Putumayo World Yoga

A soothing collection of songs from around the world created to accompany yoga practice and support a peaceful, relaxed state in daily life.

Throughout the world, people of all ages and backgrounds are practicing yoga to relax and rejuvenate, and musicians are creating music to accompany it. This planet-wide interest in the age-old Indian practice inspired World Yoga.

“Yoga has become a global experience, and we wanted to expand the music beyond the traditional soundtrack,” explains long-time yoga instructor and musician Sean Johnson, who advised on the album and contributed the beautiful chant “Ramachandra.” “We tried to reflect yoga’s full geographic scope.”

The diversity of World Yoga reflects yoga’s ability to transcend borders and cultural barriers, to move people of different backgrounds. The music promises to turn a daily commute or next round of yoga practice into a meditative yet energizing experience.
