Great version of the classic folk song from Kate Rusby in her early days in The Poozies. I wish there was more harp in folk music, it has such a lovely sound:

The Poozies - Maid of Llanwellyn

Julie Fowlis at Celtic Connections



If you like this kinda thing, I recommend tuning into BBC Alba which plays a lot of gaelic folk music.
Those of you with Freesat - it's on channel 110. Best TV channel there is for folk music.

Absolutely I love having Ravi Shankar's music on in the background during yoga(asana/pranayama/dhyana,etc), and now looking forward to adding these songs, they'll be perfect.
Glad you enjoyed them, and nice to meet a fellow yogi. I only practise hatha yoga but I love it and, paradoxically, find it both relaxing and energising.

Here are some of the tunes I like to play when doing yoga or tai chi:

Ananda Vdovic - Durgaashtakam




Sheila Chandra - Nana




Craig Pruess & Ananda - Lalitha Ashtotram

This is from a goa trance album I have (as you may tell from the name of the song) but is more world music than electronic in my opinion. Very pretty either way:

Aqua Sufi - Industrial Suicide Tribe

I've posted this before, but a long, long time ago. Hopefully it'll be new to someone on here, and it'll make them smile, and so the world will be a little better. Don't underestimate small deeds. Lovely:

Hatful of Rain - Way Up On The Hill






A classic:

Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where The Time Goes






Fairport Convention - Matty Groves
