Listen to This 1-Hour Yoga Playlist For Gratitude and an Open Heart

The holidays should be a time of reflection, spending time with loved ones, and focusing on gratitude. But with the stress of the holidays, and the negativity in the world on a day-to-day basis, it can at times be hard to open your heart to gratefulness.
 
This yoga playlist is perfect for a heart-opening yoga class. It’s also great as a soothing background soundtrack while you’re driving, working, or doing chores around the house.
 
Designed to ease in, work up, and then ease out of emotions, this playlist brings peace and contentedness to the pure, grateful heart in all of us.
