions! Another winner from Sweaty Betty!

Finally if your pilates pal wants to take it to the next level, then this eco yoga strap (pictured left) could be just thing.

The heavy-duty buckle stays in place during the most challenging of stretches, enabling you to increase your flexibility and strength safely. Made of organic undyed cotton it will withstand even the most strenuous week away!
