Yoga Journal Review

“To music producer Frank Fitzpatrick, yoga is a means of connection. The devoted practitioner was inspired to bring together mantra-recording artists like Krishna Das, Deva Premal, and Guru Singh and Top 40 musicians Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, and Peter Gabriel on one CD. In one way or another, says Fitzpatrick, all of these artists are yogis: “Some may practice, but each has created music from a place deep within themselves, in connection with spirit and with an intention to help listeners become more deeply connected to themselves and one another.”

The 14 tracks come from a variety of genres – everything from rock anthems and folk tunes to ancient Vedic chants and world music – but all the selections have spiritual undertones. “Love Is My Religion,” by Ziggy Marley, is an acoustic reggae jam that’s as funky as it is devotional. McLachlan’s soulful “Prayer to St. Francis” sings of living a spiritual life, and Guru Singh and Seal’s “I Am” is a joyful celebration of the Divine present in everyone. Yoga Revolution is an eclectic set, for sure, but it’s also a sweet, uplifting look into how various artists devote themselves to love, peace, and spirituality in their own creative ways. Net proceeds go to Youth Health Alliance, a non-profit that provides yoga, academic, and health programs for underserved elementary and middle school students around the country.”
