In her new single, “Yoga,” Asha Maclean invites us to stretch, breathe, and feel. Coming straight from the artsy heart of Lower Manhattan’s Battery Park City, the emerging singer, songwriter, and dancer creates a soulful experience that feels like a vinyasa, graceful, grounded, and unapologetically fierce.
“Yoga” is an emotional experience. The track starts with an intoxicating combination of pop and snippets of throwback ’90s R&B elements, instantly establishing an equally nostalgic and fresh sound. With the beat gradually unfurling, Asha’s silky vocals cascade smoothly on both sides of the production, enveloping you in a sound as fluid and dynamic as the poses it’s named for.
At its heart, “Yoga” is about that beautiful tension inside a modern relationship. The lyrics are that familiar dance between desire and distance, openness and power. It’s the sort of push and pull, like standing in a tree pose in the center of a tornado. It’s messy and complicated but worth every breath. As always, Asha invokes the highs that feel like flying and the lows that dig us deeper, as well as lyrical poetry and infectious rhythm detailing a type of love that is raw, rhythmic, and lasting.
But this song is unique because it captures the essence of yoga’s duality. It’s both calming and energizing, and it is meditative but designed for motion. If it can get you swaying in your bedroom alone or tuning in with your headphones while roaming the city, “Yoga” feels like a customized soundtrack to finding equilibrium in the storm.
The lyric video adds to the experience by flooding Asha’s world with bright expressions and colorful input from the song, giving fans a visual entry point. From the vocals to the visuals, it’s clear that every element has been created with care and intention. “Yoga,” Asha Maclean reaffirms she is a force with depth, clarity, and vision.
