Merging Yoga and drumming creates a powerful way to unite body, mind and spirit, it represents a new way for improving all aspects of our yoga practice, deepening our self investigation. Drumming and yoga form a natural partnership. The vibrating resonance of the drum seems to pull students and practitioner deeper into the practice. The drummer moves energy into space while the yogini moves energy though the body. The tempo of the drumming can influence the intensity of the movement. Massimo has finally found a way to merge 35 years of drumming experience with his 30 years of activities as a martial artist, therapist and yoga teacher.
In this week long yoga – drumming retreat, we will explore the practice of Hatha yoga, meditation and Pranayama with the aid of live drumming. A beautiful dance between teacher, drummer, space and student.
We will also explore rhythm and the art of drumming through the exploration of sound, vibration and movement. Will experience the joy of playing together using hand drums, stick drums, and other small percussion instruments. During this week long retreat will also explore the use of the voice through singing traditional kirtan and bhajan .
Rhythmic drumming is an ancient key that man has employed throughout the ages to facilitate meditation and awaken inner awareness, we intend to use this power to guide and stimulate our self inquiry and transformation.
