The new year is an auspicious time to set intentions, offer prayers, and purify the body-mind-heart as we step into this new sacred cycle. In the yogic tradition, 108 is revered and celebrated as a number connected to divine auspiciousness.

A yoga mala is any yoga practice intentionally repeated 108 times. Like adding flowers to a garland, Govind Das and Radha will sensitively yet courageously lead us through the purifying and transformative ritual of 108 sun salutations – the full body yogic prayer to the sun- metaphorically described as the divine light that shines at the core of our Being.

This YOGAMALA will be broken down into 4 rounds of 27 with each round infused with a specific intention, dedication, and prayer.

Adding the taste of sweetness to counter the intensity of this sadhana, we will elevate the devotional mood and strengthen the pulsation of this flowing prayer by continuously chanting the great yogic mantra Om Namah Shivaya – I bow to the Supreme Self within. This fire ritual is designed to awaken the dormant seeds of manifestation, transformation, and abundance that lie within…and prepare ourselves for a vibrant and illuminating 2022!!!
