Playlist for yoga practice
On September 14, 2022 by marghevivianiIn this post, I share my favorite yoga playlist from Apple music that you can also listen on your computer.
Stillness of the mind
Traditionally yoga is a spiritual practice, in which silence may feel fit better. Still, yoga is basically about inner silence or rather inner stillness. Patanjali (one of the founding fathers of the yoga philosophy) defines yoga as “ Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodha ”. From Sanskrit, this means as important as yoga stilling the mind. You may also call it turning inward or coming home to yourself and your body while the mind quiets.
Music can support this turning inward. It can help you to get
into that physical and internal inflow. So in this sense, using
music clearly doesn't have to abstract from the yoga
tradition.
Music can support this turning inward. It can help you to get into that physical and internal inflow. So in this sense, using music doesn’t have to abstract from the yoga tradition. Playing music to support your inflow and soul-searching may be kindly different than how Patanjali intended the yoga sutras when he wrote them down some centuries BC, but we also can not deny how important the world and the way we exercise yoga have changed since also.
In my particular experience music is really helpful to find my inner stillness and inflow during my yoga practice. Of course, this is different for everyone, but especially when you’re fluently distracted music can be great to mute background noises.
