Gotye Mixed Blood CD - Import

As an alternative to the ubiquitous instructional yoga DVD, which requires that your environment be equipped with a television or computer, this unique yoga CD is a completely auditory session, which allows the versatility of practicing yoga anywhere you can take a boom box. Singer/songwriter Angela Carole Brown, who has already established her voice from two decades in the music business and through her experimental folk and jazz recordings, has also been a student and practitioner of the Hatha, Kundalini, and Vinyasa yoga disciplines, as well as Pranayama (breath work), for 17 years. The decision to develop and produce this CD came out of her own needs as a yoga consumer. As far as she could find, there were few, if any, yoga CDs. They were all DVDs, where you have a visual instructor in front of you, as you would in a class. But what if you want to be able to close your eyes and go even deeper within? Difficult to do when you keep having to look up at a TV screen, sometimes in the middle of a challenging asana, to see what the teacher is doing next. Angela quickly discovered that CDs were not considered advantageous because it seems to be the consensus that people want to see what poses look like. But she maintains that all it really takes is a thorough, mindful, and articulate communication of the sequence, and you can effectively guide someone through any kind of movement and instruction. With the help of an extraordinary group of musicians, THE GLOBAL FOLK, with whom Angela has collaborated for many years, and who have created a breathtaking canon of ambient music just for the occasion, Angela has created a one-hour-plus yoga-mindfulness experience, which includes relaxation techniques, Sun Salutations, strength asanas, chakra work, and meditation, which can be practiced as a whole or in individual sections, and which can be taken anywhere, for your convenience. And in this world of swiftly accruing noise, industry, machines, and devices which can "distract humanity from the essence of life," as the painter and poet Jean Arp once said, who couldn't use a little calming and centering?
