108 Sun Salutations
|  | |
Monday, December 17, 7:30 pm
A benefit for our student Rigzen at the Siddhartha School in Ladak, India.
Join Heartsong's Astanga Yoga gang and all yogis who love a strong vinyasa flow style of yoga for an evening of fun with the Sun Salutations to celebrate the Winter Solstice. Come and find out why "108" is considered a sacred number in Indian Mythology, Numerology, and Astronomy...and how you can fit in your own "stories" about your own special numbers and dates during the event! All are welcome.
The format of the class:
Sheila will teach/lead the first set of sun salutations, as many as we need to get folks familiar with the flow. (There are 2 formal styles of sun salutation, she will lead both.) Then, as a group, we will take turns counting up to 108.
For each count, you are welcome to improvise your sun salute, take child pose, do another posture, rest, play, and simply enjoy the heat and the energy of the evening! You will be amazed at how everyone falls into the flow of the evenings practice, no matter how many sun salautations you actually "do".
Be prepared to sweat, laugh, and flow through the evening!
All proceeds from the evenings event will go to our student at the Siddhartha School in Ladak, India.
Drop in, $20.00, $18.00 for all Heartsong Monthly Members

Snow Day Information
When the weather outside is frightful....
When there is No School in East Longmeadow, morning classes will always be cancelled.
When schools are delayed in the morning, we will do our best to offer our regular classes, but reserve the right to make a decision that morning to cancel class.
Whenever you are not sure about a cancellation:
Call the Studio at 413-525-0720 and you will hear a recording with updated cancellation information.
Or visit the web and I will update the home page as soon as I can. Calling is the most up to date way to check in.
Evening classes, even if school was cancelled in the morning, we will do our best to host our classes, so call ahead and check the web. We cancel when the roads are bad and it would be dangerous to come out to play! Stay home, warm, cozy and safe, and enjoy a "night off."
