  These incense matches are a lovely treat to keep around, especially when doing yoga. Though they look like little matchbooks, cleverly, each matchstick is incense.

  Available in sizes 5 to 11.

• Man On The Moon Incense Holder + Ashtray Set

  Call them “yoga pants,” call them “flared leggings”—either way, these high-waisted Lululemon bottoms will be a welcome change of pace from your friend’s go-to yoga class ensemble of leggings and a crop top. 

  Available in sizes 0 to 20.

• ASUTRA Natural & Organic Yoga Mat Cleaner
