Music has the ability to emit emotions that we didn’t even know we were feeling, bring about memories that we had almost forgotten, and transforms ideas and thoughts in ways no other medium could. Scary? Yes. Powerful? You’re damn right. These are the songs I look for when putting together a yoga playlist for my students. I want them to let their minds become free of judgement and for them to express themselves in their purest form. Ranging from deep, powerful lyrics, to heavy bass with foggy and airy overtones, to upbeat tracks that makes you want to move and flow it out, this playlist is designed to guide you through an hour yoga class.
If you have a song that draws out a powerful emotion, thought, or experience, I want to hear it. Who knows, your song might be the next single to appear in my class and be the next “go to” yoga song.

Conscious breakups are never easy. You are losing a soul that you once called your own and are mourning the loss of another human. Coming to terms with the realization that the plan and future you built up in your head will never happen is heart wrenching…

I am just in much disbelief as you are reading these words. It’s 2019 and the new year is already in full swing.
2018 was unbelievably adventurous, chaotic, and unpredictable, which I feel was true for most people. I lost and found myself so many times, and most importantly gave myself the permission to strip aside my past story to come into 2019 into the purest essence of who I am…
I – Nandan Gautam

Become one with source – one with truth and the all knowing that your life will manifest itself exactly as you want it. Not as you envision it, no not even close – as the life that is meant for you is beyond your current comprehension. It is something more grand and more spectacular than you think you deserve…
I Will Be Free – Nandan Gautam

Mantras. Repeated decrees of our truest innermost self that echo and surround our lives, manifesting and propelling ourselves forward.
Mantras are the key of honing your energy and focusing inward. At the beginning of my yoga classes, I love to set a mantra…

“No matter how much you want the mind to be free of thoughts, resisting them only creates tension.”
It takes tremendous rootedness, strength, power, and perseverance to acknowledge what is happening right in front of you…

Mindfulness of the mind.
Mental health and mental healing – all the rave for a select few compared to the majority of people. The people who talk about it, live and swear by it. While those who turn away either have no idea how to start, are even aware that they need healing, or are so afraid of opening that door that they drown out that inner voice with everything and anything…

Generally speaking, a yoga class tends has a single theme: Self love, gratitude, remaining present, acceptance, letting. Whatever it is, the theme is constantly tied and woven throughout class. The instructor gives either givers very direct cues, shares a mantra, a saying that they hold close to their heart, or maybe through their music selection…

I believe in a little thing called love.
Love that transcends all other mediums. Love that seemingly comes out of nowhere, but has a familiar scent. Earth shattering, time altering, aura vibrating love that radiates pure joy and happiness…

Let’s talk about one of yoga’s most difficult position: Savasana. It’s been an hour (at least) of moving and sweating, your body is drained, tired and ready to rest, and then comes the blissful few minutes of laying down on your mat soaking it all in. How on Earth is THAT the hardest pose?…
