This is a fitness style that sets yoga to the sounds of live classical music from a variety of string, brass, woodwind and percussion instruments. As part of a campaign called 'Tranquil Tuesday,' the triyoga studio is collaborating with some of the best musicians from the Royal College of Music to provide the soundtrack for these [relaxing fitness classes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-oasis). Each week will feature a different musical instrument, making it possible to really get an appreciation for a single type of sound. A recent study from the [Royal College of Music's Centre for Performance Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbourne-reserve) suggests that the combination of [yoga and music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-maestro) has a positive effect on one's body, mood and stress levels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Musical Yoga:** The fusion of yoga and live classical music offers a unique and immersive fitness experience. - **Tranquil Tuesday:** Collaborating with musicians to create a relaxing yoga session on a specific day of the week presents a novel marketing and wellness opportunity. - **Yoga with Instruments:** Incorporating different musical instruments into yoga classes provides a creative approach to enhance the yoga practice and engage participants. ### Who This Affects Most - **Wellness and Fitness:** The integration of live music into yoga sessions opens up new possibilities for wellness centers, gyms, and yoga studios to differentiate themselves and attract more customers. - **Music and Entertainment:** Collaborating with yoga studios to provide live music accompaniment creates opportunities for musicians to reach new audiences and showcase their talents. - **Marketing and Events:** Creating themed yoga events with live orchestra performances offers event organizers a unique and captivating experience to attract attendees and create memorable experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Live Classical Music Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-classical-music.md) - [Unique Movement-Based Practices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-movementbased-practice.md) - [Meditative Fitness Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lagree-plus.md) - [Immersive Meditative Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-sound.md) - [Immersive Wellness Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theatre-of-digital-art.md) - [Aquatic Sound Meditation Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-meditation.md) - [Bodycare-Inspired Movement Sessions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lush-hour.md) - [Multi-Sensory Spa Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/111skin-and-myndstream.md) - [Somatic Sound Wellness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-sound.md)
