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.
Listen and license here.
This playlist features a variety of relaxing, ambient, and world music from many different artists. If you’re looking for something specific, you can navigate to our music catalog and include and/or exclude as many filters as you want.
For example, if you need yoga music that is dreamy, atmospheric, and not electronic, you can curate your search to get results like this:
While we could go on and on about all of the artists in this playlist, let’s spotlight a few that are definitely worth checking out:
1. Elision
The creative genius behind Elision is Jean-Daniel Zwahlen, a producer from Switzerland with a varied and successful career in the music scene. Not only has he produced yoga-worthy tracks (which are featured in this blog), but his music also spans genres like R&B, funk, and electronic.
