Winter Solstice is a sweet reminder that although we are welcoming the start of colder weather, longer days are coming, too. To celebrate the sun and the longer, more light-filled days to come, we will complete 108 Sun Salutations. This is a tradition that many people all over the globe gather together for to celebrate a new season and the Grandfather Sun (or to honor great change).

With it's flowing fluiditiy, this class is considered by many to be a form of movement meditation. An invitation for one breath, one movement. Although the journey is an individual one, the sense of community and the supportive energy of simply witnessing our breaths and moving along side each other is felt by everyone

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF “108”:

  • This number also connect the Sun, Moon and Earth: The average distance of the Sun and the Moon to the Earth is 108 times their respective diameters.

  • 108 is the number of names for Shiva (a Hindu god)

  • 108 is the number of names for Buddha

  • 108 is the Chinese number representing “man”

  • 108 is the number of beads on a Tibetan Mala and a Catholic Rosary (both prayer beads)

  • 108 is six times the number “18”, which is a Jewish good luck number.

  • 108 is twelve times the number 9, which is the number of vinyasas in a Sun Salutation.

  • According to Chinese and Indian Martial Arts: Marma Adi and Ayurveda, there are 108 pressure points in a human body.

(the list goes on...)

CLOSING CLASS

As you begin to settle into a lengthy savasana you will be bathed in the sound of chimes and medicinal smoke of sweet grass. Here you will be invited to gently surrender and find stillness. We will close our class with tea and a little something sweet.


“If people listen to their bodies and feel this as a moving prayer, they will be empowered by the whole process.”
