I LOVE music–all types, and my class playlists always vary widely. Below is a great list of songs whether you’re a yoga instructor or not. I’ve been playing it the past couple of weeks and getting a lot of requests for song titles after classes. This is probably a little over 75 minutes of music. It follows the pace and flow of a typical yoga class but if you find that a particular song isn’t fitting the energy you’re going for, or if you’re teaching a shorter class, you can always skip a song or two.
