Practice playlist

Music can have a profound effect on our mood and state of mind. So, when planning a playlist for a class I need to make sure that, firstly the music I use is music I connect with to ensure I teach from a place of authenticity and, secondly, that the music doesn't dominate but enhances the rhythm and pace of the class.

Music for home practice is a great way to help centre yourself and connect to your yoga. Music can help you focus and prevent the mind from wandering to the shopping list/planning your day/conversations etc while practicing your yoga.

My playlist for my latest pregnancy class is as follows, enjoy:

Shabda - The Purity by Rainer Tillman
Rag Desh - Alap by Benjy Wertheimer and Steve Gorn
Deeper Love (drums of life mix) by Bombay MC
Prescilla by Bat For Lashes
Teardrop by Massive Attack
Heart Sutra by Wah!
Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil
Gayatri Mantra by Nada Shakti and Bruce Becvar
Chandra by Benjy Wertheimer and Steve Gor
Harmony by Tsering Tobgyai
