Global Mala



Each year in September a wonderful tradition takes place.  "The Global Yoga Mala peace project was dreamed up by world-renowned yogi Shiva Rea in 2009 as a way for the international yoga community to mark the United Nations International Day of Peace. Each September around the time of the Spring / Autumn equinox, yogis around the world celebrate and promote world peace with108 sun salutations." 

Since its inception it has evolved into a day of reflection and offering with many variations on the sun salutation theme.  Yoga practitioners come together to practice in groups, solo, 108 sun salutations or 108 minutes of yoga.  Many groups donate money to local organizations others recognize a day of peace or give a personal offering to someone in need.  Today I offer my practice to my oldest sister who transitioned from this life Friday night.  Peace to you my sister and all others.
