EP 134: Meditation and Mindfulness Practices with Ashley Wray

Ashley Wray is the founder and CEO of Mala Collective. The company works with artisans in Asia (from Bali to India to Nepal) to create products supporting a mindfulness and meditation practice. Merging both authentic practices and beautiful beautiful, Mala Collective wants to inspire you to live your mindfulness practice at home and throughout the day. Ashley designs the pieces, such as mala beads, crystal kits and meditation cushions, by merging tradition and modern day aesthetic.  The cushions and crystals are meant to inspire you to take a moment to breathe. The mala beads are tools you can use in your practice, but also beautiful beads you can wear throughout your day to remind you of intention. Since starting Mala Collective in 2011, Ashley has taught meditation across North America, taken meditation trainings from LA to NY to India and Bali. And has worked to make meditation and mindfulness more accessible and fun. Mala Collective has worked with brand partners from Lululemon to Anthropologie. And has been featured in YGQ, British Vogue and Yoga Journal.   You can find her here: On IG: @malacollective www.instagram.com/malacollective/ www.malacollective.com
