I still remember the first time I ever went to a yoga class where the music played was entirely classical (thank you Brent Morton!) It was revolutionary to me - I felt completely at peace as the music became part of my practice. I do enjoy some french ballads every now and then, along with Pink Martini and a random CD of mystery chants. For special occasions I'll pull out Buxtehude - an amazing baroque composer. As I work on some playlists for this week's classes, I find myself returning to a mixture of old favorites. I'm always amazed that after a month of festive music, everything else seems new again in January. Like my home after I take down the tree and put the furniture back in its normal place -- vaguely familiar, yet fresh. A bit of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (Winter), some Yo-Yo Ma, Pink Martini's La Soledad and a lovely little instrumental piece from Coeur de pirate. Just a few songs I'm piecing together for tomorrow...
