Kim starts and ends my week with a Sunday morning and Saturday afternoon advanced yoga class.  She says that there are over one million yoga yoga positions.  She is always talking to us about fascinating facts about the body, especially the muscles and circulation system.  She also reminds us that since we have to breathe anyway, then why not make it our best deep cleaning breath.  She says the same thing about our positions, some of which are very challenging to hold.  She reminds us to not hold our breath, but to always remember to breathe deeply with each movement.  "In with the good and out with the bad."  She also reminds us to "Close your eyes" so that we can concentrate on our inner being and really get the full benefit of each move.   She also holds an equinox where we get together about an hour before sunset and do 108 Sun Salutations.  The really cool thing is that everyone around the world is also doing it an hour before their sunset, so the cycle continues for a full 24 hour period.  I think this must be pleasing to our creator as he sees our energy shooting off of the Earth toward the whole universe.  The number 108 is also symbolic and fascinating.  There are 108 stitches in a base ball.  The distance from the Earth to the Moon is equal to 108 Earths and the distance from the Sun to the Earth is 108 Suns. It is also interesting that the Muslim Mullah and the Catholic Christian Rosary both have 108 prayer beads.  She uses the Rosary to keep count of our 108 Sun Salutations, and the class usually takes about two and a half hours.
