Beginning my 2024 with 108 sun salutations. Feel like giving up in the middle but I continue to push through and eventually I made it! When you want something, all the universe will conspire in helping you to achieve it! Thank you Alexia for this wonderful video. Happy New Year and may this year be filled with inner peace, growth and endless possibilities. Namaste 🙏
Alexia, this is my go-to when I want to do 108 sun salutations, which I did this morning in honour of the summer solstice and International Yoga Day. I am very grateful that you share these videos. Wishing you all the best from Montreal! 🙂
Exactly what I was looking for, straight forward constant movement with no talking. Some other tutorials just have too much noise for me to actually follow along with my breath. Forces you to move the speed of the teacher instead of establishing your own pace!
I am determined to experience the benefits of this practice. I have yet to do a single Sun Salutation without a struggle. If I can make it to 108....now THAT would be a huge personal achievement. Thank you for sharing this and for the encouragement and guidance this weary soul needs to complete this journey. 🙏/❤🔥
Oh yes 108 sun salutations is definitely a HUGE personal achievement! Though I will say that even 27 or 54 are also huge achievements. If you struggle with one sun salutation then consider taking baby steps. Start with one and then build up to 2. Then the next day do 3, and the next 4 or 5..!
Thanks for this! Loved the mental and physical journey of this practice! Started very confident and strong, then felt like giving up, then entered a meditative state, flowing through them with my eyes closed. Then felt tired again, but when I made it towards the end got another shot of adrenaline and finished them strong and confident! I was so proud of myself for finishing. Now a day later my muscles feel so sore haha but will definitely come back soon for another round!
(Sorry for late reply) it’s so interesting as what you wrote perfectly describes what I went through too! A big well done for managing to finish all 108 :-)
Thank you for this video! I woke up on winter solstice (over 3 months ago) and decided that the best way to celebrate would be to do your video. However, I only made it to 50 before my arms collapsed. Since then I've been slowly working up and today was my first time completing the full 108 in your video! I am feeling great about this day!! Thanks for leading me through this for the past several months
This was an amazing experience! You shared this gift with us in a perfect time. I did these 108 salutions today, during this special 12.12. Solstice gate 🌞💛 Thank you for your guidance, Alexia.
To honour the vernal equinox today, I did this sequence once again and I am seeing the progression. At the point when you count 100 and say, if you are still doing it you are amazing - I would like to thank you and say Alexia YOU are amazing - this is a lovely, challenging yet calming sequence and I Iook forward to repeating it when the season turns to summer. Thank you! Cheers from Montreal 🙂
When you posted this video 1 year ago, I thought “no way I can make this”. Today I decided to take the challenge and I can’t believe I made it!!! I feel now deliciously exausted!! Thanks so much for this, Alexia 🧘♀️
Thanks! I stopped a few times but eventually made it! A tower is essential in this practice! Hope I can follow along non-stop next time! Thanks so much Alexia!
I just completed this session and must tell you that it was perfect for me! Thank you so much for posting this video! Your voice is so soothing and the encouragements were greatly appreciated. Wishing you and all the other yogis out there good health, peace and joy.
Greetings from Montreal! To 'salute' the Autumnal Equinox, I did your 108 sun salutations this morning. I love your energy and your steady calm voice. This felt like a real accomplishment. Thank you for sharing this video, Alexia! 🙂
I LOVED this practice. Unfortunately, I think there was a rock or something on my yoga mat, and I cut the top of my foot. I kept going until I got to 70, and had to stop so I didn't make it worse. When it heals, I'm definetly going to finish the practice :))
Hi miss Alexia, today I did 108 sun salutations first thing in the morning ( I had a 5 minute break in the middle of the practice and I didn't do the plank pose before the upword facing dog properly because I find it a little hard ). However, it was an amazing practice. Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!
Natalia merry Christmas and well done for doing the 108 sun salutations! I had a feeling you would do it :-) I’m going to film some more dynamic Ashtanga videos that I think you’ll like ❤️
Wish there was a version where youre guiding the whole thing even just with the inhale exhale, I was panicking to keep up cause I tend to want to feel out each pose longer. So id be a pose behind and you say the next number. And then its just a race with myself to keep up so I ended up shutting it off and keeping track with a counter app.
Day 2 of the 7 day 108 sun salutation challenge - I am curious - when you did this challenge, were you also teaching classes or doing personal practice at the same time? 🙂
Good question! Ok so I was teaching classes but I made the 108 sun salutations my only practice those 7 days as I didn't have the energy for anything else! How is your 7 day challenge going?
@@AlexiaKYoga I am now on Day 4! Feeing good - its like a master class in Sun Salutation - I am learning a lot about my breathing and where I am meant to felt the benefit of the practice, and where my strength should be focused. Great challenge - thanks Alexia!
Sorry ma'am... with all due respect...i just want to say ...it's not the true Surya namaskar done in ancient Indian Himalaya n tradition..so pls do some more research 😊👍
Hi! Thanks for your comment! You may notice that I don’t mention that these are the ‘true’ surya namaskar done in ancient Indian Himalayan tradition. The ones I practice are the surya namaskar practiced in Ashtanga yoga, that I learnt from my teacher Sharath Jois in Mysore India. So keep in mind that there are more than one versions of ‘true’ surya namaskar ;-)
@@AlexiaKYoga 🙂I agree. The version that you have shown here is one of the beginner versions. It eliminates Cobra poses and Tree poses during which beginners might hurt their backs due to overstretching. The best thing about Surya Namaskar is that you don't need to strain your body in any of the poses.

Amazing! I’ve been wanting to do this for a very long time, and kept saying “I can’t”. Today, I CAN and I DID! Thank you!
Started my new year off with the 108. Was so grateful for your counting. Thank you
How wonderful! Happy you found the counting helpful. What a great start to the new year :-)
108 to honour the arrival of summer! Thank you again for a lovely session 🙂
Thank you for such an amazing video, Alexia.
You are very welcome ❤️

Soooooo fun! Thanks so much! I could not find a 108 sun salutation for the summer solstice near me,
Your version seems very easy compared to others 😊
Thank you 🙏
You are very welcome ❤️

How tall are you?
I’m 5.7!
That is NOT the complete sun salutation! You have removed 6 positions
That’s the ashtanga yoga sun salutation :-)

This is not the exact form
Hi Dhruv, there are actually many variations of sun salutations. The one I practice here is from Ashtanga yoga.
@@AlexiaKYoga Okay , Keep Doing and sharing such things👍 Respect!🙏
It's not the real surya namaskar
This is the surya namaskar we practice in Ashtanga yoga :-)
