Here’s a list of beautiful body positive gifts to give this holiday season. At the bottom, you’ll also find some freebies, which make powerful gifts, too. By the way, you’ll probably want most of these for yourself. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

E-Courses
I love e-courses. They make meaningful — and often transformative — gifts. I’ve either taken the below courses or heard great things about them.
- Mara’s new course Feed Me and Body Loving Homework. (Or get this e-book.)
- Andrea’s Superhero Photo.

- Marianne’s yoga e-courses.
- Vivienne’s e-courses, which include both community and self-paced classes.
- Samantha’s Fall Back in Love with Your Life.
You can find a variety of classes and workshops at Seek Your Course. (Some might be starting months from now, but you can always make your loved one a gift card or IOU.)
Books + E-books
- Permission to Curve is filled with beautiful instruction and inspiration for practicing yoga and accepting your body. (Anna also just created a 2-disc DVD set for practicing yoga at home.)

Other Ideas
Many of my favorite bloggers also offer amazing freebies on their sites, which you can print out and give to a loved one. Here are a few of them:
- Susannah’s powerful Unraveling Workbook for 2014 and Exploring the Senses.
- Sas’s beautiful The Body Stories.
- Anna’s practical and inspiring yoga modifications and Curvy Yoga manifesto.
Plus, you can compose your loved ones a love letter. Take them out to see a film, art exhibit or show. Give them a spa gift card, or go together. Create your own print with an inspiring quote. Make the print on your computer, handwrite the quote or paint it on a small canvas.
Happy Friday!
