i enjoy this cd. it was bought to use in a spa enviroment and has been complimented on several times. good buy.

this is a find.......2003-11-06

I am always on the lookout for good power yoga CDs to use at home. So far, this CD (along with Mystic Groove) is the one that makes each home yoga practice motivating and fun. The beat along with the authentic indian instrumentation are mesmerizing (and, yes, it does seem to enter my soul). Based on this CD, I will also try the other Asana CDs (II and III).

Music to practice yoga by.......2001-10-16

This collection has the hypnitic quality that is attractive in eastern music combined with the energy of rock and the mellowing influence of jazz, which make it the perfect background for tasks that require concentration at work or home.

The layout of this approximately 75-minute CD is especially effective for yoga practice. The first track, Mantra, has the right pace and length (15:43) for a good set of Sun Salutations. The second, Black Lotus, has a more flowing sound and brings added energy to move into full practice. This energy is sustained through the following tracks up to the final medatative "Aum" (which is unfortunately a bit short, just over 4 minutes).

An excellent melding of eastern music to western tastes.
