Music for Yoga Classes
Creating the Perfect Playlist
Description
A student's yoga experience begins the minute they step their foot into the studio doors. There are many factors that can make or break a student's experience in the studio or in your class- music is one of them. Many yoga training programs do not offer comprehensive training to students on how to curate their playlists, or how to be culturally appropriate, and this course seeks to fill that gap.
There are many in-depth questions that this course considers. Some of them are listed below.
1. How do you use music to preserve dharana (concentration) throughout your class, and how do you ensure your music is not counter-productive in producing this essential concentration?
2. How do you use music as a tool to promote pranayama and energy building?
3. How do you offer non-verbal cues of the pacing that your flow will adapt through music?
4. How do you use music as a tool to emphasize your theme?
5. How do you create playlists that are powerful, culturally appropriate, and supportive for students and for yourself as an instructor?
As an in-studio and online instructor who has been praised for her playlists, Alisha offers crucial support to instructors in this short, informative course on curating the proper yoga playlist. Music does not just enhance the student experience, but it also promotes your confidence as an instructor, especially in your early stages of teaching.
