My Yoga Practice Playlist: Charlie Samos

My playlist for classes vary from good ol' rock & roll, to reggae and folk -- often beginning and ending with instrumental music from different native lands. Music itself can change the mood of the class and I try and make the playlist coincide with the mood I want at that particular moment in class. Songs can be uplifting or inspiring, powerful, and stirring. They can also engulf and enlighten, causing a spiritual response that will often lead the student into a relaxed, soul searching mood. The right music will say, what our minds can not say, but what our hearts feel.
