Winter Solstice Meditation TeleCall

The Winter Solstice is upon us, and this is what I got in my newsletter from my yoga hero - Shiva Rea today.

• a) Invitation to the Winter Solstice Meditation teleCall (free), which I'm happily sharing with you too. To register - go HERE.
• b) Instruction before the start:

'If you are joining us for our Winter Solstice Meditation tomorrow night, please have your journal and two candles – one that has been lit already from the year for the beginning of the call and the unlit candle for during the meditation. Set-up your altar space as we open to the new alignment and Uttarayana (six months till the Summer Solstice) cycle of auspiciousness.'

Don't miss the call: Thursday, December 22, 2011 6:00pm PT / 9:00pm ET - 1 hour

Music in yoga class

I was thinking to collect here a different perspective and experience about yoga music for classes. Let's start by posting favorite artists or tracks...

• Jai Uttal - Nataraja - this is one of my favorite tracks today.
• Anugama - Tantric Day 
• Sade - Cherish the day  - I love her voice, rythm, personality, everything and do vinyassa in my private sadhana) Can this music go in class, what do you think???
