the meditator's mix tape

with mix tapes & now even cds, things of the past, the underlying theme still remains - making a thoughtful compliation of music for someone you care for truly, madly &/or deeply. modern meditations has taken it one step further, creating unique renditions of top tunes from today's (& yesterday's) pop culture. with a tag line of breathe in, rock out plus songs from coldplay, the beatles, u2, & radiohead, they may have just tapped yogi & yogini's infinite playlist.

the nu shortcut to finding music for your yoga playlist

in search of some fresh tunes to add to your yoga soundtrack or for mellowing to get you into the meditation mood? i just stubbled upon nutone, a great music site. consider it your 'nu' route to finding yoga music & yes, it does link to itunes & amazon so you won't have to add any additional software to your computer, because we all know that yogis aren't always the most tech-savvy.

do you have any must-have songs on your playlist? please share 'em in the comments section!

yoga deal: sample these tunes before committing, buy only the songs that sing to your mind, body & soul (per usual, they are only a buck each)!
