What sounds are appropriate for you while doing yoga?

I asked this question 8 years ago when I started writing my blog about the connection between Yoga and Metal Music. Since then, I've composed music that I deemed suitable not only in aural quality but also in design while keeping both metal and yoga representative to acceptable degrees. I've been able to take on the task of playing instruments I have not played before and recording the music so anyone can play it during their yoga sessions. Having experienced kirtan, the music I chose to represent my version of it was going to be based on the cello along with other possible elements if appropriate. Because the cello is a bowed instrument that can be made to drone, it fills up the sound space rather effectively on its own.

Music is a very personal thing. Yoga is a very personal thing. I'm open to listening to any form of music, but maybe not so comfortable with someone else choosing what I listen to while doing Yoga. Often, there is no music, only silence.

Here is a link to a Sacral Chakra 5 Cello Meditation composition that I recorded in 2014: https://soundcloud.com/metal-yoga/sacral-chakra-5-cello-meditation

For those interested in the technical details of the music, the description as included in the link is of the second major chakra, the sacral, resonating in the key of C# with 5Hz binaural beats and composed with 5 cellos, about 8 and a half minutes duration. I have found this particularly useful when moving into savasana and meditating for about the length of the music to end the practice. Because of the inclusion of binaural beats, headphones are best to experience the theta wave frequency to its fullest potential.

This revisits my very first blog post in a current edition just for Steemit as I continue where I left off and venture further and deeper into the unknown to be discovered with all of you. In the last few years I have discovered missing integral pieces to make the information I want to share only what I would consider the most valuable.

If you have any questions about this content or would simply like to share your experiences, I would like to hear them all.

You can read my original Metal Yoga Blog entry about Yoga And Sound to get the perspective of time here:

Since a very young age, there's something about low pitched drones, especially in certain intervals, that stir not just a (probably fairly common) trance-like state, but an effect similar to the goosebumps I get when I hear certain works. Ear-gasm? I don't know. What I know is, I always thought that getting goosebumps when you hear certain things was just a given; that everyone must have had that happen to them before, and they must have certain pieces that do it every time, like I do. Physical goosebumps, and euphoria.

I've since learned that not everyone has a physical response like that, and I'm happy to be part of the group of people that do, because I couldn't imagine life without it.

That's just the impromptu thoughts that came to mind as soon as your Cello Meditation began to play.
