Certain music makes you feel good. Certain sounds make you feel relaxed. Certain tempos increase your heart rate. Here is my ultimate guide for all of your wellness needs. If you have a Spotify account, get following!

Yoga Flow

Getting the perfect sounds for your yoga flow is important. If your flow is intense and fast, you need an upbeat playlist that will motivate you and give you energy. If you’re doing a relaxing sun salutation or more of a yin session, then you might opt for a slower and more downbeat playlist.

Meditation

Meditation music is all about creating the right atmosphere so you can focus on your breath. I suggest not having the music too loud, almost just as a relaxing background noise.

Reading

Creating the right environment for reading is pivotal for relaxation and enjoyment. You want to create an atmosphere that gets you in the zone for reading but doesn’t distract you from your book. Try to choose music and sounds where there is no singing or talking, as auditory words distract your brain from reading the words on the page.

Concentration & Focus

If you’re revising for an exam, writing something for work or have a load of spreadsheets to do, opting for music again without words is the best way to get in the zone. The key to concentration music is to have something slightly more upbeat than reading and relaxation music, but which isn’t so upbeat that it is noisy and distracting to your train of thought.

Running

I’ve included a bit of everything here: house, electronic and bass. All of these playlists are upbeat to keep you motivated whilst you are on your run. Mindful running is slightly different, incorporating more of a meditative style of music to help you run more mindfully and be more in tune with your body.

Gym & Working Out

And finally, if you want to absolutely beast your workout, I’ve included some house, dance and bass music to motivate you every rep of the way. These are the genres of music that get me motivated in the gym but if none of these are your style, then some upbeat hip hop will do the same job.
