INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY – 108 sun salutations

Practicing yoga involves more than just doing poses on the yoga mat. Karma yoga or Seva – which means selfless action – is also an important part.

For International Yoga Day 2026, we organise a special ceremony consisting of 108 Sun Salutations to raise money for the organisation V-Care in Mysore, India. The ritual becomes especially powerful during full and new moon, thus we do it on the morning of Monday, 15^th June, as the new moon falls then. It is also a great way to get started and energised for the day.

108 sun salutations take about 50 minutes to complete, however it is optional if you want to do all 108 or just a selection. You can invite a partner/friend and do half each as a team, bring the family and split the sun salutations among you or challenge yourself to do them all. The class is done in silence, synchronized with only the breath as the guiding instrument. Afterwards we have morning coffee together.

Ashtanga Yoga Malmö has been supporting the organisation V-Care in Mysore, India since 2016. V-Care works for social change, strengthening the rights of girls and children, and giving children from the casteless groups’ education and a better future.
