Self care is all the rage these days and for good reason. Our lives can be so busy and chaotic and if we don't take the time to relax and restore whether it be through meditation or restorative yoga or a spa day, it is possible to burn out or get stuck in a stressed and unhealthy cycle. Below are my favorite gifts for the men and women in your life who need some luscious R & R.
Meditation Pillows
Brentwood Home Crystal Cove Meditation Cushion. I spotted these meditation cushions from Brentwood Home at Yoga Works recently and immediately fell in love.
ABC Home also sells beautifully constructed Meditation sets:
Next Level Yoga Mats
Some time all you need to relax is a little time on the mat. A beautiful yoga mat can make it easier to make practice a habit.
Restorative Props
Props can help deepen your stretches and restorative poses. Here are a few favorites that my clients love:
Teas & Superfoods
Sipping on some calming tea or a super food blend can help get you in the restorative mood.
- Mountain Rose Herb teas
- Spirit Dust® - an adaptogenic blend of uplifting superherbs and supermushrooms that help combat the effects of stress.
Aromatherapy
Relaxing scents like lavender, ylang ylang and jasmine can help get you into a relaxed mood. I love this diffuser and oils from Saje.
Bath & Spa
Taking a bath is one of the best and easiest ways to decompress. I love using natural aromatherapy infused bath salts to help deepen the moment.
Journal
Journaling is a great way to release the tensions of the day.
This spectacular journal from Elena Brower can help you find your inner you.
