"Hip is the knowledge. Hop is the movement."
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 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 a mrbluthc mixtape
12 - Downtempo Track - From a mrbluthc mixtape
Still gonna keep the Gainesville community alive with some good tunes and hip hop yoga style...send me any suggestions my way. Or mixtapes for that matter!
