that awkward moment when your yoga instructor plays "lost without you" by robin thicke...

...& downward dog loses its innocence.

i wonder how much time yoga instructors put into creating their playlists. some of them seem precise & deliberate while others sound rushed or typical. i think the music is one of the most important parts of practice. no, there does not have to be any music at all, but if there is it has to be right...don't ya think?
the wrong song can just throw your whole flow off...

so on my way home from class tonight i compiled a list of songs on my ipod that "yoga instructor ru" would have looping during a 60min class...

little dragon - twice
the almost - dirty & left out
caroline - drove me to the wall
amy winehouse - half time
matchbox 20 - 3am (piano acoustic)
caroline - all i need
frou frou - let go
zero 7 - in the waiting line
lemar - i believe in a thing called love (acoustic cover)*

blonde redhead - pink love
frou frou - shh
jason mraz - who needs shelter
caroline - drove me to the wall**
