From around 2005 to 2011, I used to make CD mixes for my friends and family for Christmas. An end-of-the-year playlist of all my favorite tunes from the calendar year.

Times changed and technology evolved. So instead of a CD mix, here’s a blog post with my playlist of 2013.

I have zero musical talent, but I love music. The songs on this playlist are suitable for yoga practice—or just to listen for listening’s sake.

This is the 2013 mix, from me to you. I hope you like it! Happy Holidays.
