Women now have the perfect Christmas present for their friends who love practicing their favourite poses in bamboo yoga wear: The Yoga Dogs Calendar.

The calendar shows popular dog breeds positioned in classic yoga postures with the help of digital technology.

Texan couple Dan and Alejandra Borris came up with the 2010 calendar, which includes pictures of a Standard Poodle in the tree pose, a Golden Retriever mastering the warrior II and a Pug holding the lotus pose.

If the calendar fails to motivate women to roll out their yoga mats then Grazia's Catherine Nieto recommends investing in nice women's fitness clothing.

The weekly glossy's junior fashion editor advised women to base their ladies yoga wear around three or four colours to ensure coordinating without looking too "matchy-matchy".

She said a Grazia favourite was to mix dark pink with grey, black and deep purple, striking a balance between tight fitting and loose pieces, so you feel relaxed but can still see the outline of your body - which she said is essential for perfecting yoga moves. ADNFCR-2569-ID-19426683-ADNFCR
