I sometimes play it during yoga, but I mostly play it as a soothing background to anything I do around the house. I've searched for other "mellow" CDs I like as much as this one -- have yet to find one.』
(calm yoga) 『This is very good, Has a calming effect whether doing yoga are just clearing the mind. This is a yes.』
(Excellent) 『Excellent for savasana at the end of yoga practice. I especially like the 4th song. I've been teaching yoga for 10 years and this is one of my favorites.』
(Very Relaxing and Spiritual) 『I find that this cd is very helpful in relaxing and feeling like I am "getting my head together". It may not be the greatest for yoga but I found it good for a meditation of thinking and being distracted from my own thoughts.
It took me a few times to listen to it to really appreciate it. Now, I enjoy it enough to play everyday or several times when at home. I use it to unwind.』
(Not A Big Fan) 『I like to have natural sounds or some type of 'yoga style' music while I'm either practicing yoga or just trying to relax. This CD just didn't fit. There are a few ok 'songs' but the rest of it is either too fast/upbeat or there's too much talking/chanting. I found myself distracted when I put this CD on.』

I would suggest this album not only to yoga gurus but to people who want to wind down after a long day at work or traveling. Great stuff.』
(Groovin' Yoga Tunes!) 『I really like this album! Great uplifting feel to the music. I like that some songs have a little groove, unlike a lot of yoga music.』
(a little disappointing) 『I was a little disappointed with the choice of music in this mix. I teach yoga and I love having a variety of musicians in one class, however this CD seems to jump from soft to bouncy to chanty sounds. I would prefer a smoother flow from song to song to build the energy up and then settle down at the end. It seems like a bumpy selection to me.』 『Cyndi Lee, founder of NY's legendary OM Yoga Center, once again brings her eclectic tastes and offbeat perspective to yoga music.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Helped tremendously with school anxiety!) 『I hope to put into words how transformational this CD is. My 8 year old son has a lot of anxiety due in part to his reading disability. So whenever I introduce a new concept to him (home charter school), he immediately thinks he can't do it, he gets extremely frustrated, and gives up before even trying. Awful. I was desperate to find something to help, and I knew something like Indigo Dreams had to exist. Lucky for us, I found it. I downloaded it in MP3 format right away. My husband was very skeptical, but he knew we had to give it a try. I prepared a small alcove off of our living room to create a "relaxation station". I painted it chocolate brown, brought in a couple of live leafy plants, set a dark green cushion on the floor, along with a few coordinating pillows. I set up his CD player with headphones, and explained to my son that during school, I will set aside time whenever needed for relaxation station. He was excited to try it out. So on the first day of school, he got overwhelmed with his phonics lesson. He got through the lesson though, knowing that he would get down time. So shortly after, off he went to relaxation station. He was sitting up on the cushion, against the pillows. Literally, ten minutes later, he was nestled in, and sound asleep. He LOVES "The Angry Octopus". That is his favorite. He says that he uses his imagination to see the story. When the octopus is angry, he feels angry too. And when the octopus breathes to calm himself, he does it too. He sees colors and the characters and the environment. He loves the sounds of the ocean. He says that it relaxes him and makes him feel good. Since using relaxation station on an as needed basis, my son no longer has the outbursts as I described earlier. He still gets frustrated from time to time, but now he is becoming an eager learner! He is progressing in school like never before! There are still challenges, but this CD helped remove one of the barriers, which was anger/frustration. Awesome! I have recommended this to elementary teachers, special education teachers, and physical and occupational therapists. I have recommended it to moms of kids who are perfectionists or have anxiety or anger issues or are highly sensitive. I am so glad I found this product. Even my skeptical husband admitted to its success. :) My 6 year old daughter also enjoys this CD. She especially likes the breathing exercises. Although she does not share the same challenges as her brother, she still does benefit from the stories. I would highly recommend this to parents, teachers, therapists, and specialists who work with children.』
(Brilliant) 『This entire CD has been a wonderful boon for my children, especially my 8 year old daughter who has suffered from nightmares and had trouble going to sleep. The tracks are very calming and age appropriate, the imagery is fun and supports positive self esteem and connection with others.
I would recommend this to any parent as a wonderful reinforcer of positive feelings when your child is relaxing or preparing for bed.
beautifully done!』
(sleep aid!) 『my four year old chooses between the 'blue' and the 'purple' cd to listen to as he falls asleep, these have even outdone the Polar Express he had been listening to! calming and soothing- i'm not sure who loves them more- he or I!!!!』
(a miracle) 『This cd is a miracle. I have a four year old and a six year old who have a very difficult time falling asleep and allowing themselves to relax. It is a struggle every night. If I didn't see this for myself, I would have never believed it. Within ten minutes, both of my children were fast asleep. Lori's voice is very relaxing and I can't wait to order another cd.』
(Wonderful product) 『My son is 10 and has ADD, needless to say going to sleep at night has always been a battle. Up and down, I need water, etc.... His therapist recommended buying him a meditation cd. I can to this website and took a chance on this cd, it has been amazing. He can't go a night without it now, he needs this cd to help fall asleep. He does all the exercises and is usually asleep by track 3. Wonderful product, even for a 10 year old boy!!!』 『Indigo Ocean Dreams is a 60 minute CD/audio book designed to entertain your child in an ocean setting while introducing them to four relaxation and stress-management techniques. Children follow their sea friends along as they learn to release and manage anger with Angry Octopus, build self-esteem with Affirmation Weaver, implement Yoga breathing with Sea Otter Cove and visualize with Bubble Riding. Designed as the sequel to Indigo Dreams, this CD offers longer stories and expands on the relaxation techniques of breathing, visualizations, muscular relaxation and affirmations. Ideal for older children ages 6-12, or as step two for those already familiar with Indigo Dreams. Engaging characters present these adult level techniques in an easy to follow format that makes it fun for any child to learn. The narration is accompanied by calming sounds of dolphins, sea otters and gentle waves. An additional music sound track is included to further enhance your child's relaxation experience.

The flow was consistent and I found Jon's instruction to be inspiring, enlightening, and soothing. This is a great class for anyone wanting a home practice.

Tranquility Productions
Usually ships in 24 hours 『These four traditional guided Yoga meditation practices of 3, 7, 11, and 30 minutes are for those who want to gain a solid foundation practice in traditional meditation that will lead to advanced meditation. By repeatedly following these basic practices, meditation will naturally deepen, gradually leading to the direct experience of the pure consciousness and joy, which is beyond the mind.
These are authentic renderings of meditation as taught in the Himalayas by the masters of traditional Yoga meditation. The methods are consistent with authentic meditation teachings of the most respected instruction manuals, including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and Vedanta meditation of the Upanishads. These guided meditations integrate both mindfulness and concentration meditation, and lead one towards kundalini awakening and the enlightened state of samadhi through the path of meditation.
Each of the four meditations follows the same systematic approach, although they are of different lengths to match your time available and your personal inclination. They each guide your attention inward through the levels of your own body, breath, and mind, allowing your awareness to come to rest in a very relaxed state of deep stillness and silence. This systematic approach of self-awareness is one of the most direct and effective forms of meditation.
Simply decide how long you would like to spend with your meditation, and choose the 3, 7, 11, or 30 minute guided practice. You will discover for yourself that calmness, serenity, and peace of mind can be experienced in even a few minutes.
Following the custom of the ancient sages, the depth of Yoga meditation comes from inner awareness of the levels of your own self, rather than by diverting attention through music, as pleasant as music can be. Therefore, there is intentionally no music in these recordings. This inner exploring through self-awareness is a more refined form of meditation that leads you deeper into the stillness and silence of your own being.
Gently focus your attention on each of the aspects of yourself as the voice guides you, including awareness of your body, then your breath, then your mind, and then beyond. Allow all of the other thoughts, emotions, sensations, images, or impressions to come. It is the nature of the mind for thoughts to come. It is also natural for them to go. As your attention moves systematically inward, you gradually learn to remain undisturbed, unaffected, and uninvolved by the streams of thoughts as they naturally rise and fall. Even a few minutes of stillness and silence, every day, is a very nice gift to give your self.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Great music, not a whole ton of traditional yoga asanas) 『I love the music on this CD, so I definitely think of it as a worthwhile buy. However, the workout itself is a complement to a regular yoga practice. It doesn't have at all the same feel you would get by going to a yoga class - it's more like Shiva uses yoga principles to put you in a place where you can trance dance. Personally, I enjoy the structure of traditional yoga, so this workout may not be for me. That said, I really, really love the music, and it's great that she includes a CD with just the music. I plan to do my own home yoga practice using that.』
(The most useful cd in my collection) 『I am very pleased with the purchase of this cd. Shivarea class has a process that took me to a deeper state of ecstatic meditation. She starts with invocation and prana conciousness, then moves on to bringing movement and fluidity to the spine. Free rhythmic grounded movements lead to trance dance. Prana yoga follows. The session ends with kirtan, and a beautiful prayer. Shivarea also brings Poetry to different sgments of her class. Simple and powerful...』
(Fabulous!) 『This is a low impact workout that gets your heart pumping yet manages to relax you at the same time. As a bellydancer, I found many connections between the circular, undulating and figure 8 movements in one of the trance dance sections with middle eastern dance. The music is Indian inspired and the second CD is lovely just to listen to and unwind.』
(Fabulous!) 『Geoffrey Gordon's music is awesome--the CD starts out with slow, hypnotic music that increases in intensity with each track. Shiva Rea's instructions are excellent, and trance dance is just plain fun. You start out with a fluid, flowing yoga series that gradually moves into an all-out free-form dance, then slows back down to yoga and total relaxation. It feels goooood! I love the fact that there are 2 CDs--one with instructions over the music, and one with music only.』 『Yoga and dance are two great rivers that lead us back into our bodies and rejuvenate us with prana– the vital energy of life. Yoga awakens the breath, fluidity of the spine, and inner power. Free-form trance dance cultivates natural movement, intuition, and creativity. Now, with Yoga Trance Dance anyone who loves yoga or dance can experience the benefits of both these traditions – in one energized workout.
On Disc one, Shiva Rea guides listeners through the same innovative methods that she offers at her acclaimed yoga retreats and workshops worldwide. Practitioners begin with creative flow yoga…move into the depths of ecstatic dance…and complete their session with moving meditation and chant. Disc Two contains just the music – a phenomenal full-length world trance dance album ideal for self-guided sessions, traditional yoga, or just great listening.
For those looking for a dynamic new way to enhance their range of motions, break through physical and energetic blockages, boost cardiovascular strength, and create a more positive relationship with one’s body, here’s the perfect program – Yoga Trance Dance.』
『Anusara Yoga 101 (Double CD Set) - John Friend
By all accounts this two-hour double CD is the most comprehensive, sophisticated and heart-opening yoga audio presentation ever produced. It is a detailed class/practice that covers the basic alignment principles of Anusara Yoga including Muscular Energy, Organic Energy, Inner&Outer Spiral, and key energy Loops. You can practice with both CDs from beginning to end for a complete practice that thoroughly covers major groups of poses such as standing poses, sun salutations, backbends, hip-openers, forward bends, twists, sitting meditation, and Savasana (deep relaxation). Or, you can use each disk as its own all-inclusive, one-hour practice routine. Each pose is self-contained on its own track on the CDs, so you can easily repeat, skip, shuffle, or index the various poses on each CD into your own custom routines. With over 40 different tracks on these 2 CDs, you can create an endless variety of customized postural sequences. The poses and the sequence are designed for all levels of students. The music of Anusara Yoga 101, composed by musical genius Benjy Wertheimer, blends the magical sounds of piano and woodwinds with traditional Indian instruments such as the Esraj, Tabla and Tamboura. Also featured on the soundtrack is the fantastic acoustic guitar music of renowned folk guitarist Michael Mandrell.』
