The Global Mala Yoga for Peace Project
The Global Mala Yoga for Peace Project serves to unite communities on every continent and from every tradition by gathering together with yogic practices based on the sacred cycle of 108, forming a mala of collective consciousness and call to action around the Earth. Join in on September 22nd as the yoga world honors and unites with the UN International Peace Day.
Shiva Rea, yoga teacher and catalyst for the Global Mala Project says, “Yoga is one of the few common denominators for millions of people around the world; together we are creating a circle around the Earth and dedicating our energy to peace.”
Last year, Global Mala events were held in over fifty countries around the world. In Bali, New York, Belgium, Holland, France, Australia, and Canada yogis sponsored charities such as a meditation centre in Ladakh, Northern India, a yoga teaching program for HIV positive women in Rwanda, drought affected children in East Africa, Schools Without Borders worldwide and people with disabilities or illnesses.
We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to practice and play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.
Namaste.
