“Songs That Help You Float”
— Edamame
For me, Yoga is about connecting your mind, body, breath and spirit. For any music lover like me on the mat, the soundtrack and ambience we set for that one golden hour where we can take a breath and connect with ourselves can really take our practice to another level.
From teachers looking to set the right ambience for their classes, to yogis practising at home, drowning out the washing machine and getting in the zone. This list is based on my own experiences of yoga practice and how the right sounds, tones, rhythms and pace can complement and enhance practice.
Using components of typical class structures; moving from slow meditative grounding, through awakening and energetic flows, to gentle unwinding and blissful endings. Dynamic, contemporary, flowing sounds with an emphasis on creativity, playfulness and always aiming to focus the mind on the body and breath.
This is a list for all the Yogis, but extends to anyone looking to get in touch with body and breath, to dance, to feel the flow of life, to meditate…music is therapeutic and we can also just close our eyes, look inwards and sink into the sounds.
It Feel Like Floating – Mary Lattimore
7 December 2020
The title gives this track away- You sink into the mat, as if into a cloud and then float up into the ether…it feels like floating.
Atoms Song- Teebs

“Warm. Organic. Tumbling. Blissful. Expansive.” I can think of no better words to describe this track and how perfectly it slots into the final moments of a yoga practice.
Reminiscence – Dante Bucci
24 November 2020
Ambient, hums and melodic polyrhythms, this track encourages movement and stillness all at once. With the body warm and full of space, wind your practice down and let the meditative sounds of the drum seep into your inner being.
Two Thousand and Seventeen – Four Tet
16 November 2020
Every yoga class deserves a Four Tet piece and this one is a reward for the time spent on the mat.
Ajooni – Ami Dang
11 November 2020
Absorbing stretched sitar sounds glide and soar, merging with deeper bass tones reverberating from our core as we move into a blissful state of awareness
Nami- Meitei

It’s a masterfully crafted atmospheric piece, lush, spacious layers creating a perfect moment to pause, to reflect and re-centre ourselves whether on the mat and our inner world.
Mango Pulp (feat. Ian Ewing) – Edamame

Edamame, is a purveyor of “songs to help you float” and at 01:04 of Mango Pulp when the beat drops, it feel likes like sinking into a vast, warm, humming cloud of energy.
Monday- Frameworks

Some songs just have the right combinations to unlock our shackles and free us to move. Mondays by Frameworks embodies that feeling of breaking free and floating lightly on a sea of tranquility.
Son Kunda – Susso
12 October 2020
We can’t help but want to move with the percussion and lively vocal samples taking us to the dusty villages and snaking rivers of Gambia. For yoga practitioners, this is a fun track full of the warm energy of community, something to bring to the mat or to your own tribe.
Tristan De Liege – Descanso

Closer to a martial arts soundtrack, Descanso will lead you through some of the more powerful movements in Yoga.
