I mix my own CDs for yoga classes. I mix from a huge range of music and then choose a CD for class based on the weather, the mood I’m trying to create, the poses I’m doing and more. But the most important music is what gets played for Savasana. Anyone who has felt an emotional pull from music knows the power of just the right selection to help you enjoy a good yoga glow and melt into the floor.

Here are my current favourites:

Brian Eno’s Ambient 1: Music for Airports - there are only 4 tracks on the album and they’re all good in a non-linear sorta way. I especially like the vocals in 2/1.

Yoga: Music for the Mind Body & Soul - it’s all good mellow yoga music, but I particularly like “Mountain” and it’s a good length for Savasana.

Yoga Rythms - a must-have. It’s lotsa fun for a spirited Vinyasa session and I hope Shiva Rea produces many more. The Peter Kater tune is great.

Hannibal Soundtrack. “Vide Cor Meum” is my absolute favorite classical tune. It builds so beautifully that I just let it play for the last 5 minutes of Savasana without saying a word. Edit out the final sound (what were they smoking?) before you burn it to CD.

Agnes Dei. This is an amazing choral album, and “Miserere” is 14 minutes of wonderfulness that will take you through some slow stretching right into Savasana. On a technical note - this album plays at a very low volume, so either use burning software that will adjust the levels, or avoid mixing it in with alot of other selections that will have you jumping for the volume button.
