Mala Workshop | Design, Create, Meditate 📿

Join Eva for a beautiful afternoon uncovering the meaning and making of mala beads. 

Malas are Indian garlands or necklaces of 108 beads, used for thousands of years as tactile meditative tools. In this workshop, Eva educates on the origins and intentions of mala beads, and guides you through a practice and process of designing, creating, and meditating with your own unique mala.

We will begin our session together by sharing an all-level yoga practice to connect to our creative energy, before a relaxed discussion of the history, symbolism, and practice of using mala beads. 

We will explore the properties of crystals and different materials, as you begin to design your own mala. All materials will be provided, including thread and beading needles, sacred Indian rudraksha, and a selection of crystals, as well as handmade tassels and accents. 

We will mindfully thread our malas and close together with a mala (japa) meditation practice, consciously breathing or focusing on your mantra or intention. This is a fun and healing workshop that will help you craft a unique reminder of your practice and intentions for 2024.
