"If you ever imagined yourself wandering around inside of a cloud,
it might sound like this. It has many of the same qualities as
the best space music: it paints a picture so large that you can
wander in and get lost for a while. You can visit the enchanted
domain many times and each time come away with a different experience."

one of the best selling CDs at the studio."
Helen Goldstein, Director, The Yoga Studio, Toronto
I have had so much great feedback form the Valentine's Dance.
People loved it. And the thing that has really struck me, is that
it was so much more than "just a dance" It truly was a very profound
and ecstatic journey. That was my experience, and I have had other
people say the same thing in other ways about it. It was wild
and sweaty and fun, and soooo SACRED. I really connected with
the Divine energy. Amazing stuff!! Thanks again for your music".

blissful yoga practice."

Michael Moon Concert & CD Release Nov 20 2010 Review
Posted by Brian on TYS Blog December 10, 2010
Embracing audience participation right from the beginning, the “electric shaman” opened with a chant of “Om Shanti Om” from his CD “Deep Peace”. Then reverberations of Tibetan and crystal bowls, blending with Didgeridoo and vibraphone, created a magical atmosphere that immediately shifted the group energy into a state of soulful peace. Michael’s beautiful songs followed weaving in and out of sublime, instrumental soundscapes.
From the ancient sounds of the santoor, to dreamy guitar leads, the music always had a surprise in store, keeping the full house alternatively dancing and deeply focused. Chris Gartner’s bass held down the groove while the ‘goddesses’ Parvati, Jenn Howie, Ruth Finlay and Francoise Roy sang blissful harmonies complementing Michael’s rich voice. The first set ended with over a hundred voices filling the Sanctuary with the “Goddess Chant”.
During the break there was an abundance of healthy treats, food and drinks. It really felt like a party, especially when Michael began singing his original birthday song. Everybody joined in, as the several people who were celebrating their birthdays, blew out candles on a vegan chocolate cake.
 
The second set introduced Laura Nashman’s beautiful flute, blending perfectly with the entrancing melodies. The mystical sounds of Michael’s song “Unveil the Night” exploded into a rousing “Om Namah Shivaya” and the crowd went wild dancing and singing. And the drums…when Michael picked up a drum and joined the incendiary Beau Lukes and Steve Kaposey it was impossible to sit. The floor was shaking with all the dancing. A number of sweet, spiritual lullabies followed taking us deep inside and this set ended with the crowd dancing and singing to a rockin’ version of Michael’s song/chant “I Am Whole”.
The show closed with a lovely circle with everyone holding hands and singing a long, playful “Om”. No one wanted to stop. One lone meditater, unable to move, sat in the centre of it all. Definitely, a very magical night at The Yoga Sanctuary.
