Playlist preset
A timing template for your 60-minute vinyasa flow playlist.
Use this six-phase template to plan your playlist sequence: 5 minutes for arrival, 8 for warm-up, 22 for flow, 10 for the peak, 8 for cool-down, and 7 for savasana. The timing and energy notes give you a structure for choosing music from a quiet opening through a steady build to a gentle close.

Quick answer
For a 60-minute vinyasa flow, give the playlist a clean six-part shape: arrival, warm-up, flow, peak, cooldown, and savasana. The middle carries the class, but the opening and ending determine whether the whole sequence feels intentional.
Preset timing
Use this as the default vinyasa flow playlist map.
| Minutes | Phase | Music job |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to 5 min | Arrival | Soft, spacious tracks that let students land. |
| 5 to 13 min | Warm-up | Steady rhythm for breath, mobility, and sun salutations. |
| 13 to 35 min | Flow | Consistent groove that supports repetition and transitions. |
| 35 to 45 min | Peak | Controlled lift for standing work, balancing, or stronger sequencing. |
| 45 to 53 min | Cool-down | Warm, slower tracks that lower intensity without a hard stop. |
| 53 to 60 min | Savasana | Minimal closing music with no sudden ending. |
Teaching notes
Do not peak too early
The first third should build trust and movement, not burn the room out before the center of class.
Keep flow tracks breathable
A strong groove helps, but the music still needs space for cueing and repetition.
Protect the landing
The cooldown and savasana should feel planned, not like the playlist ran out of energy.
