Global Yoga Summit

Embracing Harmony Through Collective Yoga Practice

Our Story

Why 108 Salutations?

The Global 108 Salutations Summit celebrates the ancient yoga tradition of performing 108 Sun Salutations (we added Moon), a practice rooted in the sacred number 108. In Hinduism and yoga, 108 symbolizes spiritual completion, with ties to the 108 Upanishads, 108 mala beads, and the approximate astronomical ratios of Earth to Sun and Moon. For our event, ‘108 salutions’ means completing 108 individual flows of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) or Chandra Namaskar (Moon Salutations).

Through The 108 Event, we hope to successfully bring together diverse communities, hosting thousands to millions of participants worldwide. Our virtual-to-hybrid platform can facilitate transformative experiences, enhancing not only personal practice but also foster global unity and support through our shared love for yoga and mindfulness.

Our Commitment

Mission and Values of The 108 Event

Our Mission

To promote global harmony and connectivity through diverse yoga practices and mindful community engagement.

Our Values

We value unity, inclusivity, mindfulness, and the transformative power of yoga for personal and collective growth.

108 Salutations = 108 Flows of 12 poses/flow

How It Works

One Salutation = One Flow: Each salutation is a single sequence of poses (e.g. the 12 poses of Sun Salutations). Completing 108 salutations or flows is the traditional practice.

Optional Sets: Many traditions pair right- and left-leg flows into a ‘set,’ meaning 54 sets equal 108 salutations (54 right + 54 left). You can choose this method if it suits you.

Flexibility: We welcome all levels–practice 108 salutations, 54, or any number that feels right to you. The goal is connection, not perfection.
