Lewis Waddle...the genre bender, tastefully and effectively blends eclectic music with classic yoga, creating unique moments of sound and motion.

If you ever want to learn how to incorporate music with your yoga class, then get in touch with Lewis Waddle.  Just take him over to Sushi X, order up a Red Dragon, and he will gladly share his musical secrets with you.  “The goal is to create a mood-inducing atmosphere open to interpretation.  Avoid literal pop tunes with lyrics that define specific moments.  I create an audio soundscape which induces my students to be present for their yoga practice.  Elements of brightness, reflectivity, hypnotic melody and rhythmic sensibility.” 

Lewis has a vast knowledge of music extending far beyond contemporary boundaries, including classical, jazz, blues, fusion, world, and techno.  His Riverwest crib has an impressive floor to ceiling cd collection and his ipod contains over 5000 songs. In addition to teaching yoga to devoted, dedicated students in an ever-increasing class-size, Lewis is a musician, a producer, a vocalist, and he plays a number of instruments. Lewis rounds things out by working at The Chicago Civic Opera.
