I am organizing a fundraising event for the local women’s shelter in our area... presenting and practicing 108 Sun Salutations.

The weekend of the 21st of June is a busy one. International Yoga Day, Summer Solstice, National Indigenous People’s Day, and this year, Father’s Day.
The practice of participating in 108 Sun Salutations is one of transformation and is done at times where there is a threshold or a need. (The Solstices and seasonal changes are thresholds.) It is meant to be a challenge. If it seems overwhelming to you, know that there is no test and you can do what you are able, AND, also know that you are stronger than you think! This is definitely a challenge for me as well! The practice is meant to touch us on a physical and an emotional level. We all transform whether or we do it intentionally or not. I feel offering this practice at this time is significant because of the change of season, and for Interlude because this organization helps with the transformation of and transitioning of women and their families. Transformation can also be about breaking cycles and stepping into a new way of being to move forward. I feel that Interlude help their clients to move into a more positive outlook and way of being.
I have found strength in my yoga practice and it is my hope you have too. For the women and families being supported, it is my hope they each will find their strengths!

For this practice, I will be guiding participants online in 2 versions of 108 Sun Salutations via Zoom. Saturday June 20, 2026 will start with a 7am Chair Yoga practice. Sunday June 21, 2026 we will also start at 7am with 108 Sun Salutations on our mats. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, I invite you to join us and participate to your ability. As always, if it hurts, please do not do it!
Traditionally, the flow is 9 sets of 12 Sun Salutations. I will modify the flow and feel it will still be challenging for me and possibly you! It is meant to be a challenge! We will flow through 12 sets of 9 sun salutations (variations of sun salutations increasing in intensity and these will not all be ‘traditional’ Sun Salutations). A 1 minute rest/savasana in between the sets will allow us to gather our breath, allow for the movements to be integrated into our bodies and for us to hydrate if we feel the need. The anticipated time for the Chair Yoga 108 Sun Salutations is approximately 60 minutes. The anticipated time for the 108 Sun Salutations on our Mats is at least 90 minutes. Please allow extra time for each practice in the event it goes over my ‘estimated’ time.
