Soulfood Music founder DJ Free came up with the concept for rhythmic, chill based music for yoga while guest teaching at noted center for humanistic alternative education the Esalen Institute in Bug Sur, California. There he began collaborating with musicians and yoga professionals who saw a need for rhythmic music that would work for fitness styles of yoga. DJ Free continued the concept and while spinning at music festivals such as Burning Man, he was able to further collaborate with DJ’s, artists, musicians, dance instructors and Yoga professionals from around the world. Yogi Chill is the intersection of the place where Yoga meets chill.

“This release is a hypnotic musical journey of what I call Transglobal Electronica – music that bridges chill, down tempo feel with organic percussion, flutes and chants,” says Soulfood Music founder, DJ Free.
