Yogathon is an initiative to promote the practice of yoga for healthier living.

Since inception in 2012, Yogathon has grown from 6 cities in Canada to become a global annual event. We believe that yoga is more about touching your heart than touching your toes.  Come join us on 17 June 2018!

All proceeds support Gift a Smile Project, a Non-Governmental Organization founded by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, providing free education to underprivileged children in India.                                                                                       

SUN SALUTATIONS

Take the sun salutation challenge. Let your inner fire burn.

Surya Namaskar, or the Sun Salutation, is a dynamic sequence of movements performed to celebrate the sun, while building strength and improving flexibility. The fluid, rhythmic postures awaken the whole body, focus the mind, and enliven the breath. 

WHY 108?

A sacred number

The number 108 has many historical, spiritual, scientific , mathematical, and symbolic meanings. It has become a tradition for yoga practitioners to perform 108 Sun Salutations. This is most often done in large groups and often as an offering of peace or hope.

GROUP CHALLENGE

The power of a collective consciousness

On June 17, participants will transcend barriers of age, culture and physical ability to take the group 108 Sun Salutation challenge, as symbolic offering of hope to the youth around the world.
