Mantras like "Aum" and "Lokah Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu," which are frequently said to commence and conclude a yoga practise, are well known to many yogis. Yoga and mantras have a lengthy and entwined history. But playing music during a yoga session besides mantras? However, not everyone concurs with that.

Some people think it detracts from traditional yoga or is too distracting. As calm of the mind does not always equate to silence, music driven yoga can actually enhance your practise for both you and your students.

Yoga is traditionally a spiritual exercise, so stillness could seem to go well with that. However, the core concept of yoga is inner quiet or silence. "Yogas chitta vritti nirodha" is how Patanjali, one of the founders of the yoga philosophy, defines yoga. This signifies the same thing as yoga stilling the mind when translated from Sanskrit. This concept holds that yoga stabilises the mind's turbulence. What is left is mental calm, which allows you to perceive life honestly without diversionary thoughts or preconceived notions.

You may also refer to it as turning inward or returning to your body and self while your mind is still. This is exactly what music driven yoga offers to many of the students, and it does the same for the adults. People can absolutely let go of things, focus inside, and feel grounded and connected when they practise yoga. And music may be a huge asset in helping with this.
