Tiny Devotions Yoga Mala Giveaway…and the winner is…

Erin H.!

The first yoga book she ever read was one that’s also high on my list of all-time favorites, Stephen Cope’s The Wisdom of Yoga. She definitely has some good karma, calm, and equanimity coming her way in the form of the beautiful Amazonite 108 bead mala. Congratulations Erin!

As a pure stroke of unintentional star alignment I realized the congratulatory comment on the original post just so happened to be the 108th comment. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect ending to the 108 bead mala giveaway…Can’t wait for the next giveaway

Thanks to everyone for making this (in my humble opinion) one of the coolest giveaways ever. I truly enjoyed reading everyone’s reflections on the first yoga book they read. One of the little joys in life for me is to ponder on the amazing treasure trove of yogic literature available to all of us. Thanks for sharing and adding to that joy!

Namaste!

The simplicity of yoga is one of its most beautiful and appealing aspects.
