title: "Breathing In This Timeline with little luna"

description: "I’ve been a fan of little luna’s music for years, and after this pod, I’m a fan of her process, informed by her background as a yoga instructor and in guided meditation. It’s easy to get swept up in all of the tasks behind releasing a song: the album art, recording, mix, master, marketing, etc. But little luna reminds us to take a breath, center the practice, and enjoy the ride."

hostNote: |
  **little luna** is an LA singer-songwriter who has taught **yoga and guided meditation for a decade**. Lyrics show up in meditation; she writes from voice memos with the antenna up. The episode title is her line: **breathing in this timeline**, a song can belong to the person living it, not just the chart.
  
  We talk through an honest writing year with no real breaks, collaboration as a creative exchange even when the song stays hers, **sync** without abandoning the little-luna sound, and a live show she wants to feel like a heated yoga class: the music slaps, the flow works, everyone leaves better. She has even thought about VIP as a guided meditation, not just a photo.
