Pilates Tunes

I always play music when I teach Pilates. For most clients, their hour of Pilates is the one hour of the day they get completely for themselves: to look after themselves and leave behind the day's stresses. So, I put a lot of thought into the kind of music I play because I think it plays a central role in setting the mood. I've been feeling a bit nostalgic for Brazil, where most of my family lives, so my most recent playlist has a bit of a Brazilian theme. I also threw in some French tunes and classic American songs for good measure. Here's my latest playlist:

1. Summer Samba (So Nice) -- Astrud Gilberto

2. It's Complicated -- Hans Zimmer & Heitor Pereira

3. Esperança de Mar Azul -- Nancy Vieira

4. Que reste-t'il de nos amour -- Charles Trenet

5. Samba de mon coeur qui bat -- Coralie Clement

6. Love Makes the World Go Round -- Deon Jackson

7. Brazil -- Django Reinhardt

8. Je cherche un homme -- Eartha Kitt

9. C'est si bon -- Eartha Kitt

10. I Only Have Eyes for You -- The Flamingos

11. Remember Me -- Heitor Pereira

12. Assedic -- Les Escrocs
13. L'amereuse -- Carla Bruni

14. La vie en rose -- Louis Armstrong

15. Sweet Lorraine -- Stéphane Grappelli

16. I've Got a Crush On You -- Steve Tyrrel
