What have I learned? You want to create something sacred just for yourself. OR You want to give gifts that are made by you with intention and love.
You’ve seen my Mala creations and now it’s your turn to create your own Mala, complete with your intention or affirmation, your choice of beads, your design. Yay! It’s so rewarding, so fun, and a beautiful time to be with friends for the evening!
Arrive at Mountain Song (My House), pour a glass of kombucha, or a cup of tea and let the fun begin!
You will start by choosing your main mala beads, each kit labeled with the meaning of the gemstones. You may be attracted to color, texture, or the intention itself! Next you’ll choose accent beads and spacers – only if it feels right to you! I will be there to help you with this very fun, sometimes onerous part!
Next up – the stringing of the beads, the tying of the knots, the guru bead and finally the tassel! You will have your individual tray to lay out your beads and can work at your pace. I have a YouTube video for any directions you may need if you don’t get your mala completed. I promise, you can do this! You may even get hooked on it!
During our time together, I’ll talk about a practice with your mala for prayer, affirmations, or meditation. You’ll leave with a printed sheet on caring for, using, and wearing your Mala. We’ll have a short meditation with our mala (no matter where you are in the process).
Leave with a beautiful Mala that you've breathed in the intention to every knot. Experience JOY, knowing that you've met new people, created new things, and had the opportunity to spend an evening in peace & harmony.
This Mala event is limited to 10 fabulous people. Sign up here at Yoga Hive Montana.

What will we be doing and experiencing?
In each Chakra Journey expect a short presentation, an active and dynamic flow that includes asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), mantra & meditation. You will breathe, move and flow – awakening and recognizing your personal energy. You will discover sounds, colors, and essential oils that enhance each Chakra.
1st Chakra – Root | I Am
The yoga practice will guide you through a series of asana (poses) & pranayama (breathing exercises) to balance the root chakra and cultivate grounding with gratitude. When the root chakra, or Muladhara, is out of balance a person can feel anxious, uneasy, fearful, worried and stressed. This can lead to low energy and low immunity and an overall sense of instability. Use the tools of yoga to strengthen and balance to the root chakra, the foundation of all the other chakras. Cultivate self love, stability, and sense of security. You are worthy and deserving. Remind yourself, you are awesome and you are supported! Take good care of yourself so you can take good care of others.
2nd Chakra – Sacral | I Feel
The yoga practice will guide you through a series of asana (poses) & pranayama (breathing exercises) to balance the Sacral Chakra for creativity and emotional stability. You will find awareness for accepting others and new experiences; in letting go and being in the flow. The Sacral Chakra holds the basic needs for sexuality, creativity, intuition, and self-worth. It is also about emotions, friendliness, and confidence. Take good care of yourself so you can be free to connect on a deeper level with yourself and others.
3rd Chakra – Solar | I Do
The yoga practice will guide you through a series of asana (poses) & pranayama (breathing exercises) to balance the Solar Plexus chakra with an energizing yoga flow for willpower and motivation. The third chakra contains raw fiery energy and when it is balanced and healthy it can feed us, teach us and magnify our energy so that we can help others. Connect to your courage, your self-worth, self-esteem, and come in to your personal seat of power. This chakra area is the area where responsibility for serving others emerges. It is important for you to strengthen and balance this chakra if you want to discover and manifest whatever your amazing and unique gifts are for the world!
4th Chakra – Heart | I Love
The yoga practice will guide you through a series of asana (poses) & pranayama (breathing exercises) to balance the Heart Chakra and cultivate love, joy and inner peace. The heart is the physical bridge between the physical world and the mental world. The heart chakra is where the mind and body unite. It is important to strengthen and balance this chakra because it is our center for love, compassion and spirituality. It affects our ability to not only love others but to love ourselves. Ignite this Chakra’s power to live a full and joyful life!
5th Chakra – Throat | I Speak
The yoga practice will guide you through a series of asana (poses) & pranayama (breathing exercises) to balance your energetic and physical body. In this session, we bring focus to the Throat Chakra, an area the body that asks us to find our voice and snuggle up closer to our truth. Connect back to what matters most and discover your own self talk. Let go of what no longer serves in order to make space for your most magnificent self. You are invited to focus on your originality, expressing your authentic voice and using that voice to speak your truth. Allow the story to unfold.
6th Chakra – Third Eye | I See
The yoga practice will guide you through a series of asana (poses) & pranayama (breathing exercises) to allow you to trust your intuition and inner guidance. In this place resides a wisdom that can guide you through difficult moments, this area sees beyond the physical world gifting your with insight. When our Third Eye Chakra is in balance, we can rely on our ability to focus on, and see the big picture. It is also the center for psychic ability and higher intuition. Open up your mind to information beyond the material world and the 5 senses.
7th Chakra – Crown | I Know
The yoga practice will guide you through a series of asana (poses) & pranayama (breathing exercises) to allow you to get in touch with your higher power. Here resides the bliss state we feel in savasana and meditation, it enables us to witness our awareness and this is the seat of our soul. Experience how your mind becomes quiet and your energy expands beyond the boundaries of your physical body.
