Music for Yoga

[muck_a_luck]

Do you have any favorite yoga music?

I have a bunch of the Shiva Rea compliations: Nataraja, Jala, Shakti Rhythms, Yoga Rhythms. Plus, I have a couple of good Sheila Chandra albums: Weaving My Ancestor's Voices, Roots and Wings, and Nada Brahama. Also, a couple of collections: Namaste, and Yoga Zone's Music for Yoga Practice. On top of that, of course, there are random things, like a song called Falling Down Slow, from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's awesome album Dirt Silver and Gold. I haven't really explored very far for yoga music. Weird as it may seem, I'm just starting to seriously think about developing my own practice beyond just putting in a DVD.

What music should we all know about? What's critical to your collection?

I hear you on the just moving beyond the dvd. And I kind of miss the instructions and music. Sometimes practicing in silence is wonderful for me, because yay! silence! - and sometimes I find it hard to focus/let go, and my mind keeps straying and circling around worries or to-do lists.

My satellite feed has a "spa" radio channel, which I've used sometimes, but it's a little bland for my tastes.

And I admit I succumbed to an impulse purchase of a "yoga" compilation at the Chapters yesterday. Haven't unwrapped it yet, though.
