108 Sun Salutation Challenge
3 May 2019 - 7.30am to 9.30am
Ulster University - all campuses
Can you help us make this Northern Irelands largest coordinated yoga practice ever?
Join the challenge lead by Maitri Studio to do 108 sun salutations in a coordinated practice across Ulster University’s Belfast, Jordanstown, Coleraine and Magee campuses.
Do this on your own or as part of a relay team (6 people x 18 each, 3 people x 36 each).
You can raise funds via sponsorship or simply join in for the fun and make a voluntary contribution on the day.
A Chair-based version is also supported. Trained teachers will be there on the day to demonstrate, guide and motivate.
