“Nectar Drop” by DJ Drez: A slow-paced song for the final postures of your practice.

Joey Lugassy: Another song suitable for seated or supine poses, such as backbends.

“Om (Invocation Dub) Omstrumental ” by MC YOGI: A calm tune to settle and set the intention for the practice.

Feel free to do whatever feels right for you. I’ve added cues for what parts of yoga practice I believe the songs are suitable for, but you don’t need to stick to them. It’s Indian-themed, with traditional Indian instruments such as flutes and tabla drums spiced up by some modern beats. Here are some of my recently discovered songs that I’ve compiled into a 75-min vinyasa flow playlist. Most of the times, I enjoy teaching and practicing to a good playlist, and I like exploring new tunes that I can play in class. Music can set the mood, help to calm and focus the mind, and it can also drown out distracting outside noises, such as cars, chatter, and similar. While some would argue that music draws attention outwards and achieves the opposite of pratyahara, I believe that it can actually be rather beneficial. The argument against music has to do with pratyahara or sense withdrawal, the fourth of the eight limbs of yoga. To others, it is a way of relaxing and reaching a meditative state. Some like silence and feel that music distracts them. Music in yoga practice is a matter of preference.
