WHY PARTICIPATE?
There are two reasons why we organize yoga-party 108 «Surya Namaskar».
The first — an informal get-together, meeting and communication of all yoga lovers who are in Vietnam. Thus, to mark the International Day of Yoga, which is celebrated on June 21st.
The second — joint repetition of 108 circles «Surya Namaskar».
The traditional daily repetition of 4 to 12 circles "Surya" awakens the body for the whole day, improves the health of joints, hormonal and digestive systems, and strengthens muscles. In this case, it is not the number of circles that counts, but the regularity of the performance.
The effect of the practice of 108 circles is a "breakthrough" to a new level!
The energy boost from repetition of 108 rounds can last for a week. Such a number of repetitions will help you assess your capabilities and show willpower, believe in yourself and experience an energy boost.
WHO IS FIT FOR
For intermediate and advanced yoga practitioners. The repetition of the circles of Surya Namaskar occurs in a continuous flow, therefore the experience of repetition of the complex is necessary.
Beginners can also take part, while completing as many laps as you feel comfortable with. Stop if you feel you have enough. Also, during practice, you can rest as needed.
