Deep Peace by Todd Norian. Created for audiences of any age by a nationally renowned yoga instructor and musician, these soothing piano and soft string improvisations were rated excellent for creating a healing environment by many premier yoga instructors and massage therapists.

Shavasana. Max Strom is the co-founder of Sacred Movement Center for Yoga & Healing, one of the premier yoga studios in the United States. White Swan Records asked Max to provide us with some of the special music he uses in his classes for shavasana, or deep relaxation. According to Max: Shavasana is the final relaxation pose we do at the end of our Hatha Yoga practice. We simply lay on our back, spread open the limbs a bit and close our eyes. Here, we intentionally release all effort and concentration as we finally surrender to the present moment, like someone returning home after a long journey. As our prana (life-force) radiates, we feel like energy is moving throughout our body--and that is, in fact, what is happening. The energy meridians are open and we feel the weight of the world lift from our chest. My music selections for shavasana are always gentle, ethereal and nurturing. With music for yoga still in great demand, SHAVASANA will satisfy yogis seeking the ideal sound for winding down their daily practice. This calming set of beautiful pieces is especially selected by Max for repose, meditation, and healing work. SHAVASANA's quiet world exemplifies the saying "still waters run deep."

Yoga Shakti is inarguably one of the best yoga products on the market. Instructor-creator Shiva Rea, a California-based yogi of considerable international renown, specializes in vinyasa yoga (a vinyasa is essentially a series of flowing, connected poses, incorporating breath and movement and cultivating heat, strength, flexibility, and balance). Four complete practices are presented, ranging in length from 42 to 85 minutes and including Basic Flow (for beginners), two more vigorous Solar Flow sequences, and a Lunar Flow sequence falling somewhere in the middle in terms of degree of difficulty; familiar poses like sun salutations, forward bends, lunges, twists, and inversions are featured, although Rea adds many of her own touches (such as the four "dancing warrior" sections, sun salutation variations designed for intermediate users and focusing on hips, backbends, and so on), and there are also sections devoted to pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. It's all good, but the principal innovation of Yoga Shakti is the "yoga matrix," which allows users to customize and program their own workouts, drawing on portions of any or all of the four sequences to create series of various lengths and levels of intricacy (some guidelines are suggested for the less experienced) and thus keep their practices fresh and evolving. One can also do the various workouts with or without the instruction audio track on (the Indian-New Age-flavored music is quite good, and usually unobtrusive), and there's even an entire second disc, containing interviews, additional instruction, travel footage (filming took place primarily in India and the Maldive Islands), and more.
Shiva Rea's Lunar Flow Yoga. For centuries, yogis have learned to draw from the invigorating ernergy of the sun. But there is another approach that invites the rejuvenating energy of the moon, through a spectrum of practices to enjoy the lunar approach to yoga - calming, fluid and connected. Now, international yoga teacher Shiva Rea offers Luna Flow Yoga - an instructional DVD with an easy-to use menu for designing your own practice, from hip openers to backbends, all offered in a meditative, slower-paced rhythm that is appropriate for any time of day. Filmed on stunning Cocoa Island and in Keral, India, Shiva guides both beginning and intermediate students through a flow of vinyasas to experience a dynamic transformation that is both balancing and rejuvanating.
