Mala Yoga Center

08/06/2025

We're honored to share this final feature on Mala Yoga Center from Our Lives Magazine. A tribute to the space we've built together and the work we've done over the years to make traditional yoga more accessible, inclusive and transformative.

From day one, Mala was more than a studio. It was a call to action- A safe and brave space where healing met Justice, where everybody and every story was welcome, and where community wasn't just something we talked about- it was something we practiced.

Over the years, Mala became a refuge for many: a place to land, breathe, reconnect, and rise. A space rooted in equity, care, and collective transformation

Thank you to everyone who rolled out a mat, showed up, spoke truth, and helped shape this into something powerful and lasting. You are part of the legacy.
