Celebrate the longest night of the year by saluting the sun 108 times. The salutations will be followed by a soothing Yin practice to internalize the energy and bring the heat & light inside. This practice is an opportunity to honor the return of the light, set intentions, and shed old and limiting patterns while at the same time learning to embrace the magic of the dark.

It has become a tradition for the yogis to practice 108 Sun Salutations on the solstice as the salutations are a physical moving prayer and offering. At Yoga Bhoga, we build an altar in the middle of the floor and all of the students fan out like rays of the sun. Participants are encouraged to hold their prayers and intentions within their mind as they bow to the sun 108 times. The salutations are followed by a yin practice to allow the mind and body to soften and enter into a serene state of receptivity.

This workshop is for those who appreciate ritual and honor the shifts of the seasons. Participants should wear yoga clothing and they are welcome to bring items to add to the altar. This practice is beloved by the community. We would be honored for you to join us!

Taught by Meghan Maris and Anne Witmer
