The Mexicali woven yoga mat bag features colorful, exotic woven stripes, a drawstring closure, and a handy strap for carrying your yoga mat over your shoulder in comfort & bohemian style!

Thai Fisherman Pants

We love these Thai fisherman pants for yoga because they are soft, lightweight, and easily adjustable for the perfect custom fit! Inspired by traditional Thai pants, these tie-waist fisherman wrap pants are perfect yoga pants for men and women. Each pair is fully adjustable to fit a wide range of body shapes and sizes, and comes packaged in a reusable cloth pouch with instructions on how they are traditionally worn. Available in a variety of colors, these make a wonderful gift yourself or the yogi in your life!

Sun Salutation Mexicali retro tee shirt

A comfy yoga top is key to focused practice; you don't want to be distracted by a too tight shirt that keeps riding up, or scratchy fabric! This Mexicali Sun Salutation tee is just one example of the many soft cotton shirts for men and women that are just perfect for yoga. This super soft cotton shirt is pigment dyed, giving it a nice worn-in look, and has a Mexicali Blues logo on the back. Perfect for wearing during your morning yoga session, while showing off your Mexicali love!

1. Batik Yoga Flags, 2. Hand Carved Ohm Symbol, 3. Abhaya Mudra Buddha Throw, 4. Traditional Tibetan Prayer Flags

Create the zen decor of your dreams with any combination of our awesome exotic elements from around the world! Use an ohm wall hanging or weeping yogi sculpture as a meditation object, let the good vibes flow freely across our prayer flags, or bring more senses into your yoga or meditation practice with our Tibetan singing bowls or bell and dorge sets.

We love yoga here at Mexicali Blues, and if you or someone you love does as well, you can be sure that we've got the gifts to impress and inspire your yogi this Holiday season and beyond!
