108 Sun Salutations
with Leah F Melwani
"Effort becomes rhythm. Rhythm becomes meditation.”
Step into a powerful collective practice rooted in tradition and intention. 108 Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) is a dynamic, meditative flow that honors the sun, challenges the body, and invites deep renewal for the mind and spirit.
In this guided session, Leah will lead the group through 108 rounds of Sun Salutations, offering a steady rhythm, clear cues, and space to move with focus and presence, together.
Why 108?
In yoga philosophy, 108 is a sacred number symbolising wholeness, universal connection, and the rhythms of life. It appears throughout yogic tradition, from the 108 beads of a mala to cosmic and spiritual references, reminding us of our relationship with something greater than ourselves.
This practice is both a physical and symbolic journey:
a chance to clear old energy, build resilience, and begin anew.
What to Expect
✓ A guided, continuous flow of 108 Sun Salutations
✓ A strong yet meditative pace, supported by breath and repetition
✓ A shared experience of focus, endurance, and community

Come prepared to move, sweat, breathe, and stay present.
Who Is This For?
