Synopsis

Album Description
"Whether you teach active yoga or just enjoy practicing yoga in your home, this is perfect to keep you moving." -ACCENT WEEKLY "This is not your mother?s yoga music Composed/performed/produced by DJ Free, his keyboards, Native flute and distinctive chanting flow along grooves laid down by master percussionist Brent Lewis?the overall feel is richly layered, a kind of primal naturalness mixed with an edgy urbanity. If one?s style of yoga, dance, or movement is highly energetic, this could be the perfect motivator." -NAPRA REVIEW "On Ice...DJ Free and Peter Schimke made sure all their musical chromosomes were properly aligned before hauling in a posse of luminaries, local and otherwise, to put the glisten on their first non-soundtrack collaboration. even as a simple augmented duo, the programming whiz and keyboardist-around-town slide accross genre boundaries with Olympic-caliber grace, mixing potentially unwieldy elements - shuffly house-music tectonics, serious jazz piano, and high-disco string pyrotechnics - as though they were water." -CITY PAGES Award winning artist Soulfood (Best IMAX Score) and master percussionist Brent Lewis join forces to create the follow-up to the best selling Yoga Rhythm. Rhythmic percussion by master percussionist Brent Lewis, who has studied with drum masters from around the world; has performed with a long list of artists (Smokey Robinson, Grateful Dead, Joe Cocker); can be heard on Oliver Stone?s JFK and three IMAX scores; and composed for the Australian Ballet. Keyboards by classically trained, acclaimed jazz pianist Peter Schimke, who has provided musical direction for Academy Award nominee David Lynch and Julee Cruise. Rhythmic percussion, keyboards, bass, flutes, woodwinds, chants and exotic instrumentation create the prefect backdrop to a yoga class or that after-yoga get-together. Yoga/movement practitioners consulted in the creation of the music!
 

CD Reviews

Excellent for Yoga, Movement, Dance or just Chilling Out!
T. Jacques | US | 04/14/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Excellent for Yoga, Movement, Dance or just Chilling Out! I first heard this at "Present Moment Retreat" (Yoga & Meditation retreat) in Troncones Beach, Mexico. They were mixing/testing it in Mexico before it was released. Our daily high energy Yoga class was the first to use it & the instructor asked us for feedback. Amazing it the first word that came to mind! It made the class more enjoyable. Now I listen to it in class, while at home or in the car. Nice Chill/Ambient vibe!"
Yoga Music for Everyone

"This is a great CD for a class setting. Its NOT distracting (i.e. loud chanting or singing). I get compliments every time I play this in my classes."
Great active Yoga music
Myrna Patterson | 03/16/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Excellent CD for powerful, athletic yoga practice. The first and final tracks are mellow and great for warm up and cool-down meditation periods. The other tracks are active, exotic and fun without being distracting or brassy. A favorite of my yoga classes!"
