108 Sun Salutations is a great way to welcome in the New Year.

Before you even think it, I’ll address the most common thought when the number 108 is thrown out there.

Yes – 108 of anything is a commitment and a tad intimidating.
No – it’s not impossible.
Yes – anyone can do 108 sun salutations with the right intention, a strong breath, and a willingness to get a bit sweaty!

108 Sun Salutations to inhale in the good stuff, and exhale out the heavy stuff.

Why would I do a sun salutation, on repeat, 108 times?! Why would anyone do that to themselves 😆 And why should you consider subjecting yourself to it too?

Practicing 108 sun salutations is a tradition to celebrate seasonal shifts – the equinoxes + summer solstices. It’s a tradition to breathe consistently, move consistently, feel consistently, and in doing so, move past blockages, false beliefs, fears and what’s no longer serving us. It is also an invitation to truly listen to your body, go at your pace, choosing what is right for you, rather than tapping into competition, speed and perfection.

It’s a process.
a two hour process...

Why 108 Repetitions:
The number 108 breaks down to:
1 = God or a Higher Truth
0 = Emptiness or Completeness
8 = Infinity or Eternity
There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet, each one has a masculine and feminine quality – Shiva & Shakti – 54 letters x 2 qualities = 108.
It is said there are 108 energy lines that converge to form the heart chakra, Anahata. The Chakras are energy lines within the body that start at the root and travel up through the crown of the head.
A mala necklace is an Eastern rosary used for mantras, chanting, and prayer – it has 108 beads.
There are 108 Upanishads – an ancient text that is highly revered in both Hinduism and Buddhism.

108 is a pretty important, and powerful number :)

A few important notes/tips to keep in mind during the practise:
- have water nearby
- modify – modify – modify aka. take the option that sets you up for success of 108 repetitions, not to do each perfectly, but most importantly to get to the end.
- get ready to sweat
- take breaks when I offer them & when you need them
- set an intention, goal or mantra to keep top of mind as you bend + breathe

On the topic of options, let’s dive a bit deeper with the below options to support your experience:
- Skip the step back to plank, take a breath, move into downward facing dog, skip the upward dog and go from plank to down dog straight away
- Bring your knees down for chaturanga dandasana

Alrighty, are you ready?🌸

I already know you are. 🤩🎉

Unroll that yoga mat. Give yourself an I can totally do this hug.

And let’s begin.

Let’s do 108 Sun Salutations!

It’s 2022, the best time to create a vision board is now!

To get clear on your intentions, focuses, goals, dreams & directions for the coming year ahead.

In this session we will have a meditation to connect to our heart centre, where we want to lead our intentions from. Then go into guided journaling for short & long term intentions in various areas of our lives. Following that we will talk about vision board creation, the how & if you want you can start it during the call, but as it’s a time consuming and creative process, you might want to use this session to get clear what to put on there and afterwards find the images that match your intentions.

Everyone is welcome, for free, because this is such an important and beneficial activity to do to start the year off.
