108 Sun Salutations at Lakewood Solstice Steps

Powerful yoga practice to commence summer.

The auspicious 108 sun salutations are practiced at the beginning of each new season to honor it, to celebrate our accomplishments of the previous season and to offer ourselves to all the possibilities of the new season. We honor the significance of the sun, the light of the world and our primary source of heat and power.

So often when we are doing something challenging or repetitive, it is the limitations of the mind that we come up against way before the limitations of the body. But there is only ever one sun salutation to complete, the one you're in. Forget about how many you need to do or whether or not you can finish, and simply focus on the present salutation. Take breaks and join back in. Or just sit and breathe and enjoy the energy of the group.

We will meet at the west end of the Solstice Steps at 7:30p. for a profoundly empowering practice under the powerful setting sun of the longest day of the year. $10. Mats available. If rain, meet at Yoga West Studio.
