Seeking Yoga Music and Yoga Playlists?

Great yoga music and yoga playlists are hard to find, so I usually make my own compilations. Usually I make playlists on my Ipod but that was before the unfortunate death of my 40 GB Apple Ipod. You’d think a product that is so expensive by a company with such a reputation for innovation would last longer than one year? Well apparently not. Getting used to not having a quarter of my music collection (I have tons of music) with me at the touch of a finger has been an adjustment, but particularly for my private yoga lessons.

I have a portable Ipod boom bucket for my Ipod (a never again buy for me due to the unsatisfactory, low-quality mass production) only use now is as a prop for practicing Ardha Chandrasana (half moon). I’m adjusting to my latest loss which has turned into a great gain for me - a new exploration of fabulous yoga music for my yoga classes!

I googled “yoga playlists” tonight and found some really great songs to include on my next round of yoga mixes for classes. Here’s my latest and greatest complication that I’ll begin incorporating in my Gainesville yoga classes.


  • Diamods On The Inside – Ben Harper
  • Wonder – Natalie Merchant
  • Holes To Heaven – Jack Johnson
  • Waiting On The World To Change – John Mayer
  • Upside Down – Jack Johnson
  • Studying Stones – Ani DiFranco
  • Bright As Yellow – The Innocence Misson
  • If I Had Eyes – Jack Johnson
  • Times Like These (acoustic) – Foo Fighters
  • By My Side – Ben Harper
  • Love Is My Religion (acoustic) – Ziggy Marley
  • Gratitude – India.Arie
  • Blackbird – The Beatles
  • Adrift – Jack Johnson
  • Yoga Harmony – Terry Oldfield

Yoga One and it this album is so wonderful! I wish I could find more like it! The music is great to teach a yoga flow class to; especially because of the song Breathe as it reminds you to remember the most important part of a yoga pose, which is your breath. Enjoy the yoga tunes and if you have any suggested playlists or yoga compilations, send them my way!
