Ananda Yoga & Detox Center
Celebrate the international day of yoga and summer equinox by joining us to practice 108 Sun Salutations on Friday 21st June 2024.
Yoga means many things to many people.
Performing the physical postures (asanas) is the most recognised aspect of our practice. But the true meaning of yoga can be traced back to the ancient Sanskrit word "yuj" which is to “unite or align the three aspects of the mind, body, and spirit”.
On June 21st, Ananda, The Yoga House, Orion Healing Centre and Stayfly Studio, will all come together, to guide you through 108 Sun Salutations, at all of our schools. As independent yoga schools coexisting on this beautiful island, we wanted to honor the true essence of International Yoga Day.
To help achieve this energetic alignment, we will host the event on the morning on the 21st, and unite to celebrate a practice which gives us all so much and in turn give something back to the community as all proceeds will be donated to a local charity.
