Hey it’s Shane Knox from Sage Studio Yoga and Wellness and we are partnering with Lavender Falls to host a Yoga Mala! This Yoga Mala will be by donation with all proceeds going to Harmony House in Springfield.

What’s a Yoga Mala? A mala was traditionally a set of beads. 108 beads to be precise.

Why 108? Because 108 is a sacred number in Hinduism and in the yoga tradition. During a yoga mala we do 108 sun salutations. Broken down into 4 groups of 27.

The motivation for a yoga mala is service in action, with a nominated cause or charity to be supported by the event. It manifests the power of collective action, meditation and intention, as all gather together, united by a passion for yoga and a compassion for people.
