June 18th, 2009 kate What do you normally get your dear ol’ dad for Father’s Day? A tie? Slippers?
It can be difficult to find the perfect present to show your dad how much you appreciate him. If your dad’s a yoga practitioner, I have some gift ideas for you–something that signifies a bond you share.
Here are my humble suggestions for Father’s Day gifts for the yogi dads.
If your dad is already a yoga practitioner, he probably has all the props he needs. So what could be a sweeter gift than a book that reminds him of your common bond? Consider My Daddy is a Pretzel by Baron Baptiste or Real Men Do Yoga by John Capouya.
Better yet, buy him a gift certificate to his local studio. (If you live near by go to his favorite class with him!)
Every yogi needs to soothe his or her aching muscles from time to time. Treat your dad to a massage. His back will thank you!
Does your Dad needs a little motivation to take his yoga to a deeper level? A daily meditation practice can have a profound affect on his practice–and his life! I like this meditation cushion from Prapatti because it’s comfy for meditation and can also be used to give extra height for seated poses.
What did I leave out? Please share your gift ideals in the comment section below. Those of you who actually ARE yogi dads, help us out and tell us what you’d like to get. (For my dad, who is not a yogi, I might have to peruse a fishing blog.)
