How to Use Music Effectively In Your Yoga Classes with Iszabel

This week on the podcast I am joined by Iszabel, an Ecstatic Dance DJ, Movement Medicine Teacher, Sound Technician and Sound Therapist. She holds classes, workshops, retreats and ceremonies around the world and hosts a monthly radio show on OpenLab, ‘Music Medicine’, and runs an online DJ course – ‘DJ Mystery To Mastery’ is a heart-based approach to the art of mixing music. In this episode, we are talking about the power of music and how to use music effectively in your yoga classes. Music can help your students get deeper into their yoga practice when used effectively and Iszabel has some great tips for how to get started with this, what to consider when making a playlist, and much more.

Enjoy!

Magic Mind contains minimal caffeine, and the caffeine it does have comes from the matcha tea. It also has all natural ingredients, adaptogens to help decrease stress and nootropics to boost blood flow and cognition.
