About the event
Join us as we welcome the longest day of the year with this ancient practice that's all about connecting with the sun's energy.
We'll flow through 108 rounds of Sun Salutations, a powerful sequence that's great for building strength, flexibility, and inner peace.
Why 108? This number holds deep significance across cultures and traditions. In yoga, it's believed that there are 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra, our center of love and compassion. Additionally, there are 108 Upanishads, sacred texts of ancient wisdom, and 108 marma points, or energy centers, in the body.
Beyond yoga, 108 appears in various aspects of life. In mathematics, it's a Harshad number, divisible by the sum of its digits. In astrology, there are 12 zodiac signs and 9 planets, resulting in 108 possible combinations. And in astronomy, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is roughly 108 times the Sun's diameter.
So, as we move through each Sun Salutation, we're not just honoring the physical sun in the sky—we're tapping into a deep, ancient wisdom that connects us to the universe itself.
All levels are welcome! Come join us for a morning of movement, mindfulness, and community as we salute the sun and embrace the start of summer together!
7:30 p.m Thursday, June 20.
