Join Spirit Rising Yoga and Meditation for an experience that is creative, peaceful, and grounding.
Mala beads are traditional tools used in meditation and prayer, each bead representing a mantra, intention, or affirmation. In this class, you will learn how to make a mala and how to use the beads in your meditation practice led by guest instructor, Shawn Archer (she/her), from Gentle Spirit Yoga.
Shawn will supply beads,
gemstones, and other materials needed for everyone who attends to
create one 108-bead mala. If you have a special bead or charm you
would also like to include, feel free to bring that also! Once your
mala has been created, use the remaining time to practice
meditation with your very own custom collection!
