    Smokebrush Gallery proudly presents 108 Sun Salutes for Peace, an annual Yoga event. This non-denominational event is free and open to the public. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and bring a Yoga mat. Yoga mats are available for those who need them. Space is limited. Bob Tudor will play live music to accompany the event. The event will be lead by certified Yoga instructors Thia Luby, Kat Tudor and others.

    A series of twelve successive Asanas (Yoga postures), Sun Salutations are a way to honor the changing of the seasons with a strong intention for peace and compassion (the Winter Solstice is officially Sunday, December 21).  Additionally, Sun Salutations are also an amazing way to strengthen the body and to work up that appetite for the holiday meals!

    Why 108?
    Hindu and Buddhist traditions acknowledge the special significance of the number 108: there are 108 beads in the mala of both traditions; there are 
54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet and each has masculine and feminine (totaling 108); 1 stands for a Higher Truth, 0 stands for Emptiness and the number 8 signifies Infinity.
