Shopping for the guys can be hard, but it just got a little easier for those of you with yogis in your life. A lot of yoga products are designed for women, but I've searched out some that make great gifts for your yoga man (or yourself!).

1. Wii Fit

Nintendo's fitness games (which include yoga) for the Wii system are generating a lot of buzz. Your gadget-loving yoga enthusiast will be all over this one.

2. Extra-Long Premium Yoga Mat by Manduka

These mats are constructed to last much longer than your average, disposable yoga mat, and reduce slippage, which explains their cult following. This extra-long mat is perfect for tall men.

3. Yogitoes Skidless Towel

Guys sweat, sometimes a lot, and this can make for a slippery situation in yoga class. This new "it" yoga accessory promises to reduce slippage on your mat.

4. be present Baja Pants

Calf-length pants that easily go from the street to the mat. These are made from "Breathe Weave" fabric, which dries quickly even after a sweaty class.

5. Manly Yoga Mat Bag

Let's face the facts: Most yoga mat bags are designed for women. They resemble hand bags and come in beautiful silky fabrics. So how's a guy supposed to get his yoga gear around town? Here's one option: A basic yoga mat bag (big enough for that extra-long mat) in neutral colors. Problem solved.

6. Prana Momentum Shorts

A blend of organic cotton with a touch of spandex makes these practice shorts form-fitting without being skin tight, which is what I hear the menfolk like. I see a lot of these around the yoga studios.

7. Klean Kanteen Water Bottle

A great stainless steel water bottle. Packing your own water saves money and reduces plastic waste; who can argue with that?

8. Vosges Yoga + Chocolate Chakra Gift Box

Seven "Haute Chocolat" truffles correspond to each of the seven chakras. Did someone say chocolate?

9. Light on Yoga

B.K.S. Iyengar's classic 1966 book is still the gold standard for its encyclopedic illustration of hundreds of yoga poses and many breathing techniques. A must-have for any yoga practitioner's library.
