This stunning yoga mat shines in a studio or living room, serving as a luxe yet practical gift for the yogi in your life. Its unique microfiber towel top layer becomes grippy when things get steamy, and its natural rubber foundation supports joints for a more comfortable practice. The limited-edition artist design adds that extra bit of extravagance for the holidays. ($92, manduka.com)

Have a friend, sibling, or colleague who lives for hot yoga? Gaiam’s Grippy Yoga Mat Towel is a stellar gift because they can keep it at home, or stow it away in the office for impromptu after-work classes. The microfiber top absorbs sweat, while the no-slip bottom keeps you and the towel in place. We love that it dries in half the time as an ordinary towel, fits the size of most normal-size mats, and provides a barrier if you’re borrowing a mat that isn’t yours. No one wants to put their face where other people’s feet have been sweating. ($34.98, gaiam.com)

The names says it all: This cozy sweatshirt’s relaxed fit makes it easy to layer to and from the yoga studio. The asymmetrical zipper gives it just the right amount of edge, classing up your traditional zip-up—and the plush inner lining makes it irresistible for everyday wear. Available in four dreamy colors: white heather, charcoal heather, black, and maroon. ($118, athleta.gap.com)

Toss these cozy knit joggers on for a laidback ensemble, whether you’re commuting to a yoga class, lounging at home, or running errands. The banded drawstring waistband prevents sliding and tugging during Downward Facing Dog, and the comfy fabric won’t irritate your skin—even when sweaty. ($48, abercrombie.com)

A gorgeous top layer to keep muscles warm as you ease into a yoga routine, GapFit’s Breathe Open-Back Top is an essential. Sweat-wicking material keeps your skin cool (where it’s not exposed), and it’s stretchy and chafe-free so it won’t restrict movement. We love the belt-tie feature at the waist. It’s a flattering, feminine gift any yogi would appreciate. Available in pink, blue, dusk, purple, and black. ($39.95, gap.com)

The Venus Crop Top from Outdoor Voices has such versatility. The high neckline provides some modesty—so you can focus on your flows, not your overflowing bustline. The double-layered front negates the need for cups, so you’ll never have to readjust post-wash. And the longer cropped fit makes it suitable to wear solo or under a tank, tee, or long-sleeve. The V-straps aren’t just for aesthetics, either—they provide a compressive feel so you’re supported through every workout. ($60, outdoorvoices.com)

Simple gifts are often the best. This Corset Unitard from Live the Process doesn’t have mesh paneling or crazy patterns. The yoga staple has seaming down the front—vertical from bust to hip and horizontal across the hips and waist—to create a sleek silhouette. The thin straps won’t interfere with yoga flows, and because it’s one piece there’s no bunching, riding up, or sliding down. The neutral and jewel-tone colorways—black, charcoal, burgundy, navy, and winter navy—also complement a wide range of skin tones. ($198, livetheprocess.com)

Tough enough for hourlong hot yoga sessions (or high-intensity workouts) and stylish enough for everyday jaunts, Tory Sport’s Diagonal-Striped Leggings are a gem for any fitness fiend. Sweat pulls through the fibers, letting air flow through for a light, almost-naked feel. Flatlock seams prevent discomfort during hours of wear, and there’s an interior pocket for small storage. ($38, torysport.com)

This army green neoprene gym tote is the antithesis to shabby work-to-workout carry-alls. You can stow your laptop in a padded sleeve, secure your water bottle in its own protective pocket, and toss your gym clothes in an air-mesh pouch. We love the interior shoe duster to keep your valuables clean and dirty duds or kicks contained, and the stealthy exterior pocket for easy access to your phone. ($155, bandier.com)

For a sports bra, there is such a thing as being strappy and supportive. Sweaty Betty’s Bhakti Padded Yoga Bra keeps everything in place for barre, Pilates, and yoga. It adds the drama that style-focused women will love, with the performance capabilities they need. ($70,sweatybetty.com)
