Take a calming trip around the globe with these relaxing songs, from Mali to Nepal and beyond, on this world music CD.
Yoga is universal. Throughout the world, people of all ages and backgrounds are practising yoga to relax and rejuvenate, and musicians are creating music to accompany it. Drawing on contemplative sounds from Wales to Tibet and Armenia to Uganda, this collection leads listeners to deeper relaxation. With an engaging balance of more traditional yoga sounds—mantra-based pieces with Indian elements—and unexpected acoustic gems from Africa and beyond, World Yoga reflects the practice’s planetary impact and grace.
