At Rest
Pg 59 - Soothing Grooves

"We wanted to create a mix that perfectly lends itself to a yoga workout, yet would be a welcome listen in any context, whether it be a dinner party, a hike, or just chilling out after a long day at work," explains Cyndi Lee, founder of New York's legendary OM yoga center and creator of OM Yoga Mix 2. Lee, a former choreographer whose credits include Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" video, brings her eclectic tastes and offbeat perspective to yoga music to this inspirational compilation. Produced by her husband, Grammy-nominated and Emmy award-winning composer David Nichtern, OM Yoga Mix 2 includes original and unreleased songs by Krishna Das, The Beyman Bros, Kodomo, and Omar Faruk Tekbilek. Says Lee, "By bringing together some of the world's most exciting artists, we've aimed to create an inspiring, balancing, and joyful experience for the millions of people who have made yoga an integral part of their lives." The CD also includes an original illustrated sequence of yoga poses in the artwork. www.dharmamoon.com - Margaret Coventry
