EarthRise Yoga Playlist 6.12 - 6.18.11

Every week in EarthRise Yoga a new sequence emerges, along with a new soundtrack for those movements. This week the focus is on ankle dexterity and joint mobility, along with a healthy dose of twisting. The music keep things moving with a heavy dose of reggae, cumbia, and a new EarthRise SoundSystem single, ending with one of my favorites by the late, great poet Gil Scott-Heron.
