Description
Join us for 108 sun salutations on Baginbun to celebrate the Summer Solstice and International Yoga Day. Donations taken on the day for the Irish Cancer Society
The Summer Solstice marks the brightest day of the year. We will gather together in the morning on Baginbun (in case of bad weather it will be in the dome) to do 108 sun salutations to mark the occasion.
Why 108 Sun Salutations?
The practice of Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutations) honors the life giving force of the sun and the sequences are moving meditations that honors the inner light that radiates from within.
The number 108 is considered a sacred number in yogic traditions and in Vedic culture viewed as a number that represents the wholeness of existence. The individual numbers 1, 0, and 8 represent one thing, nothing, and everything (infinity).
So join us for this special morning! It will be fun, meditative, and sweaty. Please note: 108 is not mandatory, and if you feel you’ve done enough you can just rest and join in again when you’re ready. The entire practice will take around 90 minutes and will be lead & counted by Gemma & Niamh.
