Playlists and mixes for hatha yoga practice

Hatha yoga is the foundation of classical yoga, where each asana is held consciously and slowly, and breathing sets the internal rhythm of the practice. The right music for hatha yoga helps you slow down, focus on the sensations of your body, and dive deeper into each pose. This section contains mixes that were created specifically for this format of classes - without sharp transitions, with a soft development of the melody and space for silence between sounds.

How does music for hatha yoga differ from other styles

Unlike dynamic styles like vinyasa or ashtanga, hatha yoga does not require musical accompaniment with a clear rhythm and increasing tempo. What is more important here is theatmosphere and texture of sound: ethnic instruments, soft ambient backgrounds, elements of meditative and relaxation music. Mixes for hatha yoga in our catalog are kept at a tempo of 60–80 BPM or are completely devoid of a pronounced rhythm, which allows the instructor to freely vary the duration of asanas without adjusting to musical phrases.

What activities are these mixes suitable for?

• Hatha Yoga classeslasting 60-90 minutes - long continuous mixes eliminate the need to switch tracks during class
• Morning and evening practices - calm sound sets you up for working with the body at any time of the day
• Recovery sessions and stretching - the meditative nature of the compositions helps to relax muscles and relieve tension
• Shavasana and pranayama are the final blocks of the lesson, where the depth of relaxation is especially important

Many of the tracks in this section combine elements of Buddha lounge, ambient and world music, creating a mind-body atmosphere that works equally well in the studio and at home practice. If you teach classes that alternate static asanas, breathing exercises and meditation, hatha yoga mixes will become a universal background that does not distract, but maintains the attention of students.
