I was not into "yoga with music" until I heard this CD. It's a great resource for both teachers and home-practice. Each track has been loosely composed for standing, forward bends, sun salutes, etc and allows you to program your CD player accordingly for a perfect background. It helps you reach deeper practice, it never dominates and through clever layering, reinforces breath focus throughout. Think Kruder & Dorfmeister meet asana practice. Buy it.

I heard this at a yoga class about two years ago, bought it and now it is my "go to" CD for relaxing and destressing. I listen to it before sleeping, driving and at work and I both enjoy the music and the serenity coming from listening to it. It works great in the order recorded but I ripped it to my Ipod and it works equally well when you use shuffle. Highly recommend it if you enjoy music and are looking for something to transport you to a relaxing place.

I found a goodly number of these otherworldly, ethereal, New Age tracks with their acoustic rhythms (I am a New Age fan relatively new to regular yoga practice) very inspirational and motivational, to the point where the listener can "choreograph" a progression of movements using Yoga (or dance, for that matter).

These tracks also make for good listening music, so the CD does double duty. I found Track 6, "Illusion" an incredible journey for the ears, with its variety of string, percussive and wind instruments. Track 8, "Exit from Eden" seemed to go on too long, over 9 minutes, but it reprised the theme of the CD very well.

Excellent CD!
