To The Beat Of My Heart



Anyone who knows me knows that I’m just a tad music obsessed.  And there’s certainly nothing more enjoyable than a yoga class accompanied by the soothing sounds of your favourite artists.  While I do love practicing to traditional Kirtan, flowing to the songs that you're into at the time really allow you to sink deeper into the poses, and connect with your body at a completely different level....at least i find that to be true. Whether you’re in a high intensity Vinyasa practice, or a slow relaxed restorative session, songs that put you in the mood….well…put you in the mood!

I’ve come up with a soundtrack of my personal favourite songs at the moment that suit a 60 minute practice, as well as a final mantra for a 5 minute savasana to bring your practice to a close. Enjoy!
