While modern music may not yet be accepted by all yogis, music has always been an integral part of yoga. Yoga chants and yoga mantras have been used to quiet down the thoughts with meditation for centuries, meaning that your breath is not the only rhythm that you can focus on in this practice.

When we chant Om in yoga class,we are clearing the energies both inside and outside of ourselves and we are summoning the divine as we begin our practice. Music can inspire you to move,regulate your nervous system and help you be more in harmony with your practice.
