Yoga Music

Music is a really important part of my yoga practice. Just hearing some sitar in the background instantly brings me to a centered, calm place where I want to roll out my mat and dive into some sun salutations. I have struggled over the past couple of years to find high quality music that is appropriate for yoga and meditation. Some of the stuff out there can be pretty cheesy. I’ve created some playlists of my own from random stuff I’ve found on ITunes, but have never been able to find a focused source for the sounds and vibrations I crave. Until today…

OmStream.com is the source I’ve been looking for. They feature music for yoga, meditation, lounging, and more. They have all the good Kundalini music, kirtan stuff, Tibertian singing bowls, and even music for different styles or pacing of an asana practice. I’ll be dropping some serious ka-ching on this site! Check it out. And let me know what kind of yoga music you are into and where you get it. I’m always looking for recommendations.

Krishna Das is always good for an easy yoga music fix. I also really like Shiva Rea's compliations. For meditation, I love my "Eternal Om" CD. The album "Savasana" by Wah! is awesome for relaxation. Plus any band that uses punctuation as part of their band name has got to be amazing.

Catherine, who is the artist on your 'Eternal Om' CD? I have found multiple albums on Amazon with that same title and worried that I'll buy the wrong one. The one I like begins with roughly three male voices at different pitches overlaying their chants of 'Om.'

Which Krishna Das album do you like? I've heard 'Prana' is fantastic.
