Silent yoga with headphones: how it works and what you need

In silent yoga, every participant hears your voice and the music through wireless headphones. There are no speakers in the room. Anyone walking past hears nothing. Anyone taking part hears only the class. You may also see it called quiet yoga or silent disco yoga. Teachers use it in the park, on the beach and in studios where two classes run side by side.

How does silent yoga work?

You need a transmitter, a headset with microphone for yourself and headphones for each participant.

• The transmitter connects to your phone: via Bluetooth, just like a speaker, or with a cable. You play music in the app you already use, for example Spotify or YouTube. You don't need to install anything and you don't need wifi.
• The headset with microphone is for you to wear. Your hands stay free to demonstrate poses, and participants hear your voice over the music.
• The headphones you hand out. Switching them on and putting them on is all it takes. Everyone sets their own volume.

Why teachers choose it

Teaching outdoors without speakers. In the park or on the beach, only your group hears the class. Bystanders hear no music and you don't have to talk over the traffic.

More calm in class. Your voice and the music sound close by, even when you speak softly. That helps with a guided meditation, with breathwork and during the final relaxation.

Two classes side by side. Is another class running in the room next door? With a separate set and a separate transmitter for each group, every group hears only its own teacher.

Which set do you need?

Count the participants in your busiest class and take that number as your starting point. Complete sets are available for 10 to 100 participants. For each set you can see which transmitter it contains and whether a headset with microphone for the teacher is included. If your group grows, you expand the set with extra headphones.

Look at the sets for yoga schools and studios, or compare all complete sets.

Range, battery and delivery

• Range: outdoors 100 to 500 metres, depending on the transmitter and the headphones. Indoors it is less, because walls and a lot of people weaken the signal.
• Battery: headphones play for about 8 hours on one charge. Charging takes 3 hours on average.
• Power: choose a transmitter with a built-in battery, such as the TX20, T70 or T80 Pro, and you won't need a power socket outdoors.
• Delivery: ordered before 16:00 on a working day, shipped the same day.

Tips for your first class

• Charge the headphones and the transmitter the day before.
• Test the setup beforehand at the spot where you teach, especially if that is outdoors.
• At the start, let participants set their volume while you talk and the music plays softly in the background.
