The Best New Music for Yoga: September 2018 Edition

Published on September 25, 2018

September serves as the transition between summer and autumn, helping us shift naturally from an expansive, radiant energy to a more internal expression of gratitude and appreciation. It’s the time of the equinox, when yin and yang energies are balanced and the veil between worlds is at its thinnest and most transparent.

This yin/yang balance is apparent in our selection of yoga music this month—here you’ll find several high energy electronica albums alongside more rich and relaxing ambient compositions. We hope this month’s collection of music provides you with a deep state of balance and gives you the ability to pierce through the veil of the mundane to experience higher states of consciousness.
