Andrea's Favorite Yoga CDs
Rhythms of the Chakras, Glen Velez
Drumming for the body's energy centers; steady, earthy beats for the body of your practice
Sounds True, 800-333-9185
Namaste, Mix
2 discs, one with music and the other with a mediation. All lovely. Peaceful and powerful for the body of your practice, for Savasana, for mediation and massage. Everyone who hears this cd asks me about it.
Real Music, 415-331-8273
Japa, Dave Stringer
Kirtan chanting music. Five tracks, very energetic and rhythmic. Features guest musicians and vocalists such as Toni Childs and Seane Corn. I often use it to get me up off my mat from resting and into flow in the beginning of my practice.
Dave Stringer or CD Baby
Breath of the Heart, Krishna Das
Powerful, deep vocals with very rhythmic music. A great CD from a very energizing practice.
Door of Faith, Krishna Das
Chanting with powerful instrumentation. Krishna Das has a rich and moving voice. This cd is slower than "Breath of the Heart" and for me more useable as a whole cd for practice as it doesn't get as frenetic.
Triloka Records
Refuge, Gabrielle Roth and the Mirrors, featuring Boris Grebenshikov
This cd has been a main stay for me for years. Never gets stale and is great for all kinds of practice. Peaceful and energetic at the same time. Worl beat percussion and add Boris' voice which is big, deep and old and Tibetan chants find a whole new place. Many people ask about this cd.
Raven Recording
Savasana, Wah!
This cd is a must for me Her voice is silky, rich and healing, singing in Sanskrit. Vocal style is smooth and steady, intended for savasana and to create a deep level of relaxation. Perfect for opening and closing an active practice, for meditation and massage, or to inspire a slow flow. A collection of chants designed for deep relaxation using harmonium, tamboura, violin, flute, bass, and free-flowing vocals.
Wah! Music
Tantric Heart, Music for Lovers, Shastro
2 tracks each 20-25 minutes long. Peaceful, sensual instrumental. Wonderful for massage, and for restorative practice.
Malimba Records
Om Namah Shivaya, Master Charles Cannon
Zony, meditative, healing. Essential savasana cd! One long track of his voice chanting, whispering "Om Namah Shivaya", a Sanskrit mantra meaing "I bow to God". The music is subtle and steady , with chimes and water sounds. It feels earth connected, not synthesizerish.
