Spring Equinox practice: 108 Sun Salutations
Saturday March 20, 9:30-11:30am


To celebrate the arrival of Spring, we will be holding a special "108 Sun Salutations" class on Saturday, March 20 from 9:30-11:30amThose of you who have experienced one of these practices know what a beautiful and meditative experience it can be, and what a wonderful way to invite the new season and new year.  Join us and bring your friends!  Refreshments will be served after class.  There WILL be a kids yoga class during the Equinox class, $5 drop in.
 
Why 108 sun salutations?  The number 108 is a perfect three digit multiple of 3, also 9 times 12, all numbers with spiritual significance in many traditions. Regardless of whether you subscribe a larger significance to the number, you will notice that it divides quite nicely into four rounds of 27 modified sun salutations, each round with a break to take time for a rest, drink of water, and invocation for peace, health, abundance, or whatever you may wish to bring forth this winter.

Your donation for the class ($20 suggested) will go to the Bethlehem Inn, Central Oregon's largest emergency homeless shelter.  If you can't make the class, you can send donations directly to the Bethlehem Inn at The Bethlehem Inn, PO Box 8540, Bend, OR 97708 or visit www.bethleheminn.org

"A vital question to ask yourself frequently is:  What is my relationship with the present moment? Then become alert to find out the answer...Since the present moment is all you ever have, since Life is inseparable from the Now, what the question really means is: What is my relationship with Life?  This question is an excellent way of unmasking the ego in you and bringing you into the state of Presence." 
- Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth
