On December 30th, a yoga event "Sunday Worship 108 times" was held at Hirosaki Civic Cultural Exchange Hall on the 4th floor of the complex "Hiroro" in front of Hirosaki Station.

The 108th sun salutation has been held as a yoga event at the end of each year in recent years, including the meaning of resetting the annoyance of 108, which is related to the bell of the night. In Hirosaki, the city co-sponsored as part of health promotion. It is operated by yoga studio "re-light" in Hiroro.

Participants performed one set of 12 poses 108 times over 2 hours. There were about 100 participants at the venue, and not only women but also men and 70s were seen, and they were working hard.

Yoshiko Kanawa of Rewrite said, “It started three years ago for members. The number of participants has increased, and we have been calling on general participants since last year. By doing together with everyone, we are doing our best around us. Is encouraging."

Participation is free, and you are free to leave your seat or take a break. "It's not about the fact that you have to do it 108 times, but the challenge is meaningful," says Mr. Kanawa. “I heard that the instructor I was in charge of was so tired during the New Year last year that it was awkward. The people who participated will have a great New Year,” he says with a smile.
