Power Flow/Vinyasa Music Playlist from 11/28/13

This is another 1.5 hour playlist for a vinyasa/power flow yoga practice. One slow song for grounding, a few songs with a slower beat for sun salutations, up tempo funk-style songs for standing postures, and slower songs for seated and surrender postures.  The final chant is intended to be for savasana.

Things to know:

There are two songs missing that I couldn't find on Amazon.  The first is "Ode to Ganesha" by Bhagavad Das from the album Now.  It goes between the songs "Makyen Ghrir Allah" and "Dil Da Rog Muka Ja Mahi."  The second missing song is "Heaven" by Brandi Carlile.  It goes between the songs "Makambo" and " Le ciel dans un chambre."

The final chant by Craig Pruess and Ananda Devi is also really nice for a sound meditation.

Power Flow/Vinyasa Yoga Music Playlist 6/26/14

I get many requests for my music playlists, so here is my latest!

Things to know:

• The first song Draupadi was a little long for my warmup sequence, so I cut it to exactly 5 minutes when I play it for a yoga class.

• The second song Guru Mantra seemed a little slow for sun salutations, so I sped up the tempo a bit.

• There is one song missing that I couldn't find on Amazon, and that is Deep Sleep by Méditation from the album Meditation.  This song is on the playlist between Shri Krishna Govinda and Enter One.

• This playlist has the BEST SAVASANA SONG EVER!!!  It has a gentle beat that sounds and feels like a slow heartbeat, and listening to the song actually slows your resting heart rate!  This is why it is so great for savasana (paraphrased from Wikipedia): "On 16 October 2011, Marconi Union created "Weightless", in collaboration with the British Academy of Sound Therapy. According to scientists at the Mindlab institution, it induced a 65% reduction in overall anxiety and brought test subjects' resting pulse rates to 35% of their usual resting rates."  To hear the low beat, you need to have a high quality stereo, preferably with a subwoofer.
