This album is intended to help facilitate the perfect flow to accompany an hour-long yoga class but can be used for many other personal practices and group activities. It's great music for any active, moving meditation or focused relaxation.
Things to enjoy while listening to it: cooking, socializing, stretching, dancing, staying calm while driving, working, getting a massage, relaxing, self-reflecting, loving, and living...
May you enjoy it as much as we did making it!

ALBUM REVIEWS
"My favorite album of the year! Your album is the most beautiful music I ever heard... I have been singing with it everyday. So centering and sensitive, the gentle grooves made of shakers and metal drums are a perfect accompaniment for the voice or any other instrument. The beauty of this sound journey is that it awakens your musical life to the power of participation, and is open to all levels of listening. Jason is a master of entrainment, and in this album offers us both the time and the steady pulse to transcend all conditions and listen to the creative-self we're born with." ~ Silvia Nakkach, MA, MMT (Grammy-nominated composer)
"AMAZING album for yoga!!!" ~ Julie Bolduc (Yoga Practitioner)
"My students have been loving your music..." ~ Beth Zygielbaum (Leela Yoga)
"The first time I listened to it, I was hypnotized into a deep trance... It was powerful and beautiful." ~ Barbara Rose (Spiritual Counselor)
"This soundscape is outstanding. Its rhythmic groundswells are punctuated with occasional crystalline bell tones that summon the meditative listener to attention, keeping him or her awake, while still in a trancelike calm. Highly recommended." ~ DCL (Author)
"...beautiful and powerful, spirited and true... The recording and the musicianship are pristine and masterful and the songs are rich, deep and definitely take one on a journey--well worth the ride!" ~ Travis Wernet (Dream Worker)
"Love my cd--this is a fabulous cd to play while relaxing, reading, or doing just about anything!!" ~ Laura Jorgensen
