YOGATHON 2023

March 11, Saturday, 5 – 7 PM

Venue: Town Green, UTown, National University of Singapore

The Yogathon is for both beginners and advance level practitioners of yoga and includes the #108SunSalutationsChallenge, fun yoga, animal yoga, partner yoga, laughter yoga, photo booth, stalls and lots more!

#108SunSalutationsChallenge is to complete 108 rounds of Sun Salutations! They are a series of 12 powerful Yoga postures, which rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit! Not only are the Sun Salutations a wholesome workout, which help develop physique, muscle strength and reflexes, research suggests that it is one of the best things you can do for the mind as well. The well-known benefits include improved concentration & confidence and also lowered stress and anxiety.

Event Format:

The Yogathon will take ~2 hours. We have two categories of participation for the marathon:

GOLD Challenge: The participants seriously attempt to complete 108 rounds of the Sun Salutations. We highly recommend prior practice of the Sun Salutations to participate in this category. (you can join in our weekly practice sessions – see below for details). You can also have a look at the the recommended training chart for reference!

Spirit of Participation: The participants complete as many rounds of Sun Salutations as they are comfortable doing and participate in all the other fun yoga in the event. 🙂

Why 108 you ask? Completing 108 sun salutations is challenging enough to sound compelling but not completely daunting. Yogathon, 108 Sun Salutations, offers the perfect opportunity to experience the energy created by participating in this challenging but easily accomplished practice. The number 108 also has significance in many traditions and cultures including Chinese, Indian, Islam, Buddhist, etc.
