The purpose of the Global Mala is to unite the global yoga community from every continent, school or approach to form a "mala around the earth" through collective practices based upon the sacred cycle of 108 on Sept. 19th or 20th, Fall Equinox as the yoga world's offering to further the UN International Peace Day.

The Global Mala event is dedicated to practice or to practice and seva - service by integrating local action, and raising funds for charities. Shakti Vinyasa Yoga will be donating all proceeds to one global cause, Trees for the Future, and one local cause, Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Puget Sound.

Since 1989, Trees for the Future has been helping communities around the world plant trees. Through seed distribution, agroforestry training, and our country programs, they have empowered rural groups to restore tree cover to their lands. Planting trees protects the environment and helps to preserve traditional livelihoods and cultures for generations. Learn more...
