Summer Solstice Yoga: 108 Sun Salutations

Join us for a special 108 Sun Salutations practice on June 21st, honoring the Summer Solstice and International Yoga Day.

This two-hour journey includes:

• A short opening on the meaning of 108 and the practice

• A ceremonial Surya Arghya (offering to the sun)

• Traditional guided practice of 108 Sun Salutations

• A gradual, mindful entry into the Sun Salutation flow

• Space to rest, modify, and reconnect throughout

• Closing rest and integration time

Why 108?

The number 108 carries spiritual and symbolic meaning across traditions. It’s the number of energy lines (nadis) converging at the heart chakra, the number of beads on a mala, and the approximate ratio between the Earth and Sun’s distance and the Sun’s diameter. Practicing 108 rounds becomes a moving meditation—steady, transformative, and powerful.

Why on the Summer Solstice?

The solstice marks the longest day of the year—a time to honor light, energy, and renewal. Across cultures, it's been a moment of ritual and reflection. Practicing together on this day connects us to the rhythms of nature and to a global community celebrating International Yoga Day.

What is Surya Arghya?

Surya Arghya is a traditional offering to the sun, often involving water or gesture, done at sunrise or before solar practice. In this session, it’s a brief and simple way to begin the experience with intention and gratitude.
