Bio:
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 pieces, 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.
Since starting Mala Collective in 2011, Ashley has taught
meditation across North America, taking meditation trainings from
LA to NY to India and Bali, and has worked to make meditation and
mindfulness more accessible and fun.
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.
Mala Collective has worked with brand partners from Lululemon to
Anthropologie. And has been featured in YGQ, British Vogue, Yoga
Journal, Goop, Well + Good, and Poosh.
