Why 108 sun salutations? 

The number 108 is sacred in yoga, symbolizing spiritual completion and unity. Performing 108 Sun Salutations is both a challenging and sacred practice, representing the union of body, mind, and spirit. It is an opportunity to embody the essence of yoga by demonstrating unity and togetherness.

The Power of Dance to Celebrate.

After the Sun Salutations, we'll transition into a joyful celebration-dance, led by the Secret Sunrise Zurich crew in a unique experience with groovy music & headsets, moving, connecting and sharing joy in unity, on the successful completion of the practice.
