Mala Barua
Mala Barua launched Mystic Asia to dedicate time to the mission of her heart. As the demand for knowledge of The Self grows Mala finds herself being able to share more and more with others. The aim of the retreats created by Mala is to bring healing to more than the physical aspects of the human body. The participants get to explore the deeper aspects of their existence thereby bringing healing to their emotional states. This in turn opens the doors to their own spiritual aspirations. In order to achieve this, Masters of various spiritual traditions are carefully chosen to deliver ancient wisdom to small groups of people in luxurious environments. She creates interesting and unusual retreats with a spiritual bent in exotic parts of Asia.
Mala has lived in London, Hong Kong and Singapore for the last 20 years where she practiced and taught Yoga in the Sivananda tradition. Her time in the Far East also inspired her to learn Tai Chi and Qi Gong under Chinese Master, Dr. T.T. Ang.
Mala also founded Yoga &You which services the travel industry in India and has conducted Inner Silence meditation programmes at various retreats.
She is a regular contributor to Vogue India, Travel+Leisure and Asiaspa magazines on matters of wellness and holistic healing.
