Yoga music artists

When I teach yoga, the number one thing that most of my students say is “I love your playlist!” I spend much of my time after class writing down yoga music artists for my students, so they can go find them on iTunes later.

Many of my students say that they have a hard time finding their own “yoga music” to enjoy at home or that it takes too much time. So I decided to compile a basic list of the 10 yoga music artists that are simply favorites of me or our yoga studio in general. All of the music provided will easily cross-over into any yoga practice.
