Restorative yoga, like most wellness endeavors intended to quiet the mind and clear the brain, is beautiful and stupid in equal measure. Paying $25 for an hour of carefully architected prostrations feels silly until you actually get over yourself and do it. Ensconced in the warmth and light of your fellow practitioners and those nubby “Mexican blankets” that are exclusive to yoga studios and nowhere else, it becomes easy to step out of your skin and also your brain for one hour to just exist. The thoughts that scrabble through your mind like cockroaches eventually go belly-up, so that you might step over their little corpses on your way to mental clarity.

Music during yoga is necessary, but I feel it is especially so in restorative mode when the practice itself is so deathly quiet. Music masks the heavy breathing of your compatriots and also makes it so that you don’t have to hear the rattling of a garbage truck or the screams of day-drunk individuals pouring out of the bar across the street to Juul.

“Nothing Compares 2 U” is sad even if you are the happiest person in the entire world. “Love Song” is a doozy. Sade’s “By Your Side” is an excellent song for the first dance at a wedding, but if I hear it out in public and am paying enough attention to register what’s going on, I will have to pull over for a silent and cinematic cry before getting on with my day.
