Tunes Tuesday ~ This week's picks are from our friend Emma

Today, we have a special appearance from a great yogi, Emma. She is an amazing person who we find to be one of the most inspirational yoga instructors! She has provided us with 5 song selections this week that she thought would complement sun salutations. We hope you enjoy her songs and hopefully you have the chance to do some sun salutations with the songs!

Sun Salutations Tunes Tuesdayfrom Emma Silverman

On beautiful, sunny days, there is nothing better then doing Sun Salutations to a up-beat and fun play list. I have a lot of favorites that I (overuse) on a regular basis, but here are five to get your day started off Sunny!

1. "Send Me On My Way," Rusted Root http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGMabBGydC0
How can you not be happy listening to this song?

2. "Sail," AWOLNATION http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUxN3rT-3VI
Not the official video, but the guy in this video is my favorite yogi of all time. 

3. "Learning to Fly," Tom Petty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BJXwNeKsQ
A curve ball, yet totally appropriate. Perfect for balance poses, too!

4. "My Body is a Cage," Peter Gabriel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTZQ2IB_x7c
A cover of the original Arcade Fire song. The lyrics are pure yoga: "My body is a cage/that keeps me form dancing with the one I love/but my mind holds the key."

5. "Bolo ram," Wah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_BE6ILStnM

My one nod to "traditional" yoga music. Cooling things down and a beautiful song.
