Start the New Year with wellness, community, and CELEBRATION of our 1st year at the Retreat!
It’s TIME for our annual New Year’s Day 108 Sun Salutations practice followed by a community potluck brunch - a tradition in our community since 2016! We’ll also be joining with Flora to celebrate our 1 year anniversary at The Retreat! After the 108th Sun Salutation is complete, we’ll enjoy some live music, a potluck brunch, raffle drawings, free samples from vendors, good company & MORE!
You may be asking WHY 108 Sun Salutations?? The auspicious number 108 is considered sacred in many cultures. It represents wholeness and when we join together in a 108 Sun Salutation practice, we’re reminded that we are all ONE - moving together with breath and meditation as we start the New Year with intention and good health! 108 tends to show up in many places if you pay attention: for example, there are 108 beads on a meditation mala, 108 beads on a rosary, 108 stitches on a baseball, 108 cards in an UNO deck..to name a few!
Practicing 108 Sun Salutations in a row is no joke. Therefore, our practice at The Retreat is a come-and-go situation! It will start at 10am and last a couple hours…. so you can show up at any time and do as many as you’d like. You can also step out for a coffee or matcha from @brewflora in our Lobby Lounge and hop right back in! The salutations will be team taught by Retreat Teachers and Community Members in a tag-team format. It’s so much fun and ALL ARE WELCOME to join us for FREE!
Our Community Potluck Brunch will start around 12pm, when the practice is over. So, please bring a “brunchy” item (prepared in your kitchen or picked up from HEB or wherever!) to contribute to the snacky buffet! This will be a very laid back event as we groove to some live music while celebrating, snacking and socializing. We can’t wait and we hope YOU and your friends can join us!
