With Nina Hakamies and Tania de Jong AM
Date: Thu 15 May 2025 @ 7:00pm
Location: Level 4, 479 St Kilda Road Melbourne VIC 3004
Our Melbourne event series is an opportunity to come together to connect and create space for your mental health and well-being.
Our May event will be facilitated by Nina Hakamies and Tania de Jong AM.
Our community Yoga, Kirtan, Voice and Mantra experience is designed to guide you on a transformative journey, where movement and voice unite to elevate vibrations and awaken collective healing energy.
Together we’ll move through a guided practice of Yoga movement led by Nina, flowing into Voicework with Tania and finishing with Kirtan, an ancient form of Yoga, called Bhakti Yoga.
Nina and Tania will then lead us through Kirtan, with an immersive sound and chanting practice as we repeat Sanskrit mantras over and over, as part of a unique and blissful meditative experience. These chants have been sung for millennia by Sages, Devotees and Yogis from all around the world. This session offers a beautiful chance to strip back all that is unnecessary so that we can deepen and dissolve into the bliss of sound and vibration.
Conversation and light refreshments will follow the main session.
All are welcome! Limited places are available.

Nina is a yogi and sound specialist. She discovered the power of yoga and sound 25 years ago and fell in love with this potent combination of movement, vibration and stillness as a healing modality for the body, mind and emotions.
After leaving her successful career as an international public health professional, she re-trained as a yoga teacher, sound healing practitioner & therapist, musician, kirtanist and holistic health coach – and she’s never looked back.
Nina offers yoga and sound to individuals, community groups, workplaces, businesses, and people who are transitioning to end-of-life. She’s blessed to be collaborating with some amazing and talented people in Australia and overseas.
It’s in the deep relaxation, profound listening and heart-based presence that lies the key to our personal healing and transformation. With this deep knowing, Nina strives to make the world a better place in her own authentic way.
