Music for yoga

The right music in a yoga session sets the pace. It should match the flow you're doing: unhurried for restorative and yin practice, and a little more alive for a gentle vinyasa. It shouldn't pull your focus out of your body.

For gentle and restorative practice

Slow, wave-like sound helps you hold poses longer and breathe more deeply. Wave 0, Internal Compass and Bio-Harmonica play in full above. Others to try:

Bio-Harmony has soft, woodwind-like textures that feel natural and grounded. Zen Garden uses minimal bells and distant water-like textures. Glass Water is clean and still.

For savasana and the end of class

Finish with something even slower. Lunar Glow and Soft Horizon are both dreamy and spacious, so the final rest feels like rest.

For a more active flow

If you're moving faster, try the steadier Peace soundscapes with a slow pulse, like Equanimity. Save the fast Motivational tracks for the gym.

Frequently asked questions

What tempo is best for yoga music?

There's no single answer. Slower is generally better for holding poses and breathing deeply. Choose something that feels calmer than you do.

Can I use Claritune in a class I teach?

You can play the full tracks from this website or the app during your own practice. For public performance in a class, check the licensing rules where you teach.

Is there music for stretching after a run?

Yes. Anything from Calm works well for cool-downs. For the run itself, try the Running session.
