Mala Beads Making and Yoga with your Minis

Want to celebrate Mother's Day this year differently?  Join us this Sunday at Yoga360 for a fun family yoga and mala beads making.  Dads and brothers can come too! 

Yoga Bead Love. Yoga and Mala Beads Making Workshop.

So excited to start 2014 with series of yoga+art workshops to teach. First on the list: ‘YOGA. BEAD. LOVE.’ A Yoga and Mala Beads Making Workshop on February 23, Sunday, 2-4pm. 

Mala Beads have been around for centuries, are not only beautiful, but also an anytime-reminder of the inner quietude and space available to us at all times. Turning the thumb around each bead while reciting a mantra or holding a visualization helps keep count and sustain focus during meditation.

Enjoy an hour of gentle yoga practice followed by a fun, creative workshop. You will choose, string and make your own Mala Beads Bracelet that complement your unique energy system. You can keep it for yourself or give as a gift. Bring a friend and let’s have fun!  All levels welcome.

Contact: Yoga360.  91 Bankview Dr., Frankfort, IL 60423 / South Chicagoland. Visit www.yoga-360.com or call (815) 806-0360 to reserve your spots.
