About the Sun Salutations
Why 108?
The number 108 holds deep sacred significance across many spiritual traditions:
- There are 108 Upanishads and 108 Tantras, ancient texts that explore philosophy and consciousness.
- In Ayurveda, there are 108 sacred points on the body that are believed to influence energy flow.
- Mala beads, used for meditation and mantra recitations, traditionally have 108 beads.
- Astronomically, the distance from the Earth to the Sun is approximately 108 times the Sun's diameter.
A 108 Sun Salutations practice is traditionally done to honor the changing of the seasons and is practiced worldwide as a moving meditation. This sacred practice connects breath to movement, allowing you to tune into your body, your breath, and your higher self, or Source, in whatever way resonates with you.
The internal heat generated during this practice is believed to be deeply cleansing and purifying, offering an opportunity to connect to a profound sense of self.
We’ll complete this challenge in four sets of 27, with rest breaks in between. Don't worry – an experienced instructor will be there to guide you every step of the way. Challenge yourself like never before and embrace the power of your first 108 Sun Salutations!

Afterward, we’ll return to our boards for a serene SUP Yoga session in the safety of the protected marina, connecting to the morning sun and stunning views.
11:00 AM: Time to challenge your balance and find a new perspective as we flow through simple poses on our SUP boards. It’s amazing what you’ll discover your body can do on the water!
12:30 PM: After our practice, we’ll gather on the beach for a wholesome picnic lunch, savoring the delicious, nourishing offerings while basking in the sun and relaxation.
2:00 PM: We’ll transition into our 108 Sun Salutations, practicing in four sets of 27, with breaks to rest and reset. This moving meditation on the beach will leave you feeling rejuvenated and connected.
Once our Sun Salutations are complete, we’ll wind down with a short meditation and time for reflection, letting the calm of the day settle into our minds and hearts.
