Yin + Sound Journey with Melissa Mai & Christian Dimarco

Melissa Mai & Christian Dimarco are returning to Melbourne to offer their much loved Yin Yoga + Sound Journey Immersion. You will be guided through a deeply restorative practise of Yin Yoga by Melissa, and taken on an elevating sound journey with Christian.

Yin Yoga is a slow, soothing and meditative style of practise that is suitable for everyone.

This style of yoga allows us to open up the physical body and the energy channels in the body. All postures are practiced lying on the floor or seated. You can expect a lot of stillness and deep rest. We use this practice to deepen our ability to receive the medicine of sound.

The sound frequencies have the power to change the cells in your body, to alter your brain wave state and shift your emotional body. Sound has been used for healing for centuries.

The soundscape created for the experience will be performed live. Christian will play a range of world instruments, including Didjeridu, ethnic flutes and overtone singing.

We look forward to sharing this beautiful experience with you!

About the Facilitators:

Melissa Mai - Melissa has been teaching Yoga full time for 11 years since her return from India in 2013. Her style of teaching is slow, steady, and heart felt.

‘I don’t care about how you look; all I care about is how you feel. Within every asana (yoga posture) is an experience to be felt. Grounded, connected, humble, alive, vulnerable’.

Christian Dimarco - Christian is a multi-instrumentalist and producing artist based in Melbourne. He has been facilitating sound journeys for over a decade. Through an innate curiosity of music, he explored sound therapy using didjeridu, ethnic woodwinds, gong and overtone singing.

His philosophy is to inspire peace and love through his music, knowing that music traverses all languages and connects to anyone who listens with a gentle heart.
