Poor boys. While ladies have every color of the rainbow to choose from in their yoga gear closet, you have the color palette of the 70's - Rust, olive and some wacky shades of burnt orange or maroon. It seems like no matter what you're looking for in blocks, mats, straps or bags, they all have female flair. Right? Wrong.
More and more boutiques and yoga gear creators are keeping the male in mind. Not just for colors, but for function. So whether you're shopping for the male yogi in your life or conducting your own self-shop, check out these just-for-men product profiles right here on the web.
