Yoga Zone - Music forYoga Practice

(Windham Hill WH01934-11391-2)

This superb collection is the companion album to "Yoga Zone- Music for Meditation". It is a well chosen collection of thirteen pieces than span from the 1984 to 1997, mainly well selected pieces from landmark Windham Hill releases of the late eighties and early ninties. United by their austere simplicity, these diverse pieces flow together beautifully for an entrancing journey.

The album opens with the beautiful "The White Spirit" from Uman's 1997 release, "Path" and flows on from there almost seamlessly for almost an hour. There are some of the brightest moments from the Windham Hill catalog represented here.Besides Uman, we are treated to selected compositions by Shadowfax, Michael Hedges, Patrick O'Hearn, Will Ackerman, Michael Manring, Nightnoise, Ray Lynch, Yanni, Phillip Aaberg, and Michael DiGrassi.

The cover art fits the music very well. By the time you reach the end of Music forYoga Practice, any sign of tension you may have had will likely be long gone The selections work together in a very cohesive soothing manner. The album gently slows down mental chatter, releasing stress and stimulating the imagination. This is a very relaxing and creative way to utilize stretching and yoga exercise. As you incorporate this album into your asanas, ( yoga exercises) you can greatly inhance its positive impact on your daily routine. Very effective!
