New Year’s 108

New Year’s 108 with Angie, Erin, and Anna!

Sun Salutations are a sequence of yoga poses strung together in a consistent movement. In Sanskrit, Sun Salutations are referred to as “Surya Namaskar” and were traditionally practiced to usher in the new day, for us the NEW YEAR!

What Is the Significance of 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.

  • 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.

Do you have to do all 108?? NO! Do what you can and simply enjoy the energy!

A portion of proceeds will go to the NO FREEZE PROJECT IN WILLIMANTIC
