Universal Music Group’s award-winning roster acts as a natural integration into Y7’s new and improved music-forward, digital experience

New York, NY – November 30, 2022 — Y7 Studio, America’s #1 music-driven premium yoga brand, and Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, today announced an exclusive partnership that brings UMG’s artists to the forefront of Y7’s online yoga classes.

Y7 Studio will offer the internet’s first digital yoga platform with synced hit music integrated into all classes, accessible via a new digital-only subscription or through omnichannel memberships. UMG will serve as the exclusive label partner of this overhauled digital platform, enabling an immersive yoga experience driven by both today’s biggest hits and the most iconic songs of all time from the company’s roster of award-winning artists.

“The future of fitness is omnichannel, and it was crucial for us to ensure music was at the heart of our online offering, just as it has been inside our studios,” said Sarah Larson Levey, Founder & CEO of Y7 Studio. “Our exclusive partnership with UMG will pair the world’s best music with the Internet’s sweatiest vinyasa flows, creating an unmatched online yoga experience.”

Music is the lifeblood of the Y7 yoga experience, where its diverse roster of yoga instructors use the beat to drive the breath and pace of their guided vinyasa flows. Other initiatives such as Y7’s monthly Artist Spotlight Program, which amplifies up-and-coming BIPOC artists, will also now tap into UMG’s artist roster

Bryan Stone, UMG’s Senior Vice President of Business Development & Global Digital Strategy, said: “We are excited to partner with Y7 to bring their music-centric brick-and-mortar experience into the digital realm with the world’s biggest and best recorded music catalog. Y7’s unique yoga workout will be a welcome addition to UMG’s health and wellness portfolio and perfectly complements our goal to harness the motivational and healing power of music.”
