5 Gifts of Self-Care for the Holidays

//  by 

I don’t know about you, but my favorite kinds of gifts to receive are experiences, especially if they are stress-relieving and nourishing. Acknowledging my body, mind and spirit is the ultimate gesture of generosity. (Gift certificates for a relaxing massage, or dinner at one of my favorite healthy restaurants so I don’t have to cook, come to mind.) If you’re like me–or know someone on your gift-giving list who is–consider these soothing self-care gifts for the holidays to help alleviate the stresses of day-to-day life.

  1. Private Yoga Sessions are the ultimate body-mind-spirit gift. These sessions are custom-tailored to each students’ specific needs. Whether your loved one is brand-new to yoga; dealing with injuries or health issues; or looking for tools to help with anxiety, depression or stress-relief, a bespoke private yoga session (in-person or online) can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.
  2. If someone you know is craving some peace, quiet and solitude, consider gifting them a Personal Retreat at my beautiful studio sanctuary, The Yoga Room. They can practice yoga, meditate, journal, read, spend time in contemplation or even take a nap! If you’re looking for a health-conscious experience for a group of friends or relatives, a Mini Wellness Retreat is the perfect gift.
  3. Do you want to assist a loved one in creating long-term healthy habits? Enrollment in my upcoming 8-week Online Yoga Course will give them two months of support from me in making yoga a weekly part of their self-care routine.
  4. Looking for a small ‘stocking stuffer’ to show that you care? For someone who needs a little help hitting their daily exercise goal, or who needs to prioritize self-care–but just can’t seem to make it happen–consider my 15-Minute Yoga Videos or Self-Care MasterClass.
  5. If you want to let your recipient pick out a meaningful self-care gift themselves, a gift card is the perfect choice.

Investing in a loved-one’s health and wellness will outlast any materialistic gift. You are essentially offering them the gift of prioritizing themselves, which is something many of us are not always good at–but desperately need to do. Self-care experiences create a space to step away from the noise, chaos and stresses of day-to-day life, and give the receiver a chance to rest and renew.
