Here’s a follow-on from yesterday’s post about music. Having the ability to remotely control your music is pretty important in a class. It’s a bit disruptive to pad around the class fiddling with music while your class is trying to focus. And realizing while you’re teaching a pose that you’re competing with the music can be discombobulating - do you stop to change the volume or just holler over the chanting? You need a remote control you can use to tweak the sound right at your mat. But what if your music equipment isn’t close enough to point a remote at?

It’s easy - you need the sexy-named RF Remote Control Extender. I have a studio at home where I teach and this baby works to control the music *throughout* the house. You replace one of the batteries in your remote control with a special one that sends the wireless signal, so you don’t need extra clunky equipment. The replacement battery even recharges itself so it’s really low-maintenance. The little round base station thingy sits in front of your equipment so it can pass your signal to the components, you don’t even need to point the remote in it’s direction. It works like a charm. Last night I was able to start the music, move to the next track, and adjust the volume without moving from my mat - no disruption, no discombobulation.

I’ll also add that ordering from Parts Express was easy and shipping was fast (even to Canada). Here’s an opportunity to focus on playing yoga teacher not DJ.
