Reserve your mat now and raise money for gynaecological cancer charity the Eve Appeal at our Yoga MalaFundraiser.
Yogis, non-yogis, men, women and kids of all ages are invited to perform 108 sun salutations (that’s your upward dog / downward dog) together at the studio. Mats provided (space for 50 people) as well as yoga bingo cards to help you keep count!

Why 108? The number is special in many cultures, for many reasons, including:
- The sun is 108 times the diameter of Earth
- Mala prayer beads have 108 beads for repeating mantra
- The body has 108 pressure points Buddhist temples usually have 108 steps
- In Japan a bell is rung 108 times to close the old year and welcome the new
