The CD combines songs used by Sean Johnson, yoga instructor, musician, and founder of New Orleans' Wild Lotus Yoga, in his yoga classes, with recordings found by Putumayo in a global research. The result is a musical flow which provides a relaxing soundtrack while at work, driving your car, or while cooking in your kitchen, in addition of course to work perfectly during yoga practice (as I have been assured by friends, as I am not currently practicing yoga.)
My favorite track is "Sira', by Senegalese singer Ablaye Cissoko, with trumpet accompaniment by German musician Volker Goetze.
Yoga features renowned musicians from around the world, such as Krishna Das, who is the best-known US performer of traditional Indian kirtan-style music; British-born, South Indian artist Susheela Raman, who duets with Kenyan singer Ayub Ogada ('O Rama'); Costa Rican group Amounsulu ('El Bosque Eterno de los Niños' (The Children’s Eternal Forest); celebrated western devotional musician Wah! ('Bolo Ram'), and the Sean Johnson and the Wild Lotus Band '('Om Hari Om/Sharanam Ganesha' [Refuge.])
In addition, Yoga also features the collaborative world fusion group The Lucknow Project, US kirtan artist Gaura Vani and As Kindred Spirits, renowned producer/musician Ben Leinbach and percussionist Geoffrey Gordon, bhajan and kirtan singer Karnamrita Dasi and British producer Niraj Chag. Rounding out this eclectic collection are Swedish musician and teacher Yogini, Senegalese singer Ablaye Cissoko with German trumpeter Volker Goetze, husband and wife duo Shantala and Bhutanese monk Lama Gyurme with French pianist Jean-Philippe Rykiel.
