Music isn’t just compelling in high energy environments and dramatic film scenes. It can also strengthen moments of calm and reflection, which is why music pairs so well with a practice like yoga.
For many people, yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that helps to calm the mind, ground oneself, and find intention. Listening to music during a yoga class can help bring your focus back to the current moment instead of, let’s say, an overwhelming mental to-do list.
If you’re interested in building a playlist with royalty free yoga music or licensing songs for an upcoming project, we’ve put together this guide to help you do just that. Specifically, we’re sharing our top Yoga playlist and some song recommendations to jumpstart your search.
Introducing our Yoga playlist
There’s a reason (well, several reasons) why yoga is an integral part of approximately 300 million people’s daily lives. Not only does this practice have deep roots in Indian culture and spiritual disciplines, but it can also improve overall mental and physical wellness.
Before delving into our lists of new and popular yoga tracks from Soundstripe, let’s start with something a bit more comprehensive: Our Yoga playlist.
