Malas are sacred (not accessories). 

 

I began offering mala workshops years ago in 2014, with an intention to educate on the origins and intended use of malas with reverence and respect.

​

A mala is  not jewelry, it's a tool for meditation. They are part of an evolving spiritual practice of nearly 3000-years, used to support meditation & the recitation of mantras.

​

As malas have become popularized in the West, so has the idea that just wearing a mala makes one more spiritual. This simply is not true! And as a result, malas have become very dislocated from their cultural origins and their meaning and method is sometimes lost. 

​

This is why I have cultivated Design Create Meditate - 12 videos & a workbook to empower you with knowledge of the history, symbolism, & meditative function of malas. We will also have a lot of fun exploring mantras, chakras, crystals & more.

​

Making malas and using them to support my meditation practice has been a beautiful part of my yoga journey. But I honour that these tools are not ​​of my lineage and my work with malas seeks to share their transformative potential with yoga students who want to learn more about their heritage and proper use with reverence and respect.

The Mala Kits

​

Yes, you can purchase pre-made malas in shops and online. However, by creating your own mala, choosing the stones from what resonates with you, you honour your unique path.  Additionally as a companion to this course, I have also created several kits that contain the materials you need to complete your mala, if you prefer to go that route. 

 

Materials | All of the beads featured in these kits are sourced directly from a female entrepreneur in Nepal. ​
