After a long wait of two years, AYC was back again in 2017. I was already looking forward to it from January itself. In fact I think already in Dec 2016 I was sending out emails enquiring about the exhibitor application dates.

As the days slowly pass to come closer to the end of 2014- one starts to think of the past year and everything that has happened- its upward facing dogs and its downward facing dogs.

It’s the 2nd of October and a National holiday here in India. It is Gandhi’s birthday. Gandhi was a big proponent of non-violence, known as an ethical morale called Ahimsa in India.

Hard at work here in the Maha Mala office brainstorming some new range ideas. After the Hong Kong yoga festival this year (which by the way was fantastic! Thank you all you Asian Yogi’s for welcoming us once again!) we got some excellent feedback that people wanted a finer jewelry range as well as more bracelets.

We are excited to partner up with Stuart from Love Yoga Anatomy to be able to offer you a chance to win this exquisite 108 bead mala made from Tourmaline and Labradorite! It is long and chunky- fits men and women!

Many of you have never been to India, perhaps it is a life long dream, or a thought that maybe one day you will head here to explore, discover, love, hate and be overwhelmed by the sights, sounds and smells that is this beautifully chaotic country.

Birthstones were first introduced in the 15th Century- each stone represents certain qualities that are linked to the months in the Gregorian calendar. Throughout the ages certain stones have changed or been substituted.

The Asia Yoga Conference was held from the 6th – 9th of June 2013. Four days might seem like a long time to hold a yoga conference, however the days just flew by. Can we skip ahead already to next year please?

People often ask us- where do you get your stones? Since Maha Mala is based in Delhi, Northern India- Jaipur the capital city of the state of Rajasthan, and the city of gemstones is located a short (if you considerThe car ride to Jaipur how large India is!) 4 hour drive down south.
