Yoga for Charity: 108 Sun Salutations (EN)

In Yoga Nest Oerlikon’s words

There’s something very special about coming together at the beginning of a new year , not to rush ahead, but to move, breathe, and arrive together. This practice of 108 Sun Salutations is one of the most symbolic rituals in yoga. It’s not about perfection or performance. It’s about rhythm. About repetition. About showing up, again and again, one breath at a time. Traditionally, the number 108 represents wholeness, the connection between body, breath, mind, and the cycles of life. Practicing 108 Sun Salutations becomes a kind of moving meditation, a quiet ceremony in motion. At Yoga Nest, we’ll practice this together as a Yoga for Charity event, donation-based and open to everyone. You’re welcome to join whether you complete all 108, take breaks, modify, or simply move at your own pace. This is not about “pushing through,” but about being part of something shared. What makes this gathering especially meaningful is that the practice will be guided by a mix of Yoga Nest teachers and our freshly graduated yoga teachers, who will take turns leading the rounds. It’s a beautiful moment of continuity, learning, teaching, and community meeting in the same space. All donations from this event will go to Krebsliga Zürich. Krebsliga supports people affected by cancer and their families through counselling, education, prevention work, and research funding. It’s an organisation that offers practical help, emotional support, and guidance during some of life’s most challenging moments. You’ll be able to donate directly at the studio in Oerlikon. If you can’t join us in person but would still like to support their work, you’re very welcome to donate online via this link: 👉 https://zuerich.krebsliga.ch/spenden-legate/spenden/jetzt-online-spenden This practice is for anyone who feels called to start the year grounded, connected, and purposeful. Come as you are. Move what you can. Rest when you need. Be part of a shared rhythm, breath by breath, together. We would love to practice with you.
