    I've done it a couple of times. It's taken me any where from 75 min to 3 hours depending on how fast I do them and if I do anything else (inversions, standing poses, etc) in between.

    108 is considered an auspicious number to yogis. Doing 108 Sun Salutations or drop backs or whatever is considered an act of devotion and surrender.

    Renowned mathematicians of Vedic culture viewed 108 as a number of the wholeness of existence. This number also connects the Sun, Moon, and Earth: The average distance of the Sun and the Moon to Earth is 108 times their respective diameters. Such phenomena have given rise to many examples of ritual significance.

    According to yogic tradition, there are 108 pithas, or sacred sites, throughout India. And there are also 108 Upanishads and 108 marma points, or sacred places of the body.

    And, yes, one can offer a yoga mala of 108 Sun Salutations. Please take a moment to visit www.globalmala.org for more information on the power of 108
