Story

We are hoping to have 30+ students and 9 teachers take us through 108 salutations as a fundraising event for MIND the mental health charity. 

Please sign up by emailing yogaforhackneymind@gmail.com.

What?
108 sun salutations taught by nine different yoga teachers to a banging soundtrack over two hours in Stoke Newington to raise money for Hackney MIND.

It's also a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and have a laugh!

What is a sun salutation? 
If you've ever been to a yoga class you've done a sun salutation! It's the simple sequence that involves moving from a standing position into downward and upward dog... and then back to standing again.

It's also pretty knackering. So 108 should be challenging, but also a lot of fun. 

Why 108?
The number 108 is considered sacred and significant in a number of disciplines: 

  • There are 108 Upanishads and 108 Tantras
  • In Ayurveda there are 108 sacred points on the body
  • Mala bead necklaces have 108 beads — these are often counted in meditation

When?
2pm 
Sunday, 23 June

Where?
St Matthias Church, Wordsworth Rd, Stoke Newington, London N16 8DD
