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 simply repetitive act of making your own mala becomes a meditative art experience as well.

Baja Malas is on the road coming to Rouse Yoga Studio in Los Angeles, 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.

We will be using beads inspired by the town of Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, Mexico: aqua terra jasper, semi-precious gemstones. Aqua Terra Jasper, also known as impression jasper or sea sediment jasper means Water-Earth, and is a wonderful stone for helping one find inner peace, clarity, love and compassion. Like all jaspers, It is an excellent stone for emotional healing, as it provides protection, absorbs negative energy, balances yin and yang and aligns the physical, emotional and mental bodies.

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.

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