Yoga of Sound - Embodied Sound for Self-Care
Jan
20

Yoga of Sound - Embodied Sound for Self-Care

A nourishing in-person event to experience using Sound & Mantra as a nourishing self-care tool to build resilience and grace to move through an ever-changing world.

Experience:

How to use meditative toning as a soothing sonic hug for the nervous system.

💕 The aliveness and insight that a nuanced pronunciation of Sanskrit can offer as it exercises and strengthens the neural pathways in the brain. ((YES, yoga for the brain!))

🧘 A Simple Mantra Meditation: Feel empowered to use sound as part of your daily wellness or yoga practice.

✨ Absolute beginners welcome!

***Please bring a cushion to sit on and a drink in a bottle.

What is a mantra?

Mantra is a tool for the mind. This tool "yokes" or unites us ( AKA yoga) with the eternal within. Through the sonic sounds of sanskrit we bypass the thinking mind and stimulate different archetypal energies within, bringing in universal alignment, support & insight.

Sound & Mantra healing:

There is a special power that comes when we actively engage in a nuanced practice of mantra ( think of this as brain yoga) Dislodging old mind gunk, and revealing our authentic state of harmony. As sound is created within as the mantra,it creates powerful healing at a root level = Self-Sound Healing.

Sounds complex?

Like all good things, mantra is best experienced as an embodied practice. Not an intellectual pursuit - so don't worry, no prior knowledge is needed. I make it super accessible and safe for all levels.No fancy singing voice is required.

When: Saturday 20 January, 20224

Time: 10 am - 11:45 am

Where: CalmBuddhi HQ 2/4-6 Thomson Terrace, Dromana VIC 3936

Bring: A cushion to sit on, and a drink in a bottle.

Bookings: $35 Essential due to space

About Natalie:

A few years back I fell head over heels in love with Sanskrit, and it completely transformed my world. These ancient sounds brought me home ( and continue to when I lose the way). Tapping into the juicy aliveness of an embodied sound practice dropped away years of overwhelm and stress revealing an epic love story as I attuned deeply into the total harmonious beauty of life within.

As Rumi says "What you seek is seeking you" and I heard the call through the sonic sphere to dive into the mystical world of Sanskrit in a practical and embodied way with HeartofSound teacher training.

This process of Sound & Mantra attunement is not just a personal journey; it's a path I passionately share in a tangible, accessible way. By embracing these ancient practices we collectively embark on a transformative journey, uncovering and celebrating our fullest potential together.

Dancing the River of Life- Natalie Bondine

DANCE IS THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE to TRUTH!

Imagine taking a few hours to dance through the blocks of SHAME and emerge more whole, more loving, more kind and more your personal hot best!

This is the chance to dance away from SHAME and to sweet hot pure body and heart. We will wake up in our flow! The dance movement comes from our core (dont worry, I'll show you how) There are no steps to get wrong, it's an open flow of being and breathing with our body. We are flowing- and lovingly exploring and journeying through the pulses of our body world - the one that makes this world tick. This dance is HEART & COMPASSION . We RECOGNISE and TRANSFORM POWER away from stuck or blocked and to FORGIVEN & RELEASED.

We begin with a brief intro and some simple warm ups. We have a safe space for flow and the lights are low. Our body senses switch on and we move.
