I got Zero 7’s latest, Simple Things and it is so awesome for yoga. It’s good lush chill-out background music with enough beat that’s never too in your face. It’s smooth without being schmaltzy. I used almost all the album, there’s a mix of vocals so you don’t feel like it’s all the same stuff. Here’s how I remixed it for my 85 minute yoga class:
- Destiny - sexy vocals and a nice groove for 5+ minute warm up
- Give it away - a good smooth beat for starting sun salutations and standing poses
- Out of town
- Simple Things
- Red Dust
- Likufanele
- Polaris
- In The Waiting Line - here’s where it starts to slow down for some nice easy stretching
- This World
- Spinning
And I finished it with 10 minutes of crystal bowl sounds I got from itunes for Savasana.

Thanks Corilee. This mix is very helpful. Love your blog btw, I’ve been following it about a year now.
