Surya Namaskar Yogathon (108 rounds) at HSNC
I invite you to join us for this memorable yoga event where we will practice 108 rounds of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations). Surya Namaskar practice will not only invigorate and energize you but also lead you into a state of deep meditation.
You can join the program online via zoom or on-site at the HSNC temple hall in person. However, to enjoy the full benefits of group energy and electric atmosphere, I strongly urge you to participate in person at the temple, if convenient.

Surya Namaskar sequence
We will take short breaks after every set of 12 rounds. Everyone is strongly advised to practice only as many rounds as they are comfortable with. Feel free to take breaks on your own even during each round and rejoin the session at any time.
The practice of 108 SNs is an ancient tradition in India and is traditionally done to honor the change in seasons. Typically, it is done during the summer and winter solstice time (longest and shortest days of the year). In addition to its spiritual and cultural value, the practice is highly beneficial from a health and well-being point of view as it makes the body highly flexible, supple, strong and also helps remove toxins from the system.
I look forward to your enthusiastic participation. Please share this email with your own distribution lists. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
