“The saying, 'Think globally, act locally' — turn it around. Think locally, and then you have the courage to act globally. If you only think globally to start with, you won't have the energy to act.”

A SACRED, HEALING JOURNEY OF SOUND
SUPPORTING UKRAINIAN CHILD WAR REFUGEES 🇺🇦
Join us for an afternoon of vibrational restoration and healing as we help raise much-needed funds for the many Ukrainians escaping their war-torn motherland for refuge in Victoria.
As a proud third-generation Ukrainian, this is a cause close to Lydia’s heart.
She will guide you in a healing journey of sound encompassing: sacred mantra meditation, vibrational breathing and a sound immersion of crystal + metal sound bowls and other healing instruments. Afterwards you will feel rested, more integrated and will experience a deeper sense of connection with yourself and the living world.
We understand trying to work out how to support a global calamity from afar can be overwhelming. So, heeding the advice of the great conservationist, Jane Goodall - we’re starting local.
For this event, 100% of proceeds will be donated to the Ukrainian Community School in Noble Park (Victoria), which assists newly-arrived children affected by war in its community.
Through your attendance you will not only be giving back to yourself as we each try to reconcile this heart-wrenching atrocity in our own unique way - but also rallying behind the Victorian-Ukranian community which is supporting displaced Ukrainians relocating to Melbourne.
(This is mostly a lying practice. No prior yoga experience is required.)
“Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

What to bring with you:
Due to Covid-19 limitations we are not able to offer you our usual array of yoga props. Thus, for your comfort please bring with you:
Your yoga mat (or rent one from us for $3)
A blanket/shawl to cover your body
A small blanket/towel/pillow to place under your head in Savasana (you can rent a towel from us for $3)
Something to cover your eyes (eye pillow or face washer etc)
We will provide blocks and bolsters for your use, depending on availability.
Arrival:
Please ensure you arrive 15 minutes prior to the class start time to ensure you have plenty of time to settle in. If this is your first visit to our gorgeous studio, we recommend you build in 10-15 minutes of extra time into your travel schedule to ensure you arrive with plenty of time without having to rush.
Finding our studio:
If it is your first time to our beautiful studio, our best tip is to look for the F45 (gym) sign on Little Collins Street (between Queen St + William St). Then walk through the sliding glass doors of building 447 and down the escalators, we’re just to the left on basement level.
