Join Angie & Abby to celebrate International Day of Yoga and Summer Solstice with a workshop honoring the practice of 108 Sun Salutations!
The workshop will begin with a grounding meditation, intention setting, and an introduction to varieties of sun salutations (including use of props) before kicking off the 108 Sun Salutation journey!
This will be a flow at your pace practice and at any point should your body feel fulfilled you are welcome to transition to breathwork and meditation - as always this space is yours to experiment, build, pace, and grow.
Whatever your practice looks like, it will be right for you.
Why 108? There are 108 Upanishads (Hindu spiritual texts), 108 names for Hindu deities, 108 sacred points on the body (marma points), 108 sacred sites in India, 108 beads in a mala, and even the distance between the sun and earth is 108 times the sun's diameter! The practice of 108 Sun Salutations is a traditional mark for change of seasons and we invite you to join for this first celebration as a community as we welcome the summer season and celebrate International Day of Yoga.
