MUSIC MATTERS: HERE ARE 5 SOOTHING SONGS TO REDUCE STRESS
If you’ve ever taken a barre3 class in-studio, you know the feeling.
After 50+ minutes of invigorating cardio and body-balancing moves, your instructor asks you to sit or lie down on your mat and close your eyes. Suddenly, the music shifts from high-energy tunes to soothing melodies, and your mindset shifts right along with it. No matter what you were feeling when you walked into class, you now feel calm and grounded, present in your body and connected to those around you.
A recent study by AudienceNet found that 69% of people listen to music to help them feel less stressed or anxious, and it’s easy to see why. Just like movement, music has the incredible ability to shift our energy, helping us let go of the negative and embrace the positive.
We asked Producer and Instructor Trainer Andrew Ash to share some of his favorite calming tunes. (In addition to being the mastermind behind our online workouts, Andrew is also in charge of all our in-studio music.) Here are his recommendations for songs to soothe the soul.
Ave, by Pablo Nouvelle
Them, by Nils Frahm
The Lighthouse, by Musicboxes
Island Songs VII, by Ólafur Arnalds – Doria
Clear Language, by Balmorhea
