108 Sun salutations

Practicing yoga involves more than just doing poses on the yoga mat. Karma yoga or Seva – which means selfless action – is also an important part.

To end the year in a spirit of giving and to show gratitude for what yoga gives us, Ashtanga Yoga Malmö organises a special ceremony consisting of 108 sun salutations to raise money for the organisation V-Care in Mysore, India. The ritual becomes especially powerful at full and new moons, and so we do it on Wednesday 9^th December 9th, as the new moon falls then.

108 sun salutations take about 50 minutes to complete; however, it is optional if you want to do all 108 or just a selection. You can invite a partner/friend and do half each as a team, bring the family and split the sun salutations among you or challenge yourself to do them all. The class is done in silence, synchronised with only the breath as the guiding instrument. Afterwards we have morning coffee together.

Ashtanga Yoga Malmö has been supporting the organisation V-Care in Mysore, India since 2016. V-Care works for social change, strengthening the rights of girls and children, and giving children from the casteless groups’ education and a better future. You can read more about V-Care and about Seva here.
