As the longest day of the year approaches, we invite you to join us in a powerful and transformative practice to celebrate the Summer Solstice. On June 20th, we will gather at Foothills Park at 6:00 PM for 108 Sun Salutations, marking this special occasion with a rejuvenating and meaningful yoga session.

Why 108 Sun Salutations?

The practice of 108 Sun Salutations is a profound experience that stretches your body and enhances your yoga practice. It’s an incredible way to detox physically and mentally, helping you transition smoothly from spring to summer. This ritual not only boosts your physical and mental capacity but also deepens your connection to the changing seasons.

The Significance of the Number 108

You might wonder why we focus on the number 108. This number holds deep significance in various traditions, especially in Hinduism and yoga:

• Sacred Number: In Hindu culture and yoga, 108 is considered a sacred number.
• Prayer Beads: Traditional malas (garlands of prayer beads) have 108 beads, plus one “guru bead,” similar to the Catholic rosary.
• Cosmic Connection: The distance from the Earth to the Sun and Moon is approximately 108 times their respective diameters, linking this number to astronomical phenomena.
• Yogic Tradition: There are 108 pithas (sacred sites) in India, 108 Upanishads, and 108 marma points (sacred points of the body).

These elements contribute to the significance of the number 108, making our practice even more meaningful.

Who Can Join?

This session is open to everyone, regardless of your yoga experience. The 108 Sun Salutations will challenge you to your core, bringing peace to your mind through a deep connection with your body. It’s an opportunity to inspire yourself and others, embracing the core principles we hold dear at The Cycling Yogi:

1. Doing something inspiring for ourselves.
2. Inspiring others.
3. Helping others inspire themselves.

What to Expect

When you complete your personal 108 Sun Salutations, you will experience numerous benefits:

• Mentally: Improved focus, increased discipline, enhanced resilience, and a stronger commitment to your yoga practice and self-improvement.
• Physically: Greater strength, enhanced capability, better fluidity, and a deeper mind-body connection.

Overall, this practice will help you appreciate your abilities and surpass your expectations, challenging your mind and body as you continuously flow through the asanas.
