The sound of practice
Every yoga teacher knows the moment: the room settles, the breath deepens, and the wrong track pulls everyone out of it. A sudden vocal. A jarring tempo shift. A track that belongs in a coffee shop, not on a mat.
The right music does the opposite. It becomes invisible — supporting the breath, matching the movement, holding the space without demanding attention. The transition between poses and the transition between tracks should feel synchronized, like the music was composed for this exact sequence.
Different styles need different sound. Vinyasa flow needs rhythm that builds and releases with the sequence. Yin needs ambient textures so subtle they almost are not there. Hot yoga calls for deeper beats that match the intensity. Restorative needs something so gentle it borders on silence.
And then there is savasana — where the music carries the entire emotional weight of the class. Getting that right is an art. Puana was built for spaces exactly like this.
Sound for every style
Schedule different sounds for every class on your calendar — in 15-minute blocks, with automatic transitions and volume changes. The music shifts as naturally as the breath.
World music, ambient electronic, downtempo. Tracks that rise and fall with the sequence. Energy builds toward peak, then softens.
Ambient drones, soft textures, open space. Music that holds a three-minute pose without changing. Stillness with warmth.
Deeper beats, tribal rhythms, lo-fi electronic. Matches the physical intensity without overwhelming the heat.
Gentle piano, nature-inspired ambient, soft bells. So quiet it almost is not there. The room breathes on its own.
The emotional landing of the entire class. Warm, weightless, held. No lyrics. No rhythm. Just presence and release.
Light acoustic, soft ambient. Students arriving, mats unrolling. The space transitions from one energy to the next.
From a cafe in Michigan
“The best background music is the kind you stop noticing because the space just feels right. That is what I wanted to build.”
Jesse Meria runs a cafe in Charlevoix, Michigan. He built Puana because finding the right background music for a real space was harder than it should have been — personal playlists are illegal, business music services sound generic, and nobody wants to manage three separate licensing agencies just to play ambient piano.
Puana is a library of thousands of original tracks — each one composed to feel like it belongs somewhere real. You describe the atmosphere you want. Puana plays exactly that.
Whether it is a morning cafe, a candlelit dinner service, or a sunrise vinyasa class — the principle is the same. The right music disappears into the space and makes everything in it work better.

The math
Personal streaming services are not licensed for commercial use. The fine for copyright infringement is up to $30,000 per track. And 83% of businesses are doing it right now without knowing.
The “legal” alternative? A business music service ($25–30/mo) plus BMI ($250-500/year) plus ASCAP ($220-500/year) plus SESAC ($200-400/year). Total: $470-1,400+/year per year. And the music probably was not made with a yoga studio in mind.
Music service + BMI + ASCAP + SESAC
Everything included. No PRO fees.
Common questions

It depends on the style. Vinyasa and power yoga work well with ambient electronic, world music, and rhythmic downtempo. Yin and restorative need barely-there ambient, soft drones, and nature-inspired textures. Puana has thousands of original tracks spanning ambient, new age, world, acoustic, classical, lo-fi, and electronic — all composed for real spaces.
Yes. Puana's scheduling works in 15-minute blocks. Set your 6 AM vinyasa flow, your 10 AM yin class, your noon power session, and your evening restorative — each with its own genre, energy level, and volume. Set it once and it runs automatically.
Puana's tracks are composed to sit underneath instruction. Most are instrumental with soft dynamics — designed to fill the space without competing for attention. Volume scheduling lets you set precise levels for each class so the teacher is always heard clearly.
Yes. The majority of Puana's library is instrumental. You can filter for instrumental-only playback, ensuring no vocals appear during meditation, savasana, or any segment where words would be a distraction.
