Yoga Zone: Music for Yoga Practice

Amazon.com
This mostly acoustic compilation of 13 cuts by such Windham Hill artists as William Ackerman and Michael Hedges mesh well for a soothing, even-paced (although sometimes a bit busy) musical experience that's excellent as accompaniment to a yoga routine. With a slow, steady rhythm, "The White Spirit" from French duo Uman unfolds the collection splendidly, transporting the listener to an exotic, rhythmic place perfect for focusing the mind and stretching the body. Other standouts include "Bridges" from Celtic-folk artists Nightnoise, featuring a lyrical acoustic guitar and plaintive violin; Philip Aaberg's poetic "Crying Smile"; and Patrick O'Hearn's electronic "87 Dreams of a Lifetime," whose cadences are just spirited enough to keep your body moving while still laid-back in delivery and meter. Yoga Zone is a solid collection whose only weakness lies in its demand to be listened to rather than used to underscore physical movement. --Karen Karleski

Always a popular gift.......2007-05-17

I give it to my massage therapist and friends and they always enjoy it.

Relaxing Tempo.......2007-04-10

The tracks on this CD are calm and peaceful, perfect for most Yoga routines. I personaly like a music thats a little funkier, but for those who like a slower beat and a more contemplative mood, this CD is for you.

Just what I was looking for.......2007-02-07

This is beautiful music, very relaxing and just perfect for a Yoga class. My first Yoga teacher used this music and I loved it. Now that I'm in training to become one, I will use it for the enjoyment of my students. I used it for my presentation evaluation exam, and many of my peers wanted to know what this music was, they loved it as well

Not what I was hoping to get but I kept it........2006-11-04

Did not care for the selections on this CD.

Relaxing.......2006-06-26

Great yoga/meditation music! My mom just couldn't get into the "average" type of meditation music, but she uses this CD a lot. She finds it very relaxing.
