Yoga is far from a superficial occupation. It’s not about what you are wearing, or what you look like, if you’ve got the latest trendy pair of tights, or the most expensive yoga mat.
One of the beauties of yoga is that it’s for everyone. It can be done anytime, anywhere, and without any special equipment necessary – other than your own body and soul.
A true yogi knows that you can stop drop and yoga anywhere, anytime, regardless of what you are wearing, or if you’ve got a fancy mat to step onto.
But, as with any topic of interest, there’s nifty and creative people out there making products that can serve that hobby. And the increasing interest in yoga has inspired a lot of new brands.
A couple of months ago I shared a post on 10 yoga brands and shops you need to know. But yoga gear is ranging a lot further than “just” yoga tights. There’s a whole world of yoga accessories, jewellery, and props out there.
Despite yoga not being about the superficial, what we wear on or off the mat is definitely a way for us to express our personalities and creativity. In essence, we’re extending an expression of our personality by decorating ourselves in clothes, jewellery, and other accessories that appeal to us.
Whether you’re a yoga girl (or guy), here’s 20 yoga accessory shops you’ll love.

Malabella Jewels are yet another mala shop. They sell mala necklaces and bracelets in stunning colors. For those of you who like color coordination, their pieces are all very well matched and tend to stick to one shade of bead per piece of jewelry.
Scarves Chrissy Ink
Chrissy Ink makes absolutely gorgeous scarves or “kimonos”. Each one is printed in bright and bold colors. The designs are symmetric with wings, feathers, flowers and dream catchers. I have the wing dreamcatcher scarf and love it.
