“One day, [teacher Jean Klien] said to me, ‘Your very trying to change yourself is actually taking you away from what you are.’ ”
Great yoga music and yoga playlists are hard to find, so I usually make my own compilations. Usually I make playlists on my Ipod but that was before the unfortunate death of my 40 GB Apple Ipod. You’d think a product that is so expensive yet made cheap by a company with such a reputation for innovation would last longer than one year? Well apparently not. Getting used to not having a quarter of my music collection (I have tons of music) with me at the touch of a finger has been an adjustment, but particularly for my private yoga lessons. I used a portable Ipod Boom Bucket for lessons only used now as a prop for practicing balancing yoga poses suchs as Ardha Chandrasana (half moon). As I adjust to my latest loss I realize it has actually turned into a great gain for me - a new exploration of fabulous yoga music for my yoga classes! Last night I googled “yoga playlists” and found some really great songs to include on my next round of yoga mixes for classes. Here’s my latest and greatest complication that I’ll begin incorporating in my Atlantic Beach yoga classes.
I usually bring a variety of mixes with me to class but there is one yoga CD compilation which knocks my socks off. It’s called Yoga One and it this album is so wonderful! I wish I could find more like it! The music is great to teach a Atlantic Beach yoga flow class to; especially because of the song Breathe (it reminds you to remember the most important part of a yoga pose, which is your breath). Enjoy the yoga tunes and if you have any suggested playlists or yoga compilations, send them my way!
