Come and join Georgia today and on Friday to mark the second anniversary of our globally-popular online naked yoga classes with 108 sun salutations.
Georgia says, 'Last year we came together to complete 52 rounds, one for each week of the year we spent together online. This year, we are going to turn to the traditional 108 Sun Salutations (54 rounds for you).
There are two opportunities for you to join us, Tuesday 22nd 10:00 for an accessible Chair Yoga adaptation and Friday 25th for our more traditional Sun Salutation.
We’re aiming for 108 but you can come and do as many as your body needs! If that's 10, 20, 54 or 108, thats great.
Why 108?
108 is a sacred number in many ways and appears in lots of places!
- Mama bead necklaces have 108 beads, used for counting in meditation
- In Ayurveda there are 108 sacred points on the body
- The distance between the Sun and Earth is roughly 108 times the Sun’s diameter.
- In Buddhism, it is believed that the road to nirvana is laden with 108 temptations.
- Stonehenge has a diameter of 108 feet.
The heat we each build up in this Vinyasa practice can be cleansing, detoxifying and helps us to connect to ourselves and others practicing. It can help to unlock stagnant energy and unblock emotions. 108 Sun Salutations can be challenging, but a challenge is good, we find strength in ourselves to carry on or we listen to our bodies and rest.
108 is the goal, the intention - and any number on the way is perfect too.
These sessions are open to BN members and free to attend, but it would be great if we could raise some money for the Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. If you can donate £5/£10/£15 anything at all it would be really great.'
