Come for the sun salutations or just to say hi and have some cake :)
what & where: 108 sun salutations on Big Bay beach (in front of the Blue Peter hotel). a sun salutation is a flowing sequence of 11 simple yoga poses linked together with the breath. when done in succession, they are invigorating, joy inducing, and they become a moving meditation.
when: 7:00am till ~10. all 108 sun salutations takes about 2 hours. so, do all 108, or however many you feel and show up anytime in between!
how: here's a link to the sun salutations if you're not familiar (http://www.rateyoga.com/img/surya-namaskara-A.gif). no cost.
bring: your own mat or towel. Your dog, your family, the kids :) Everyone is welcome!
why: to come together in love and harmony with each other and nature. to enjoy the sounds of the breath become one with the sounds of the ocean. most of all: for fun and inspiration!
