108 Sun Salutations for the Fall Equinox w/ Matney Plyler

Come celebrate the equinox with the sacred ritual of 108 Sun Salutations. We will complete 9 sets of 12 with mindful meditation and discussion between sets.

Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, please email Kelsey at  kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

This workshop will fully immerse you in a sacred ritual practiced by yogis all over the world.

Traditionally practiced in auspicious days such as solstices and equinoxes, this practice will prepare and embolden you to thoughtfully and confidently transition from summer to fall. We will explore leaving behind what no longer serves and dive into what the Autumn season may hold, through journaling, meditation, and discussion. These explorations will occur between sets of Sun Salutations: 9 sets of 12 for the sacred 108.

108 is a significant number in many eastern cultures and even shows up in Western culture in some small secular ways. 
✨Sanskrit has 54 letters in the alphabet-masculine & feminine equaling 108
✨There are 108 yoga sutras 
✨There are 108 marmas/energy lines in the body that converge at the heart
✨There are 108 Buddhist temptations to overcome to reach enlightenment 
✨In Vedic astrology, there are 12 houses and 9 planets that equal 108 when multiplied 
✨There are even 108 stitches on a baseball! 


Come explore a ritual in community, leave feeling fully prepared to mindfully and intentionally welcome the new season.
