Yoga teachers receive a lot of candles. Also a lot of tea. Also a lot of things with lotus flowers on them, and cards that include the word 'namaste,' and crystals whose specific properties are explained in the attached note. These gifts come from a good place and a true affection, and yoga teachers receive them with grace, which is part of the job. If you want to give something that actually lands differently — something that makes them feel seen as a person rather than a category — the move is to step slightly sideways. Think about what they actually use, what makes the work easier, what they haven't bought for themselves. A yoga teacher's practice is constant. The gifts that support it are the ones worth giving.
