Global Mala Project 2008

Teresa Herrera just gave me a heads-up on the upcoming Global Mala Project in Manila on Sept. 20 (Sat). On her blog, Teresa describes Global Mala:

The purpose of the Global Mala Project is to unite the global yoga community from every continent in the world, forming a “mala around the earth” through collective practices based upon the sacred cycle of 108. Coinciding with the Fall Equinox and the United Nations International Day of Peace, studios, teachers and organizations across the globe will create fundraising celebrations, raising awareness for some of the most essential issues of our times: Climate Change, Children of War, Youth Aids. This event is the largest unified worldwide yoga event, dedicated to positive change, in the history of the planet.

I missed Global Mala last year but will try to make it this time. For those of you interested in experiencing this, contact Pulse Yoga. The schedule for the day is below:

  2. I wonder if that’ll be all surya A’s? I don’t think I can do 108 of B! :(

    Are you going, Jane? Let’s go so we can finally meet up. :)

    Jane: Avril, it was not meant to be. I am not feeling well at the moment and most of my familty is sick as well. This will have to pass till another year again… :-(

  3. Hmnnn… 8 classical surya namaskar… 50 surya A… and 50 Surya B, hehehe.

  4. Did some math. 108 rounds in 2 hours so that’ll be 1.1 minute per surya…I can only do A at that rate. But it doesn’t matter, I’ll stick to what I’ve told Avril in her blog – sagot ko na yung 8 rounds, bahala na kayo sa 100, ha ha! I heard Jevi of VYC will be leading the 108 namaskaras. Once she let us do 20 rounds in her class…after that session, we seriously considered joining the chair yoga, haha!

    Jane: Chon, am just imagining it and yes, I would end up in chair yoga too!
