This playlist was inspired by the element of “space” and how it relates to the way we inhabit our bodies and minds.
Often many of us are caught in a web of doubting, negative thoughts about our bodies and minds. The aligned vinyasa class I taught supported by this playlist encouraged students to find space in their upper chest and lower back through the breath. I chose many dub reggae and down tempo grooves because of the sheer amount of empty space that exists in this type of music. Un-played and “inferred” notes resonate as loudly as any drum beat or melody. Some of these songs have been used in previous playlists, but hey, they are good. I hope you like it.
