What’s this 108 Sun Salutations all about?
It’s a powerful experience that will stretch you and leave your Yoga practice changed. Along with being an incredible way to detox, physically and mentally, it’s a memorable gesture to mark an intention (restoring prana or positive energy at Martyrs’ Square).
Why 108?
The number 108 has long been considered a sacred number in Hinduism and Yoga. Traditionally, malas, or prayer beads, come as a string of 108 beads. A mala is used for counting as you repeat a mantra—much like the Catholic rosary.
Benefits of 108 Sun Salutations:
When you complete the 108 Sunnies you will mentally feel
More focused
More disciplined
More resilient
More committed to your yoga and to your own betterment
You as well will physically feel
Much stronger
More capable
More fluid
And better connected to your mind.
In general you will better appreciate what you are able to do, and how much further you can over reach your own expectations. This series will challenge your mind as your body continuously moves and flows through the asanas. For yoga to change your life you need to push your boundaries and prove to yourself that you can do more than what you give yourself credit for.
