The significance

Why 108?

☀️

The average distance between the Earth and Sun is approximately 108 times the Sun’s diameter.

🌙

The average distance between the Earth and Moon is approximately 108 times the Moon’s diameter.

108 is considered a sacred number in many traditions and cultures across the world.

🧘

In yoga, 108 repetitions symbolize completeness, reflection, and renewal.

Not just a number — it’s a reminder of our connection to something greater than ourselves.
