Join Essential's owner and instructor Sunni on New Year's morning from 9-1130a and begin the new year with a practice rooted in intention, clarity, and ritual. A Yoga Mala is a traditional sequence of 108 sun salutations used to honor moments of transition. New Year’s Day is one of the most meaningful times to complete this practice because it invites us to consciously close one chapter and step into another with presence and purpose.The number 108 carries symbolic significance across yoga traditions. It reflects completeness and the connection between our individual journey and the larger universe, the Divine, or God. Moving through a Mala on January 1 becomes a way to acknowledge where we have been, release what we are ready to set down, and set the tone for how we want to move through the year ahead.
In this special celebration, we will complete one Mala together through four rounds of 27 sun salutations, each expressed through a different pathway:
- Traditional Sun Salutation A
- Supine Flow from the back body
- Chair Yoga variation
- Hands and Knees Flow
Between each round, you will have time to rest, hydrate, and reset. Coffee, tea, water, and light breakfast items will be available.
This event reflects the heart of our studio philosophy. Yoga adapts to your body and your season of life. By offering four full variations, we create a shared experience where every body can participate with confidence and curiosity.
Whether you prefer flowing on your feet, exploring a gentler practice, or honoring an injury or transition, each variation is a complete and valid expression of the Mala. Join us in welcoming the new year with community, reverence, and movement that meets you where you are. OM for ALL.
$40 per person; only 15 spots available. Advanced registration required via the ticket link.
