Techno Yoga? What? Why? How?

For me taking Techno Yoga "Streaming Online" with BurnAlong (see.... Link BurnAlong) has been a big step in opening up to the public a "Self-practice" routine I developed during COVID!!  As there were no discos or sunset beach terraces to enjoy to move with the 🎶🎧🔊music🥺... A home remedy🙌 was required!!  As luck would have it my roommate during this time was a DJ (and still is!! ;-). 
So it didn't take long to just start dancing and then start exploring and expiramenting how the music "felt" in various Yoga Postures (asanas).  I found that more "grounded" postures with 3 or 4 points of support were great to really enjoy a whole track whilst of course closing the eyes and still maintaining awareness of breath! 
 The other series of asanas that I found really enjoyable with music were inversions but again with a forearm and head or palms and head to at least have a nice triangle base for support!! 
I believe any music can be enjoyed this way with Yoga if it is a style that uplifts the heart & soul!! The only other requisite I believe is a minimum of lyrics as one has to decide if you wish to guide yourself with the changes and layers of the sounds or if you prefer a "verbal refrain" to be your mind's focus! 
...... So this is a very brief explanation as to how I have "United Music & Yoga" for myself and now have the idea of sharing 🤗 this premise as an Improvisational Creative Yoga Sequence!
I also with due respect note that there is a beautiful studio in Berlin, Germany doing very large format classes that look nice too!  You can see them on Instagram

In my previous blogspot entry I mentioned my musical "inspiration" in a bit more depth...here it is again in case you still with a reading appetite!! 🤗

Over 20 years ago in Los Angeles before discovering Yoga & Meditation my ritual was to dance to Techno or New Wave Goth whist the soundwaves carried my wandering thoughts to a structured guide of notes that helped me achieve a calm mind. 
I strongly believe both music and dancing are powerful ways to lift the psyche and can be enjoyed whilst directing oneself to a wholesome mental journey!

Why I Love YouTube :-) A few Positive Ideas About Social Media

See LiveStream or On-Demand on YouTube of course !  @michaelsandsyoga7809 Recently someone made a comment to me that becoming famous or monetizing a YouTube channel is like winning the lottery!! I concur with this opinion BUT all the same see I the REAL REWARD is available NOW to everyone with an internet connection and way better than any Financial Gain!!  What are the 2 HUGE Gifts Social Media has given us for FREE? Digital Legacy - Memories, Photos, Events can be passed down by family generations to share the progress and the evolutions of our daily life before we become titled as "ancestors" ;-) Knowledge Transfer - We can leave informative takes on life, wisdom and even specific work or recreation "how to guides" to our descendants and future fellow humans on this planet!  Maybe we even share experiences that can give the next generation an evolutionary jump forwards whilst avoiding a repetition of any missteps!

Activating Chakras with Techno Music :-)

Music and mantras are an integrated part of Yogic Practices as they can assist in activating and enegizing the Prana in one's body!  I have been experimenting with a specific playlist of EDM music and applying a specific song for each Chakra!  The internal journey and experience has been very positive!! Therefore I am sharing the playlist here and will endeavour to share further ideas about each song's relation with a specific Chakra :-)  See Video soon!  :-) In addition I plan to give a guided meditation sequence Livestream on the YouTube Michael Sands Yoga Channel! @michaelsandsyoga7809
