108 coming up soon!

January 1st is fast approaching! You know what that means to us Yogis!!??? 108 Sun salutes to say bye bye, hello 2013!  I'll be leading a class this year (EEEEEK). Holistic Personal Training and Yoga in Jacksonville, NC at 3pm http://holisticpersonaltrainingandyogastudio.vpweb.com/?prefix=www
Here's what you have to look forward too...feeling amazing about yourself inside and out afterwards. Beign able to challenge yourself and have helpful yogi's around to guide you on your journey...and a nuturing environment!  We will have it set up to donate to a local charity. We will do 27 sun salutes in each direction North, South, East, and West. Here's some facts about doing 108 ~

108 sun salutations is the 5K of yoga—challenging enough to sound compelling but not completely daunting, offering up a sense of accomplishment, and often undertaken in the name of a good cause.

Why 108? It’s said there are 108 sacred parts in the body, which correspond to 108 sacred places on earth and the 108 Upanishads (philosophical texts that form the root of Hinduism), explained Litteston. Vedic mathematicians considered 108 to be a “number of the wholeness of existence,” according to Yoga Journal.

Sun salutations open and energise the entire body, and done with total awareness, bring more and more prana (life force) into the system.
In fact, the greatest obstacle to completing 108 rounds of sun salutations is not the body but the mind –

I'm so stinkin' excited! So holla at Debbie at the studio and sign up for the 108!

Namaste.
