Finding good music for yoga, especially for teaching a class, is quite tricky. Many CDs are just too soothing and relaxing… not ideal for an active vinyasa! And some are just plain awful plinky-plonky stuff you’d hear in a lift! Here are my long-standing personal favourites — actual proper musicians rather than MUZAK. 🙂 If you have any other suggestions, write them at the bottom in comments, I am always looking for something new to add to my repertoire! Thank you.
| The amazing Benjy Wertheimer. This is a great album, very varied and full of wonderful instruments. Perfect for a slower, more meditative vinyasa. | |
| I have been in love with Dead Can Dance music since I first came across them in California in 2000. This particular album belongs to my most listened to collection. Fourteen years later I still love it. | |
| Another Dead Can Dance evergreen. A close second to Spiritchaser. Just close your eyes and enjoy. | |
| You will never need another CD for savasana, I promise you. I had to buy this one about three times, because it got stolen twice! | |
| The first half of this middle-Eastern sounding album is perfect for a high-energy session. The second half is mellow and chilled-out. Love it. | |
| This is an inexpensive and beautiful CD by Nigel Champion. I have played it countless times. The perfect background, without any breaks, the tracks merge smoothly together. | |
| How about some electric tango! Meet the fabulous Gotan Project. These guys will get your feet moving. I use it mainly for Pilates and have received so many compliments on my good taste. 🙂 | |
| Another masterpiece of Gotan Project, just as good as the previous one. Have a listen on Amazon or YouTube. |
Ha, I’m listening to my Yoga CD right now!
Awesome!
