Global Mala: Yoga as Peace in Action

The purpose of the Global Mala Project is to unite the global yoga community from every continent in the world, forming a “mala around the earth” through collective practices based upon the sacred cycle of 108.

On September 21st-23rd, 2007 (Fall Equinox and the United Nations International Day of Peace), yoga studios, teachers and organizations across the globe will create fundraising celebrations… raising funds and awareness for groups working on key issues of the day such as global warming, AIDS, and children refugees of war.
