In the busy and bright world that we live in one of the advantages of yoga is that it is a basically a silent practice. We do not jump around to loud energetic music like in an aerobics class, in yoga we focus on the breath and the internal processes of the practice, some classes have a meditative kind of music plays low in the background but it is not necessary for practice to have music.

Yoga is an exercise that is closely associated with the practice of meditation. Indeed, Yoga and meditation are so intertwined that you can not practice Yoga without taking meditation. It is the meditation that helps in bringing harmonization of body and mind, from which the name Yoga originates.
