Dads—they are hard workers, disciplinarians, financiers and personal heroes. They work long hours, deal with demanding wives and put up with (and love) screaming, back-talking children. So this Fathers Day put away the necktie, golf balls and framed picture of yourself and give Dad what he’s really been craving—freedom from chaos, a calm mind and a toned body on top.

Manduka—purveyor of premium yoga gear—has Dad covered on his path to peace with gifts that improve flexibility, strength, balance, breath awareness, injury reduction and focus—not to mention charge up their sex drive (ok, maybe that was more for husbands than dads, but you get the picture).
