Yoga Playlist- 4/6/13
I woke up on Saturday feeling super energetic and having planned a slow flow hip opener class… I had some work to do. I made a new playlist and we still worked on hip openers but it was much more energetic than originally planned and I had all female students that day so we were able to talk about Lady Power, holding so much emotion in our Sacral Chakra region and getting watery and fluid for spring! It was a super fun class…. here is the playlist. (side note: I regret using the LOTR song for savasana, I was thinking of Galadriel when I chose it, but as it played, it seemed a little too… Epic. Ah well, we can’t win em all!)
Enjoy!

Welcoming Spring- Yoga Class 3/23/13
A big thank you to my teacher Laurel who introduced me to this poem years ago! It has stuck with me and was a joy to share with my students on Saturday. At this transition from winter to spring I am always seeking bright colors and reminders that soon the snow will be melted and we will see color.
When watching a child play, you know that they are still filled with and exuding their highest self. Even if you are not a yogi, you are aware of their wonder and joy. It is something that we are all born with and sadly, forget. We then spend the rest of our lives trying to remember it.
Remembering spring, remembering our highest selves and remembering Sri.
In the time of daffodils
Who know the goal of living is to grow
Forgetting why; Remember how
In the time of lilacs
Who proclaim the aim of waking is to dream
Forgetting seem; Remember So
In the time of roses
Who amaze our now and here with paradise
Forgetting if; Remember yes
In the time of all sweet things
Beyond whatever mind may comprehend
Forgetting find; Remember seek
And in mystery to be
When time from time shall set us free
Forgetting me; Remember me
~e.e. cummings
In our class we starting with a short and sweet Yin-like practice and continued with a slow flow Vinyasa. Tree was our apex!
This was the soundtrack:

Yoga Class Playlist from 3/2/13
Here is the playlist from last Saturday… funny that it was a class with the theme of staying grounded and rooted to the earth, and everything was such a jumble! I forgot my notebooks including class notes and itunes was NOT cooperating with my playlist editing. So we just went with what the universe handed us and ended up feeling exactly what we needed to. If you don’t see a link to a song here it is because it was in one of my other posted Playlists. Enjoy!
- Creature Fear Bon Iver
- Starlight Muse
- Bloom Deya Dova
- No Woman No Cry Xavier Rudd
- Boy with a Coin Iron and Wine
- Smile Vitamin C
- The Littlest Birds Be Good Tanyas
- The Devils Paintbrush Road The Wailin Jennys
- Coconut Harry Nilsson
- Such Great Heights The Postal Service
- Baba Hanuman Krishna Das
If you were in my prenatal class we did Elegy by Lisa Gerrard instead of Krishna Das.
Yoga Class Playlist 2/23/13
This was a core strengthening class, and I loved the way that all these songs flowed together! It seems too, that I am unable at the moment to break away from GBA for the apex of class.
“The core is what supports us spiritually in our lives and physically in our yoga practice. If our core is weak, the ups and downs of life are much harder to take. A strong core makes us resilient.”~Desiree Rumbaugh
As you were coming into class you may have heard one of these songs:
Lakes of Pontchartrain by The Be Good Tanyas
During class… this was the line up:
Long Time Traveller by The Wailin’ Jennys
In Circles by Sunny Day Real Estate
Enjoy!

- Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men
