This program will help train your body and mind to practise 108 Sun Salutations. A worthy challenge!
Completing the challenge of 108 Sun Salutations can make you feel more focused, disciplined and resilient and the training will get you fit.
Gradually build yourself up to 108 Sun Salutations and then back down again, with this four week training plan. Each class will include a warm-up and a full Savasana. We practise a simple Sun Salutation A and give options and modifications to keep your body safe. Also includes extra classes to complement and balance the practice. Sign in or start your free trial with EkhartYoga to join in this challenge.
Our comprehensive training program will also go through modifications and variations to suit your body. Practising the 108 is of course physically intense and so it is not for complete yoga beginners unless you are already fit and have good upper body strength from other sports.

Build up to 20 Sun Salutations
This week is all about getting prepared. You learn all about the modifications available in the Sun Salutation A, and find the right variation for you. We then slowly start to build up to 20 Sun Salutations this week, with extra core and Yin yoga classes to complement your week.
Build up to 54 Sun Salutations
This week we will build up to 54 Sun Salutations. Do what feels right for your body. Follow the classes but if you get to what feels like the right number of repetitions for your body simply stop. You can still follow the rest of the class with visualisations or you can chant Aum (A-U-M).
Build your stamina for the full 108 Sun Salutation Class
You have already practised 54 Sun Salutations so you have built up enough strength. We practise 30 and 54 repetitions of Sun Salutations this week along with core work and rest. This will help build your stamina for the full 108 Sun Salutation class on day 7 of this week.
Cooling down
This week is all about slowly and safely working your way back down after practising 108 Sun Salutations. Think of these as your recovery runs after a marathon!
