108 sun salutations are often practiced in yoga during solstices and seasonal transitions as a way to mark change with greater awareness and intention.
While the practice is physically repetitive, the repetition itself carries meaning and purpose.
Over time, the steady rhythm of movement and breath can create a different quality of attention. The practice becomes less about counting and more about noticing:
* where the mind goes
* how the body responds
* what shifts when you stay present a little longer than usual
For this Summer Solstice gathering, the 108 will be practiced in 12 rounds of 9, with intentional pauses throughout the morning to breathe, reflect, and reconnect before continuing.
12 is often associated with solar cycles and the movement of the sun through the year
9 is often connected to completion, integration, and the closing of a cycle
108 itself appears in many different ways across the globe.
Did you know that the outer circle of stones at Stonehenge measures exactly 108 feet? And is linked to Da Vinci’s 𝘝𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘷𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘯. In his drawing the 5 pointed star (representing humans), inside a circle (representing a planet) we find 108 degrees staring back at us from every angle.
The structure of the morning is intended to support participation and presence rather than performance.
We’ll begin with slower guided rounds of a modified Sun Salutation A before gradually building into the larger practice. Participants are welcome to continue at that pace throughout the morning or move into a more dynamic rhythm if they choose.
There is no expectation to complete all 108.
This gathering is simply an invitation to explore what can happen when movement, breath, and reflection are given enough time and space to settle into rhythm together.
