During this exciting workshop, you will gain insight into the purpose of Mala Beads and learn how to incorporate them into your meditation practice as well as tips for using Malas to relieve anxiety and/or to focus your intent during your yoga practice.
Carrie will begin the workshop with a brief history of Mala Beads and discuss their purpose and structure variations. You will then design and create your very own 27-bead Mala bracelet. After the malas have been constructed, Carrie will guide you through a mantra-based yoga flow and meditation using your new beads.
For this event, Carrie has chosen the following gemstones:
Serpentine - a meditation stone that clears blocked energy
Black Lava Rock - a grounding and stabilizing stone that enhances connection to Mother Earth
All materials are provided for this workshop. Bring your mat and a cushion or bolster is also recommended.
Since participants may have specific intentions or chakras they wish to focus on, a variety of additional gemstones will also be available for purchase. Additional supplies and additional mala kits will also be available for purchase so that you can create malas for a variety of intentions or as meaningful gifts for your dear friends.
