There
are so many new types of yoga today and so many new types
of music it is sometimes hard to know what music to marry
to what practices. For teachers and practitioners of traditional
raja/hatha and what used to be called ashtanga yoga this
CD from Jai Uttal is a lovely accompaniment to practice.
It mixes traditional Indian instrumentation and calls to
god with todays electronic elements in gentle ethereal tones.
Music for this type of practice should be an accompaniment
on the journey inward not a distraction, nor a leader of
emotions. It is a hard balance to find. Music that is pleasant
and interesting while it does not intrude on feeling your
breathe, body and soul. Jai Uttal who has been travelling
in yoga circles for over 30 years has made an offering that
does just that.
The overall CD is 76 minutes long so it is well
suited to use for a 90 minute practice with warm ups at the beginning and relaxation
at the end. Within the CD there are 5 individual tracks of varying lengths. The
first is just under 30 minutes. Two of the others are almost exactly 15 or 10
minutes, so if you want to use the music to time a guided relaxation, meditation
or a posture series selecting the correct track will make it possible in an unobtrusive
way.
