[...] Music and Yoga « Nadine Fawell I play ambient calm music as a background to teaching. This is partly because I have a soft voice and have trouble projecting it over music with more vibe, and partly because people have told me that they find music [...]

I love the Pure Love Project, too. And I love, love, love E-Music. I blogged about it last year.

The music is so much cheaper than ITunes and so much great yoga music on there. Some recent finds:

Scott Louden Space/Time
Mystic Sun: Deeperworlds
DJ Free & Brent Lewis: Yoga Groove

I’m still jealous that I couldn’t get to Mark’s Sydney gig – but have sneaky thoughts to go and see him wherever he is winter next year. He is awesome. The real deal.

Sounds like Linda Sama is having the Mark Whitwell experience as well. How lucky is that! I am double jealous (in the nicest way).

Hey, I’m coming to Melbourne in August, I should arrange to come and meet you for coffee or come to one of your classes (if you teach on Saturdays anywhere)

actually some of my fave music to yoga to is jazz: Alice Coltrane (who was a yogini) and Miles Davis.

LOL at your comment about people questioning your musical taste. I admit to not listening to anything at home during yoga practice because I thought it might be too distracting. That is, not until I read your post today!

I had a quick listen to the Laura Veirs link … acoustic guitar, poetic lyrics, and female vocal … I like!

I think I might try listening to music in my yoga practise with this group:

Take care

Nadine! Was with Mark today, and will be again tomorrow. All I will say is: Oh. my. god.

Totally resonated with him and the weird thing was (ok, maybe not so weird) is that he gave me (and he did not do this with everyone) “darshan”, so to speak.

oh yeah… I don’t use music anymore…..but I WILL get Mark’s!

Hi Nadine,

This is cool. It’s quite early. I have been awake a while and the first thought I had when I woke up was wondering about your post on music and how much I was looking forward to reading your thoughts whenever you got the chance to write on the topic. So I log on to check email and read some stuff and your post on music is here. So cool.

I’m tripping abit on this post, I think it’s exactly what I would have said. Yes to the album ‘At Ease’ I play that when I am giving shiatsu often. Yes to music snobs questioning my taste, that’s the point when I normally start stressing just how much I love Fleetwood Mac and Elton John. Yes to Thievery Corporation and Laura Veirs (hello music snobs, we’re not doing too badly).

I also often choose music free for the exact same reason, sensory over-load. Thanks for sharing, maybe one day we can do a practice together and share our playlists. xox

Hi, Nadine, how are you?
I love “Spirit of Yoga”. I think it’s a very nice album to practice with.I’ve had it for a long time. I had a teacher who played Sigur Ros very often and I liked it very much. Tori Amos’ is not my kind of music. I’ll check on the others you’ve mentioned. Yes, I think sometimes music can be very helpful to our practice bringing a nice “vibe”. Thanks for the post!
