Summer Solstice - 108 Sun Salutations
Host: Yoga Den San Marco
Join us in honoring the Summer Solstice with a moving meditation of 108 Sun Salutations — a powerful and traditional way to mark the longest day of the year. The number 108 holds deep spiritual significance in many traditions and symbolizes unity, wholeness, and the rhythm of the universe.
You’ll be gently guided through soft Sun Salutation A’s, with optional counters provided to help track your flow. Don’t worry — you don’t have to complete all 108! Listen to your body, rest when needed, and simply move with intention.
We'll flow at our own pace to uplifting, summer-inspired music, embracing the warmth of the season and the energy of the sun. We’ll close with a seasonal intention-setting practice to leave you feeling grounded, refreshed, and fully aligned with this vibrant time of year.
Open to all levels. Come as you are, move how you feel, and celebrate the light within and around you.
