SALUTING FOR CHARITY – 108 Yoga Sun Salutations

All Proceeds Donated to 3 Charities – Sunday 15th May 2011

On 15th May this year, I will be taking part in a 108 Sun Salutations for Charity Event at Dunas Duradas Beach Club, Algarve in aid of 2 local and one international children’s charities.

Anyone wishing to sponsor me (I’d be very delighted to receive donations) or wishing to join in, please contact me at rachel@orangetreeyoga.com or use the PayPal donation button below.  Thank You.

The Charities

Pirilampos Orphanage

Albufeira (Portugal) based orphanage which is in desperate need of a new bus to fit the legal requirements for transportations. Most proceeds will go towards the bus; others will be put towards groceries, nappies, outings and utility bills in order to keep the centre running efficiently.

ACCA Kids

An officially registered Portuguese charity that supports underprivileged children (and their families) in the Algarve, through a network of volunteers and in association with a number of social partnerships and aid associations. For more information regarding recent projects and ACCA updates, please visit: www.accakids.com

SIS Project

Service in Satchidananda (SIS) is a non-profit international collection of charities established in honour of H. H. Sri Swami Satchidananda and based on his core teaching of selfless service. SIS, founded by Nalanie Harilela Chellaram one of Sri Swami Satchidananda’s beloved disciples, exists to serve global projects that are working in a sustainable way and giving back to their local communities.

Why 108?


• Sun & Earth: The diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth.

• Chinese: The Chinese Buddhists and Taoists use a 108 bead mala .

• Planets and Houses: In astrology, there are 12 houses and 9 planets. 12 x 9 = 108.

• Heart Chakra: The chakras are the intersections of energy lines, and there are said to be a total of 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra.

• Gopis of Krishna: In the Krishna tradition, there were said to be 108 gopis or maid servants of Krishna.
