Meet Elizabeth

I am a self-proclaimed Lover of ALL things Malas….

I received my first Mala in the late 1990s. It was a Rosary from my mother-in-law. I had no idea the meaning behind it, nor did I have instructions on how to use it, but I was drawn to it and instinctually started using it for daily prayers. I didn’t realize then…. I was basically doing Japa meditation.

I grew up in Eastern Kentucky, so any part of yoga or Mala, or prayer beads were foreign to me at that time. I just knew that “it” whatever “it” was felt good to me. Eventually in 2008, I got on a yoga mat and my journey started and shortly I found myself incorporating Malas into my daily yoga practice and meditating with them.

Making Malas

I had no idea what I was doing…

In 2016, I decided to make my husband a Mala. I had no idea what I was doing, but I felt I had this inner “knowing” of how and I had a deep desire to do it. After several “how to” videos and hours of frustrations of re-doing knots …. I had completed my first Hand-Knotted Mala…and I was hooked!!! All my friends and family who saw it, wanted one. So, I started making Malas, refining my skills and gifting them to loved ones.

Being a Mala Maker is my Dharma

Eventually my technique, knots and knowledge improved. My yoga practice had deepened, and I traveled to India several times. While in India, I had the honor to meet and interact with a few Indian Mala makers. Communicating through broken English, we bonded through our love of Malas. These interactions inspired and motivated me to keep making them and before I knew it “Yogi Dreamer” was born and I was creating, repairing and selling Malas to the public.

I absolutely LOVE the “magic” of Malas. Malas are very personal and sacred to the wearer…. they hold their energy, their intentions, their dreams, their prayers. I love seeing people light up when they find their “one”.

I am very Grateful that you are here. Thank you for choosing Yogi Dreamer to help you find your perfect Mala for your journey.
