Review
------
"Compiled by renowned yoga trainer Beth Shaw and mixed by
Sequoia's Steve Gordon and David Gordon, Yoga Moods is a serenely
relaxing and uplifting mix of downtempo/global electronica chill
tracks released over the past five years from six of the label's
top-selling artists. At times it's difficult to discern where one
artist's track ends and the next begins--the sign of Shaw and the
Gordons' expertise in choosing perfectly mated music consistent
with the needs of yoga, Pilates, or other movement practitioners.
With a consistently entertaining song list from like-minded
chill/lounge artists, Yoga Moods fits the bill for yoga,
headphone listening, or simply relaxing after dinner." -- Randy
Alberts, New Age Retailer, Play List, Trade Show 2007 Issue
"Set the mood & enhance your groove the perfect tone for yoga
practice." -- Beth Shaw Founder, YogaFit
"YogaFit" instructor Beth Shaw has been bringing yoga to millions
through her emphasis on movement and fitness; she selected the
tracks on "Yoga Moods" sequenced to fit perfectly into a yoga
session. The music was then re-mixed by the Gordon Brothers on
their Sequoia label.
After a nice mellow ride through ambient territories, brothers
Steve and David Gordon take the helm for the final track, "Zen
Garden" which is just what it sounds like. With "Yoga Moods" you
will be able to move into some new kind of blue horizon, one
where the sun never sets. Yoga Moods is good that way and one day
peace of mind, may be yours. -- Daily OM
David and Steve Gordon, the heart and soul of Sequoia Records,
asked renowned yoga teacher Beth Shaw to compile a CD of
contemporary chill/lounge grooves. The happy result is Yoga
Moods, nearly 71 minutes of laid-back tracks focused on enhancing
the sublime experience of dynamic yoga or other forms of active
meditation. Suitable for entrancing dancing as well, Yoga Moods
is so versatile it can even make for a delightful background to
celebrate life with friends.
Yoga Moods features tracks from several great Sequoia Groove
(part of the Sequoia Records family) releases, including Le Spa
Sonique and The Nine Worlds, the second of which I have reviewed
in this space. Truly a superb compilation, Yoga Moods offers the
willing listener a sensuous window into the musical world of
leading European electronica artists. I love Yoga Moods so much I
often play it twice in a row. Highly recommended. -- Steve Ryals,
Author and Music Reviewer
This "sampler" was compiled by Yoga-trainer Beth Shaw from the
works of Jens Gad Presents, Althea W., Achillea, Peter Mergener,
The Moontrane Conductors, Hands Upon Black Earth, and David &
Steve Gordon presumably for Yoga work, though the liner notes
include entertaining friends and relaxation among its uses. Mixed
so that one track melts into the next, the cuts have a definite
beat/rhythm, which make it more suitable to the physical/active
styles of Yoga, as well as Pilates work. -- Mark Maxwell Abushady
for Music & More
We find a mellow production in "Yoga Moods," compiled by the
well-known American Yoga teacher Bert Shaw. She carefully and
suitably selected thirteen titles in the Downbeat tempo. Enigma
Co-producer Jens Gad, whose unfailing feeling for pleasant Chill
Out rhythms and smoothing sounds is positively noticeable. Songs
from the Gordon Brothers, Achillea, Peter Mergener and others
round off this over seventy minutes compilation. A more
mix of hypnotic rhythms, fantastic voices and relaxed atmosphere
invites you to listen, not only for Yoga! -- BSC Music

of global world-beat, dance, ethnic/tribal, electronica, jazz,
trip-hop, funk and new age into a new and sophisticated musical
hybrid that is the epitome of chill. Perfect sounds for the
