Yoga + Hip Hop = Power Flow Yoga Class
I've taken my two favorites and combined them together. I teach a wide variety of people each week and I try to cater my music to everyone's liking. I create a wide variety of yoga mixes and this is just one of the many.
I don't play lyrical hip hop in my Gainesville yoga classes ( as much as I want to) but I do play instrumental hip hop from great artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, and Atmosphere mixed with some Afrobeat artists like Fela Kuti.
Good music mixes for yoga are hard to find, so I've taken artists' music I love and brought a whole new element of movement to it.
1 - Sabrosa - Beastie Boys
2 - The Woman With Tattooed Hands (instrumental) - Atmosphere
3 - Mama's Always on Stage (instrumental) - Arrested Development
4 - Jeun Ko Ku (Chop N' Quench) - Fela Kuti & the Africa 70
5 - Track Name Unknown - Mr. Mind
6 -Shambala - Beastie Boys
7 - Electric Relaxation (instrumental) - A Tribe Called Quest
8 - Lebanese Blonde - Thievery Corporation
9 - Party for the Fight to Write (instrumental) - Atmosphere
10 - Track Name Unknown - Nujabes
11 - Downtempo Track - From mrbluthc
12 - Downtempo Track - From mrbluthc
Still gonna keep the Gainesville community alive with some good tunes and hip hop yoga style...send me any suggestions my way.

Days 2 & 3 of Yoga for Detoxification
Day 2's menu consisted of:
Breakfast: Fruit smoothie made with blueberries, strawberry's, vanilla yogurt and apple juice (yummy)
Lunch: Fresh greens with veggies and organic basalmic dressing, left over quinoa with raw veggies, juice
Dinner: Black bean stew and salad
It was challenging to maintain this detox diet into day 3. I ate oatmeal for breakfast, and then went on a great bike ride with my friend Allie, owner of Allie Bags (who designs handmade yoga bags).
The bike ride had worked up such an appetite we went to The Swamp for some delicious Blue Moon (hey that's made of hops and barely right) and chips and salsa. And that's when I converted back to my regular diet of mostly healthy meals ;)
During the detox I would do a yoga practice. Day 2 I practiced in my studio space a vinyasa flow routine and it was wonderful release. I definitely noticed a difference in my body and mind from the detoxification. It was an experience and I look forward to trying it again, maybe once a month or something. Either way, it made me more conscious of what I consume.
