Why 108 Sun Salutations?

Afbeelding12Traditionally worldwide yogi’s gather upon the change of the seasons to perform 108 Sun Salutations (54 rounds), quite often as a offering for a social purpose. On the 20th of June* we do this also together with a group of yogi’s in Stavanger and all the donations of the event will go to Kafé og Byttebu a local social initiative. 108 Sun Salutations is quite a workout, it will take you about 75 minutes to complete it.

Yoga Retreat in Portugal

Last week I went to Portugal together with my sister. A small working holiday to prepare the yoga retreat that I will host in September. During this trip we worked really hard ;-). We made city trips to Porto and Aveiro, went to the beach and had lovely dinners at sunset. But we also visited The Farm where we will stay during the retreat, an amazing old Portuguese Farm in the middle of nature, with an ecological swimming pool. With our local guides, the best ever, we also went on a bike tour,  a hike to the waterfall, with a lunch in the middle of nature up in the mountains. During both days we did several photo shoots. The result is amazing, watch the video below.
