Back to Episodes42. How to Use Music in Yoga Classes: Legal, Practical, and Energetic Tips
Description
Whether you love crafting playlists or prefer teaching in silence, this episode helps you make thoughtful, legally sound, and energetically aware choices about music in yoga classes. I walk you through:
- the legal requirements most teachers overlook
- nuts-and-bolts tech tips to avoid disruption
- and the nuanced ways sound shapes student experience.
You’ll also get guiding principles and practical options for building your confidence and versatility—so your class can thrive with or without music.

September’s lesson plan in the Prep Station is Balance Play Trio. The recording is already waiting in the Movement Library, and I teach the plan live on Mondays, September 14, 21, and 28, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, with 15 minutes afterward for your questions. Every class posts as a recording. It’s all part of the Yoga Class Prep Station, $39 a month.
