Testimonials
“I can honestly say that you, as an instructor, rank right up there as one of my favorites of all time. I’m immediately immersed in class - your voice, tone, in-depth instruction and cueing - your warmth, compassion and ease. You’re everything a true yogi is all about … exactly what i’m looking for in an instructor. I always leave your classes feeling relaxed, centered, grounded and at ease.”
“Thank you so much for these practices! Soul changing. I feel so rooted in my body and my mind feels at peace. I don’t think I’d be stretching to the places I’m going, spiritually or physically, without the trust I have for you and this work. Thank you thank you thank you.”

For the meditator, the yogi, the seeker — for anyone longing to step away from the noise of the outer world and return to the sanctuary within.
The Sacred Sadhana Mala was created as a companion for spiritual practice: a beautiful, tactile reminder to return again and again to presence. Fragrant sandalwood is paired with Lemurian Aquatine Calcite, faceted gold-plated hematite, and a gold-toned copper Sri Yantra pendant surrounded by an 18-petaled lotus. Although crafted with substantial 8mm beads, the natural sandalwood keeps this mala beautifully lightweight, making it especially comfortable for meditation, mantra, breathwork, or everyday wear. Its warm woods and soft, earthy tones also make this an intentionally all-gender piece.
The Magic of 11 • 3 • 7
The numerology of this mala was chosen to reflect the journey of spiritual practice — from awakening, to integration, to the deepening of inner wisdom.
11 is often considered a master number in modern numerology, associated with intuition, illumination, spiritual insight, and awakening. Two ones stand side by side like a gateway, making 11 a beautiful symbol of crossing the threshold from ordinary awareness into deeper consciousness.
3 is the sacred triad: creation, integration, and the union of complementary forces. Within yogic philosophy, three appears again and again — the three gunas, the three principal nadis often discussed in subtle-body practice, and the transformative movement from duality toward integration.
7 carries the symbolism of the spiritual seeker and the inward journey. Within modern yogic chakra systems, it naturally evokes the seven primary chakras, tracing a symbolic path from earthly embodiment toward expanded awareness.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood has been intertwined with spiritual practice in India for centuries. Its distinctive fragrance has traditionally accompanied meditation, prayer, ritual, and devotional practice, making it especially meaningful in a mala intended for sadhana.
Lightweight and warm against the skin, sandalwood brings an organic simplicity to this piece — a sensory invitation to settle the mind, deepen the breath, and return to the present moment.
Lemurian Aquatine Calcite
With its dreamy layers of blue, cream, aqua, and earth, Lemurian Aquatine Calcite carries the visual quality of ancient water captured within stone.
In contemporary crystal traditions, it is associated with serenity, emotional flow, intuition, inner exploration, and expanded awareness. Its gentle energy beautifully complements the grounding warmth of sandalwood: one calling us inward and upward, the other keeping us rooted within the body.
Faceted gold-plated hematite adds brilliance and grounding, weaving light through the otherwise soft and contemplative palette.
The Sri Yantra and Lotus
At the center of the mala rests the Sri Yantra, one of the most revered sacred geometric forms within the Tantric tradition.
Its interpenetrating triangles radiate around the central bindu, symbolically bringing together complementary cosmic principles and guiding awareness from the outer world toward the sacred center. It can be contemplated as a map of both cosmos and consciousness — a reminder that the journey inward ultimately leads us back to the source.
Surrounding the Sri Yantra is an 18-petaled lotus. The lotus is one of yoga's most enduring symbols: rooted in the mud, rising through the water, and opening toward the light. It reminds us that spiritual practice does not require us to escape the human experience. Instead, wisdom can blossom through it.
Wear your mala for meditation, mantra, pranayama, ritual, yoga practice, or simply as a reminder to create moments of sacred stillness throughout your day.
Return to the breath.
Return to the body.
Return to the center.
The temple is within.
