I like a little beat with my yoga. Actually, I like a lot of beat with my yoga (the more base, the better?). So today, I wanted to share some of my favorite upbeat + energizing yoga songs with you, in the hopes that they'll add a bit of flavor to your yoga class playlists. I play most of the following songs during the more heated parts of my classes--sun salutations, a fast-paced surya namaskar B-inspired flow, or during a quicker warm-up sequence--because they're great for building energy and getting everyone moving and breathing together. Thus, without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite energizing yoga songs. Oh, and they're not in any sort of order this time around (that would have been too hard!). You can listen below: 1. Elephant Style by The Dum Dum Project 2. The Garden by Cut Chemist 3. Shrine by Beats Antique 4. The Fear by Ben Howard 5. Khalgi Stomp (Thievery Corporation Mix) by Transglobal Underground 6. Anthem by Emancipator (Also: Lion Heart, With Rainy Eyes, and Soon It Will Be Cold Enough to Build Fires) 7. Parashakti by Wah! 8. Quimey Neuquen (Remix of Jose Larralde Original) by Chancha via Circuito 9. Days to Come by Bonobo (And really anything by Bonobo. My other faves are Ketto, Sapphire, First Fires, All in Forms, Black Sands) 10. Ca Se by Scotch & Sofa Honorable mention (Didn't make the cut but are really great!):
Also, there are a few songs that *would have* made this list if they weren't already included in some of my past yoga music-related lists/round-ups. You can check them out below:

hey, thank you for your playlist. i was looking exactly for this kind of music. i was looking for something similar to dj drez but i found tons of similar bands that were a little bit "roots" like "jamaican roots" on their styles and i don't like that at all, and what u shared is a lot of more original. thank you!
