The Winter Solice, the longest day of darkness and the changing of the season. It symbolizes death and rebirth, new beginning and fresh start. To celebrate the longer, more light-filled days to come, I invite you to practice 108 Sun Salutations to mark the changing seasons. 

Sun Saluations in Sanskrit Surya Namaskar that translate Surya (sun) and Namaskar (to bow to). It is a series of postures that warms, strengthens, and aligns the entire body connecting your breath.  While mentally and physically challenging, it can be a personal and transformative experience to your practice. 

So Why 108?

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
