Balasana 1 44 seconds Balasana 1 - music only Composed for the video Yoga Well Being for Tuning the Body and Mind - Taylor Yoga, 2009.	Balasana is a resting pose in yoga. The word literally translates to "child's pose". There's an intersting story to this one. When I was writing the music for this part of the video, I leaned toward a child's relaxing bedtime tune. When I brought it to Connie to hear, she explained to me that there is really nothing 'childisn' about the pose. There is an aspect of "you must have the simplicity of a child to know when it's time to rest". It is also intended to have a good effect on the internal organs. I paired it with pictures of the sky over the Andaman Sea, Thailand.
Breathe (version 1) 3:51 minutes Breathe (version 1) - music only Composed for the video Yoga Well Being for Tuning the Body and Mind - Taylor Yoga, 2009.	The Breathe music is designed for the first part of your daily practice in which you calm yourself down by sitting quietly and focusing on your breath. The accompanying photos are of Wat Chalong, a temple in Phuket, Thailand.
Breath and Movement 4:28 minutes Breath and Movement - music only Composed for the video Yoga Well Being for Tuning the Body and Mind - Taylor Yoga, 2009.	The Breath and Movement music is designed for parts of your daily practice in which you continue to focus on the breath, but incorporate some slow, simple movements. The accompanying photos were taken while walking around the city of Prague in the Czech Republic.
Floor Series 4:34 minutes Floor Series - music only Composed for the video Yoga Well Being for Tuning the Body and Mind - Taylor Yoga, 2009.	The Floor Series music can accompany any of a variety of sitting and lying poses during your daily practice. The accompanying photos were taken in and around Sedona, Arizone.
Standing Series 1 4:27 minutes Standing Series 1 - music only Composed for the video Yoga Well Being for Tuning the Body and Mind - Taylor Yoga, 2009.	The Standing Series music can accompany standing and moving poses. It's a bit more up-tempo than some of the others and may feel a bit like a travelogue, but hopefully, you may still find it useful. The accompanying photos were taken at night in Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo.
