GLOBAL MALA 2008



As we enter our second year of business we also enter our 2nd Annual Studio Oxygen Globlal Mala!! It is such a wonderful event to promote peace around the earth. This year's Global Mala event will take place on the International Day of Peace - Sunday September 21, 2008.
In honor of Global Mala, Studio Oxygen will be collecting donations and providing a (2) hour Cycling class AND (2) hour yoga class on Saturday September 20. (Cycling 7:30 am-9:30 am, Yoga 9am-11am).

The Global Mala is to unite the global yoga community from every continent, school or approach to form a "mala around the earth" through collective practices based upon the sacred cycle of 108 on Sept. 21st and 22nd, Fall Equinox as the yoga world's offering to further the UN International Peace Day. Each center offers their form of a Yoga Mala according to their yoga tradition and inspiration:

108 Sun Salutations (or variations of 27, 56)
108 rounds of mantra such as the Gayatri or Maha Mrityanjaya
108 rounds of a kriya
108 minutes of meditation, kirtan, movement meditation


Last year's Studio Oxygen "Mini-Mala" was a huge success! With our donations going to local charities such as the Sojouner House and The American Cancer Society.
