For soothing and relaxing, I like Rasa, Deva Premal, Anugama, Dean Evenson, Chinmaya Dunster, SoulFood.
Sometimes for an invigorating practice I like Beats Antique, Baka Beyond, Afro Celt Sound System, Thievery Corporation, Shaman’s Dream
For a mix that is already suited for a yoga practice, starts off slow, builds in intensity, then a relaxing close, any Shiva Rea Compilation, or other yoga compilation are nice. Tandava has two that are good.
I love Deva Premal and also Dean Evenson
If I’m relaxing its Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, etc.
If I’m going for power its metal or really up beat rap. Sometimes its even country music. LOL
Classical music all the way. Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, etc. This song is also very relaxing and beautiful.
After hearing the Four Seasons a million times, I don’t want to hear it at yoga class.
As much as I like classical music, I can’t think of much that I would want as yoga music. I actually would prefer the new-age stuff they use, but could go for some Gregorian Chant.
If you haven’t, please try this:
As you slowly inhale, sing/listen silently - do re mi fa so la ti (with respective frequencies) respectively locating each sound at muladhara, swadhisthana, manipura, anahat, vishuddhi, ajna and sahasrara chakras.
Then exhale, singing/listening in reverse order.
It is great music.
stream “suburbs of goa” through winamp radio (shoutcast). it is some kickin indian downtempo tech
I have also recently found MagnaTune. Googling them is easy. They offer subscriptions, the most expensive of which is $15 a month for unlimited downloads (no restrictions) on their 10,000 albums. They have many in the New Age, World, and Ambient genres that I find are appropriate for yoga. You could get a subscription for just a few months (3 is their minimum) and download all you could ever need!
I’m really enjoying them as of late. 
There is a musician here in Victoria, BC whose music is incredibly beautiful. He plays the flute - and in many of his songs he plays a bass flute, which has an amazing, deep vibration that hits you on a deep level. I play his music a lot during my yoga classes and when I give thai massage.
His name is Scott Sheerin. Check out his bandcamp page:
He's also a really great guy - very spiritually minded.
Try Fridrik Karlsson. great for relaxing yoga and meditation.
Also try Snatum Kaur. Loads of great tracks.
I like Ben Leinbach - Spirit of Yoga, every once in a while I?ll get a drop in telling me they’d never return because music has no place in a yoga practice. We each have a different vibration resonating through us, so be it?

Same here, I think. Sometimes I’ve been in a class where there is pop/rock music and I’ve found it quite distracting. Chant helps me be more in the Yoga zone, so to speak.
Snatnam Kaur is always a complete delight and goes with any yoga practice!
Pandora.com is great as well for streaming music. You create channels based on what music genre you want to hear (it can even be artist specific). You can then “LIKE” or “UNLIKE” or “SKIP” songs and even remove artists from a channel that you create. It is also free, but you will have to deal with 1 commercial/ 3 songs. If you have the money the year subscription is under $30.00 (for the whole year) and then they omit the commercials.
Well worth the $$$.
They do have an Ambient station, as well as a New Age Essentials, New Age Beats and a Paramahamsa station
Hi!
Feel free to listen to my music.
I am also giving away a free album at the moment as a Christmas gift at my website:
Warmest regards
Mans Ek - Songs Of Eden
There is many music in you-tube but only mantra chant is giving me really peace in mind. you can try it.
I go to classes where the teacher bring music on their phone and plug into an amplifier.
I dig the traditional type of music and mantras such as Krishna Das and such is also picked by the teachers. With rotating teachers we get a wide range.
