Join Ashley for this transformative Sun Salutation event. Typically this event spans 3 hours & includes 108 Sun Salutations broken up by moments of mindfulness and reflection. We will be condensing this original structure so that the event is only 2 hours long and will include 60 salutations, mindfulness and reflection.

Sun Salutations can be practiced any time and with any frequency. Traditionally, practicing 108 Sun Salutations is reserved for the change of the seasons. The number 108 is sacred and significant in many ways, appearing in many disciplines from astronomy to yoga:

• The number 108 appears in ancient, sacred texts. For example, there are 108 Upanishads and 108 Tantras

• In numerology, 108 equals 9, which symbolizes universal love, eternity and awakening

• In Ayurveda, there are 108 sacred points on the body

• In astronomy, the distance between the Sun and Earth is roughly 108 times the Sun’s diameter

• Mala bead necklaces have 108 beads, which are used to count during meditation

The Winter Solstice symbolizes death and rebirth – new beginnings and fresh starts. We will be utilizing this workshop to let go of the habits and thoughts we wish to leave in 2022 and set new intentions and goals as we move forward into 2023. We highly encourage you to bring a notebook and pen so you can write down these thoughts and intentions as we work through the workshop.

It is believed that the fire (internal heat) that you build during this practice is cleansing, detoxifying, and gets you more in touch with yourself. There are many benefits to practicing 108 Sun Salutations.

Move Energy
Sun Salutations heat the body and activate Prana, or upward energy. You’ve probably heard in yoga class that the active parts of class (like a Vinyasa flow) help create and move energy and stuck emotions. The slower parts of class (like hip openers and reclined poses) help release energy and emotions that no longer serve you.

Surrender
During 108 Sun Salutations, you will at some point think, “Why did I sign up for this?” If you keep going, you will find a state of ease, and even a sense of flow. You will surrender to the process, acknowledge what arises emotionally, and then let it go. When you finish, you will feel lighter and find meaning in this ancient ritual.

We hope you can join us for this special event. Tickets are $49.99/person or $89.99/2 people if you sign up with a friend.
