LEARN + CREATE + MEDITATE

Malas are not just trendy pieces of jewelry; they are used as a tool to help the mind focus during meditation, and the simple, repetitive act of making your own mala becomes a meditative experience as well.

Baja Malas is on the road coming to Desert Yoga Shala in Palm Desert, California for the first time! Please join us for this meaningful experience to create a personal mālā with your intentions and energy infused into each bead and knot. We will begin with learning a bit about the history & significance of meditation malas, then hand knot our 108 beads together.

You will leave with a personally charged, tangible reminder of your prayers and intentions to carry with you. A mala necklace makes a wonderful, personal gift for someone special, too. Everyone is welcome. Yogis & non-yogi’s alike. We keep the energy light and the learning simple so that everyone feels welcome.

For this workshop, you will have your choice of several different beautiful beads: Aromatic Golden Sandalwood, Madagascar Rose Quartz, & White Turquoise. (Pictures below)

Golden Aromatic Sandalwood. This lightweight authentic wood bead possesses a light woodsy scent, that when it fades over time, makes for the perfect essential oil carrier.

Madagascar Lavender Rose Quartz: the universal stone of LOVE, this exquisite rose quartz contains beautiful tones of rose & lavender. (natural, semi-precious gemstone)

White Turquoise: with interesting variating veins of gray and tan tones, this neutral stone represents the most spiritual of all colors compliment any outfit.

Cost: $108 per person; includes group & individual instruction, & all materials. Pre-registration required.
