Products: Music for Relaxation and Yoga
Music can be a superb remedy to help you let go of stress and relax more deeply. When you listen to relaxing kinds of music over a period of time, your body often responds with a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure, a reduction of muscular tension, a lessening of anxiety levels, and a deepening of the relaxation response.
I have often been asked after an individual yoga session or yoga class about the music that was playing. Music adds beauty and tranquility to your yoga practice. I am including the most asked-after music among those attending individual or group sessions with me.
Draw on these CDs to help you relax or as a meditative backdrop to a gentle yoga practice.
Buddha Garden
Parijat
Music that moves the heart and creates a sense of tranquility. Its gentle themes pivot around a softly finger-picked nylon-string guitar with currents of synthesizer chords in the background. The canon-like arrangement of the songs resonate nature's cycles. Peaceful, relaxed listening.
Chanting the Chakras: The Roots of Awakening
Layne Redmond
In the sound yoga tradition, sacred music is valued for its power to attune and balance our energies. Chanting the Chakras combines drumming with authentic chant to retune the body's 7 vital energy centers and encourage inner awareness. Chant along - or simply listen - whenever you need to rejuvenate and center yourself. Includes a 24-page booklet with diagrams and complete explanations of the chants. Exquisite and absolutely delightful! One of my favorites.
