Album Notes Personnel includes: Chinmaya Dunster (guitar, sarod, keyboards, programming); Bodhanand (vocals); Prasad Mackenzie (guitar); Gerhard Frankhaus (lute); Atul Keskar (sitar); Don Lax (violin); Shastro (flute); Bikram Singh (bamboo flute); Zahir (accordion); Kalyan Mitto, Prem Sundari (bass); Manish Vyas, Atmo Sangeet (tabla). This album was written to accompany an hour-long session of Hatha yoga. The composer, longtime yoga expert Chinmaya Dunster, divided the program into seven songs to reflect the body's seven chakras, or energy points. He alternates between slow and mystical compositions and more uptempo, energy-driven pieces that match the varying paces of the Hatha workout. The rich, textured sounds of this music seem to acknowledge an entire host of international traditions, but ultimately there is a distinctly Indian flavor, due to the generous use of the sarod, an Indian stringed instrument.
