thanks so much for the mention! boomerang yoga had a great event & boy, did those sun salutes (each of the 9 teacher added their own piece flair - aka additional, challenging poses) really kicked my asana.... but all worth it! we raised some great funds & there was delicious food awaiting us from shanti shack , including these AHmazing vegetarian brownies & sandwich bites! we are still collecting donations through october 31st if anyone is still interested in donating to bent on learning! thanks to all those who already contributed & a special thanks to yogadork for posting this!

And I’m so jaded that all I can think of is that this is a brilliant way to promote her brand. $108 for a two day pass? Where is that money going? Is this just another way to make some more dough off of yoga. Inquiring yogis want to know. Sounds like a YogaDork investigation is needed here…:)

believe the theme is just stemming from 108 beads on the mala, 108 names of hindu deities etc..
more significance of 108 on wikipedia.
my favorite being… “108 is the natural number following 107 and preceding 109.”

funny about the 108 of everything. I study with Srivatsa Ramaswami who studied with Krishnamacharya for 30+ years. Yesterday he was talking about sun salutations and he talked about this thing about doing 108 sun sals. he said “show me where it says you must do 108. can someone tell me where that came from? I think 108 of anything is too much.”

words from my guru!
