Good yoga music is so important right? In my yoga teacher training my teacher said “be really careful with the music” which meant, play some safe chanting during Savasana but otherwise skip it. I’m more of a music person though, to me, if it’s the *right* music it adds and doesn’t distract. And of course a decent sound system is important too
I discovered a great yoga CD at the last yoga conference - Rasa: Mello. It’s perfect forVinyasa, it has some nice beats. It’s nice soulful interesting diverse music. There’s a great track with Demi Moore doing some spoken word that got lots of replays when I had the CD in the car.
I noticed on Amazon that someone wrote that the album didn’t have enough edge to it - but that’s what makes it perfect for yoga. It’s just interesting enough to stand out but when you’re focusing on something else it just flows over you.
I notice there’s a whole series of ‘Rasa’, here’s hoping they hold to the same standard!
