The countless time I’ve been in a class and fallen deeply in love with a song that I have no idea the name of. While trying to remain present and in the moment, I have at times tried to make a conscious effort to remember to ask my teacher the name of that mysterious piece of music; all the while being swept away by another beautiful song or often times hijacked by my many thoughts. If we end up in pigeon at any point, every emotion under the sun will likely arise and the chance of remembering even the start of the class goes straight out the window. Once I reach Shavasana I’m in a state of utter bliss, from there I will float out of class, make my way home and think to myself ‘I forgot to ask what that song was!!’ For me this story only seems to repeat it-self.

I thought many of you would enjoy some inspiring yoga music to start your collection or to add to it, so I asked some of the teachers at the studio some of their favourites that inspire them.
