In just under a month, on Sunday 22nd June, I'm hosting a Summer Solstice celebration at .tree.room
In yogi terms this means flowing through 108 rounds of the Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutations.
It has long been a tradition in yoga and other eastern practices to perform this moving meditation as a way to celebrate the change of the season and to express gratitude for all that we have around us as we cleanse the body and mind and detach from the outside world.
"Why 108?! That's mad!" I hear you say!
Well, 108 is considered in many traditions as a sacred number. There are links to the universe, to creation and to the infinite possibilities in life itself. Not to mention 108 Upanishads, 108 named Deities, 108 postures and the links to the sun, moon and earth.
On the day itself, well begin with some Pranayama to focus our minds and control our breathing before we move into the salutations. Moving through blocks of 12 with a few moments to rest in child's pose in between we will make our way to that 108 milestone. Refreshments will be provided.
So book on now, it's going to be an incredible afternoon of breath, movement, focus and community. You'll lose yourself in the practice and leave with a huge sense of achievement.
