108 Salutations to the Sun with Laura DeFreitas
Saturday, June 19, 2010
10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Cost: $35
Preregistration required
Join Laura in her annual celebration of the longest day of the year. Honor the life-giving energy of the sun in this ancient form of body prayer. Surrender to the rhythm of 12 sets of 9 Sun Salutations and leave feeling cleansed, clear and ready for some sunshine. This is a form of Bhakti Yoga or the yoga of devotion. Your intention and dedication in this practice is much more important than the number of sun salutations you complete. The practice will conclude with a short restorative sequence and a long rest in savasana.
