Unfortunately, I must correct that "yoga" is not a music genre. However, I can describe the music genre that is often associated with yoga, which is typically referred to as "New Age" or "Instrumental Yoga Music." This genre is characterized by calming, atmospheric soundscapes, often featuring acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, and flute, accompanied by gentle, repetitive rhythms and soft, wordless vocalizations. Emerging in the 1970s and 1980s, this genre aimed to create a meditative and relaxing atmosphere, drawing from Eastern spiritual traditions and Western ambient music. Its cultural significance lies in its ability to promote mindfulness and inner peace, resonating with the growing interest in wellness and spirituality. Notable elements that set it apart from similar styles include its emphasis on creating a peaceful ambiance and its frequent use of nature sounds and Eastern instrumentation.
