If you have been reading my blog for some time, you KNOW how much I LOVE music and that music adds an important element to my daily yoga practice. I am alway looking to expand my eclectic mix of tunes to play as I move, stretch, and hold my yoga poses. Also, if you have gotten to know me through this blog you have likely noticed that I emphasize practicing yoga with your heart, not just your mind. I have talked about POURing love into your practice for gaining maximum benefits.
"Letting ALL I do be done in love" has become my mantra and I am doing my best to really live this principle. Coincidentally (or NOT), this love theme has been popping up in my life everywhere - even among Facebook friends and acquaintances. A month or two ago when I asked readers to share the type of music they listen to as they practice, one woman who frequently comments on this blog stated that she sometimes listens to yogi-hip hop artist, MC Yogi.
I have to admit, I had not heard of him. But, I can't say I listen to a lot of hip hop - although I do like to dance around to it every so often at home! Well, I looked up MC Yogi and came across a toe-tapping tune with inspiring lyrics that reinforce the theme of "love." You can easily find MC Yogi on the Internet - he has a website (www.MCYogi.com) and his "Give Love" song on youtube. I recommend you check it out and add it to your playlist. It will energize your yoga practice. Below are some of the lyrics from the song.
Yours for a heartfelt yoga practice with energizing, love-inspired music!

P.S. - One of my other ALL time love-filled oldies is "Let My Love Open the Door" by Peter Townshend - it's awesome.
A few lyrics from MC Yogi's "Give Love" song
Open up your heart, unlock the cage, turn the key and break the chains.
Love will always find a way. If you want love, you have to give love away.
Give Love - Give Your Love Away
Give Love Don't be Afraid!
Give Your Love Away
Give Your Love Away Now!
Give Love
Love is life
and life is living
Living is love
and love is giving
What we live for love
it gives life meaning
