time management on the yoga mat

ever find yourself with your eyes on the clock rather than on your practice? when you're at home, there is usually no one there to tell you that it's been an hour, or you should really start winding down your flow because it's almost time to go to work...

consider this new cd music to your ears and the answer to your time management while on the mat. my yoga 2 go just launched its first cd of 60-minute continuous chill music with gongs at 1 & 3 minute intervals to keep your flow on track, plus a 15-minute meditation at the end.

the yogadeal: now through tax day (april 15th), get the my yoga 2 go cd for $10 (reg. $19.95); enter promo code MUSIC at checkout, offer is 1 per customer.

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 yogdeal: 4 fresh takes on albums worthy of asana flow - each for $17.

yoga playlist must-have - new norah jones!

chasing pirates, a new staple in my yoga playlist. norah jones is back & her album debuts on tuesday, november 17th! since it is an amazon exclusive (take that itunes bullies) you might as well go ahead & pre-order your download since there's no telling if it will make it to the land of apple.



yogadeal: melodic enjoyment on repeat for only $0.99 (or you can just press the play button & listen for free right now!).

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)!

genius - the musical stylist for your asana

ever get stuck when you are trying to make a playlist? have an idea of the perfect song for your asana practice, but want to make sure you have enough of the same audio candy for your entire practice?

the solution is simple, or rather - genius.

if you have iTunes (which i think most mac & pc-loving yogis do) - all you need to do is make sure your iTunes has been updated to version 8 and then activate the genius option. then once it is activated, select a song & click on the genius option (for more details click here). genius will work its magic with no help from you! it will select songs from your pre-existing library and poof your perfect playlist is born! genius is like your music stylist - similar to a wardrobe stylist who goes into your closet, switches things up a bit & poof you have a fabulous new wardrobe!

you can also share your fabulous playlists on iTunes with fellow yogis, friends & students by using iTunes iMix - it too is free!

now, it's time to shake your asana :)
