We are a small company of like-minded yoga enthusiasts and we cannot record every yoga class that is happening around the globe at this moment. Therefore, we want to empower everyone to record their own classes and then submit them to us for sale in our download store or to offer as free downloads as advertising for you and your yoga classes. If you would like us to record your yoga class, please Contact Us.

Here are some small, medium and larger recording setups that we can recommend:

Recording Devices:

The Zoom H4n Handy Recorder

Studio Sound From This Versatile Recorder!

The Zoom H4n portable recorder makes it easy to capture 4-track studio-grade recordings - anywhere. This next-generation recorder from Zoom is loaded with all the features you need, as well as a bunch of extras, so you'll be ready for nearly any recording situation - the H4n has two onboard stereo condenser microphones, inputs for your own microphones, 50 built-in DSP effects, handy practice tools, and even a built-in speaker. You'll also love the unique Stamina Mode, which doubles your battery life, so you have nearly 11 hours of untethered recording time with your H4n.

Built-in stereo microphones capture a perfect stereo image

Zoom's H4n features two high-quality stereo condenser microphones, arranged in an X/Y pattern. Not only can you just "point and shoot" to capture audio, but because of the special pattern, you'll automatically capture with exceptionally natural depth and accurate imaging. Plus, you can rotate the microphones into two different positions - one that's perfect for up-close miking, and another that sounds amazing when you want to capture a wide sound field, such as a live band performance.

USB Hookup makes transfer of files easy. More From Sweetwater Sound...

What's more, it lets you handle those stressful "one-take-only" situations with ease thanks to the large, angled LCD and fast, intuitive user interface. More from Sweetwater Sound...

Microphones:

Shure SM57

The SM57 has probably recorded 90% of all snare drums and guitar amps in existence! It could be rightly called the "Swiss Army Knife" of modern music. The SM57 is the sound you hear on the radio - it's been used for decades to mic everything from snare drums to guitar amps to vocals, and just about everything else. It's in almost every studio - and on thousands of stages - all over the world!

With its bright, clean sound and carefully contoured presence rise, the SM57 is ideal for live sound reinforcement and recording. It has an extremely effective cardioid pickup pattern which isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise. More from Sweetwater Sound...
