I think it is even less necessary in a class, when there is an energy flow from many people. I used to listen to music when I started my home practice, but now it seems unnecessary.

It's not often that you get to pay such close attention to the sound, rhythm and motion of your own living breath. Music, especially when it's loud, drowns out that vital part of the experience.

The article says casual athletes need a distraction like music, chatting, reading to workout. Serious athletes don't need it. Hmm.. interesting. May be I have become a serious yogi. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/18/fashion/18FITNESS.html?scp=1&sq=treadmill%20music&st=cse Music and the treadmill.

Surya namaskar with the live chant is an amazing experience. If the teachers can chant live, that is beautiful. I have never needed music while doing anything super interesting. I don't think one needs to listen to music while skiing, snowboarding, surfing, playing tennis or basketball. You need so much focus, concentration and enjoy the exhilaration. I consider an asana practice in the same range. Just be there for the experience. Using music equates yoga with aerobics or the dreaded treadmill. Just get it through and be done with the workout attitude. I agree with you about chanting. Surya namaskar with the live chant is an amazing experience.
