CD Reviews
Excellent for Yoga, Movement, Dance or just Chilling Out!
T. Jacques | US | 04/14/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Excellent for Yoga, Movement, Dance or just Chilling Out! I first heard this at "Present Moment Retreat" (Yoga & Meditation retreat) in Troncones Beach, Mexico. They were mixing/testing it in Mexico before it was released. Our daily high energy Yoga class was the first to use it & the instructor asked us for feedback. Amazing it the first word that came to mind! It made the class more enjoyable. Now I listen to it in class, while at home or in the car. Nice Chill/Ambient vibe!"
Yoga Music for Everyone

"This is a great CD for a class setting. Its NOT distracting (i.e. loud chanting or singing). I get compliments every time I play this in my classes."
Great active Yoga music

"Excellent CD for powerful, athletic yoga practice. The first and final tracks are mellow and great for warm up and cool-down meditation periods. The other tracks are active, exotic and fun without being distracting or brassy. A favorite of my yoga classes!"
Great Stuff

"Some of the songs are peaceful background music for yoga or contemplation and some are exotic dance tunes. A wonderful fusion of different cultures and beats. I'm glad I have it. Makes a great gift for your tough-to-buy-for friends and family... or for yourself!

Peaceful yet exotic!

"I have bought 8-9 other CDs with this one, many a disappointment sadly. When I received the Yoga Groove, I was thinking "here we go again!" until I heard the first song. Intoxicating, healing, dream invoking, smooth flowing music - great for yoga, relaxation or just for every day use. I often use it during my hectic car ride to work, very soothing.
I also use it during prenatal yoga. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do."
