FREE YOGA MUSIC FROM MOBY

Moby recently shared a collection of ambient recordings, which he has made available for free download.

Its four hours of music and he's giving it away for free - what a wonderful gift! Moby's yoga music can be downloaded for free or streamed online on spotify, soundcloud, apple music, deezer and tidal. The music is quiet with no drums or vocals. It is slow with calming chords making it ideal for sleeping and yoga. Feel free to share it or give it away.
