My personal experience with Mala is through the introduction to Ashtanga practice with owner, Kat. This discipline of awareness of breath, movement, and gaze, is always available. Showing up on the yoga mat is not only a place that can bring you into the present moment and allow you to restore from life's daily challenges, but it also uncovers what is off the mat and helps you bring your practice into your every day. This practice has transformed my life.
