I’ve always listened to typical “yoga music” for my practice, filled with soothing flutes and nature sounds - thunderstorms and rolling oceans. I still love those tracks but I recently switched it up and created this playlist with everyday music. It’s great because it’s energetic and soulful at the same time. It has a mix of faster-paced songs with rest periods built in for child’s and corpse pose moments.
I open with 3-5 sun salutations, mix a combination of challenging asanas with rest periods throughout. I love doing inversions to “Shake it Out,” followed by Savasana for “Tennessee Whiskey”. Sometimes I got into it with a plan, but others I’ll just do what I feel for that day and not focus too much on the details or which body parts I’m working.
This playlist is ten songs, 45 minutes. Best of all every one of the songs is available on amazon music. So here it is, Give it a try, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Broken Halos, Chris Stapleton
Sing, Ed Sheeran
Say Something, Justin Timberlake [feat. Chris Stapleton]
Viva La Vida, Coldplay
Give Me Love, Ed Sheeran
