World Yoga by Putumayo
Take a relaxing journey around the world with these soothing songs from Mali to Nepal and beyond.
Drawing on contemplative sounds from Wales to Tibet and Armenia to Uganda, this collection leads listeners to deeper relaxation and connection with life. With an engaging balance of more traditional yoga sounds and unexpected acoustic gems from Africa and beyond, World Yoga reflects the practice’s planetary impact and grace.
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.
