108 Sūryanamaskāra @ Sivananda Yoga Center - Manhattan #Chelsea
Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center, 243 W 24th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
NOTE: There is a cost for this event ($21).
**Yoga Event is OPEN to all – Familiarity with Surya Namaskar / Sun Salutations sequence is recommended. Session includes preparatory breathing exercise, performing the yogic sequence for 108 times, followed by well deserved relaxation. Please arrive at least 10-15 mins early to complete registration at the venue.**
Join us, as we gather to embark on a spiritual journey through 108 Surya Namaskars (Sun Salutations) – this ancient practice, a divine dance with the sun, serves as a homage to the life-giving force that illuminates our world. As the sun gracefully ascends on the auspicious time period of Uttarayan, the northern journey of the sun, marks a time of renewed vitality and the promise of longer, sun-kissed days. It symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, mirroring the inner journey of self-discovery and enlightenment that unfolds with each Surya Namaskar. According to yogic traditions, there are said to be 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra. The practice of repetitive spiritual exercise is believed to help align and balance these energy channels.
Event will be hosted by Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center – Tucked away in a traditional NYC brownstone on West 24th Street, the center has been serving the city’s Yoga community since 1964. Unlike many other new-age NYC yoga studios that focus primarily on physical fitness and trendy practices, Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center offers a distinctive experience rooted in Spiritual Depth. They provide authentic and comprehensive yoga experience, offering a space where you can connect with your inner self and find true balance amidst the noise of modern life.
