Breath Movement Dance Sound Song Sleep Prayer Love
When you enter into the space where you practice yoga, one of the first things you normally do is tune into the way you are breathing. "Govinda" naturally encourages this and instantly you feel relaxed and start to take deep inhales and relaxing exhales as if you have left all the stress of the world and have been invited into relaxation and peace. Jai Uttal's singing enhances every aspect as he effortlessly breathes a subtle energy through each song. At first instrumental, Govinda evolves into a reverential salutation that speaks of appreciation.
Music for Yoga and Other Joys lives up to its name because a sense of joy rises from within the peace and relaxation. The textures are rich with rhythmic serenity and the music permeates the soul's mysteries.
Dotar, electric guitar, slide tamboura, bansuri (Indian Bamboo Flute), banjo create an authentic musical ecstasy that transcends the ordinary and takes you to the divine. Divine Love, All Pervading Peace, Transformation and Joyful Energy are all themes throughout this CD. In this world, the ancient and the modern mingle in passion and peace in exquisite perfection.

Music for Yoga & Other Joys Poster
Jai Uttal?premier world music composer and 2003 Grammy® nominee?offers a moving mix of melody, rhythms, and chants with Music for Yoga and Other Joys. Known for his eclectic blend of East-meets-West sound, Jai offers listeners his first album created especially for yoga practice. More than 60 minutes of sensual music featuring dotar, electric guitar, and slide tamboura, all complemented by Jai?s full, golden-toned voice. Produced in collaboration with Ben Leinbach. Also an excellent choice for meditating, gardening, driving, and bodywork.Music for yoga is such a cliché that you could slap that moniker on a Barry Manilow CD and have it sold as a soundtrack for Downward Facing Dog pose. Yoga music has become a made-to-order commodity, and rarely attains the level of art. The title Music for Yoga and Other Joys doesn't bode well, but then, it has Jai Uttal, a veteran of world fusion going back 15 years and a devotee of kirtan singing teaming up with multi-instrumentalist Ben Leinbach for a series of extended improvisations. Leinbach creates a shifting back drop of chilled, Indian-derived grooves and textures like liquid mercury dipped in a fractal swirl. It's a perfect modal backdrop for Uttal, who improvises freely on an Indian stringed instrument called the dotar, electric guitar, and even banjo. Pieces like the 26-minute "Govinda" extend in a free fall until a rhythm loop drops in. Uttal swaps to a fuzzed out electric guitar solo that eventually merges into an improvised kirtan, his voice coiling in note-bending spirals like soul singing from the east. This may be music for yoga, but it's the other joys that will keep you coming back. --John Diliberto
