What is Yogathon?

It the equivalent of a running marathon only doing yoga, specifically 108 sun salutations! Yes, 108 all at once, what an incredible way to challenge yourself while raising funds for The Yoga Partnership programs.

What does it involve?

On the weekend of November 7-9, we will get together as a co-ordinated fundraising event across QLD and do 108 sun salutations.

The things you need to do are:
1. Sign up here
2. Start practicing and follow along for support
3. Get some sponsors for a great cause and to keep you motivated
4. Come along with a smile, it is going to be fun! Better still grab some friends to come along and make a night of it!
5. There may even be prizes for our top fundraisers and a few sneaky door prizes too.

Why 108 sun salutations?

108 is significant in yoga texts as a spiritual number that refers to “spiritual completion” or “wholeness of existence”. There are 108 japa beads on a mala, said to be 108 Nadis (energy channels that lead to the heart), Lord Krishna had 108 attendees (Gopis), 108 Pithas (sacred sites) across India, The average distance of the Sun and the Moon to Earth is 108 times their respective diameters, many scholars believe there are 108 Upanishads (sacred texts) and it is why we will do 9 rounds of 12 Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) to complete 108.

How fit do I need to be?

We wont lie, it is a physical and mental challenge but we have faith you will love it once you getgoing! We suggest you do practice in the lead up and we will be sending out emails and support videos to help you do that. Getting sponsors will also help keep you motivated and you know what you can stop or modify anytime, just sign up.

What locations?

How do I get sponsors?

Where does the money go?

We have so many programs we wish to continue in 2024 and beyond. Important programs like our popular Pink Ladies program, Adaptive Yoga program, classes for refugee women and our mental health support programs for those less fortunate.

What is a Sun Salutation?

Yes, there is and you guessed it, $108 to participate. This is a tax deductible donation with all monies raised going back into our community programs.
