A few months ago a set of beautiful amethyst malas showed up at our headquarters sent from Mala Kamala, a beautiful little shop in Australia (but they ship worldwide!). I’ve seen malas around the office before and at little boutiques on my many shopping escapades but I guess I never really gave them much thought. In my defense, I didn’t really know much about the yoga/meditation/mindfulness world until I jumped on-board with YBC so I’m still learning new things each and every day, the newest being the meaning and purpose of mala beads.
