Music to use for Movement Exploration
Music to use for movement exploration
For many years, I have been collecting inspiring recorded music that gets me moving. This list is arranged subjectively, starting with music that inspires meditation and deep, subtle inner movement. At the end of the list are pieces of music that inspire energetic, outgoing, and enlivening movement. Albums I frequently use in teaching class are marked with **. -- Roger Tolle, 2019
