After ten beautiful years of serving Madison with traditional and modern yoga, transformative children’s programs, sound healings, and so much more, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to close our physical studio at the end of June.

​

Mala was born out of a dream—a dream to fill what was missing in Madison: a small, community-focused shala where every teacher and student knew each other’s names, where this space became a second home. A place where the eight limbs of yoga extended beyond the mat, weaving social justice into practice through free yoga for veterans, scholarships for underserved communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and those in recovery), and programs that taught children—from elementary age onward—the lifelong tools of meditation, empathy, and self-regulation. You helped build that dream into a living, breathing sanctuary.

​

This space—and each of you—has been integral to this journey. Now, it’s time for me to step back, rest, and reflect.
