Yoga With Adam

Squat, stretch and flow through this full-length live class. We will work slowly and steadily to release tension in the inner thigh and hamstring muscle groups through a squat infused flow building up to some targeted work in standing poses and standing balances. We will finish on the floor with some great wide-legged stretches. Importantly, we'll do this with an attitude of kindness and acceptance of our inner goodness, no matter what layers of tightness, tension, or anxiety are on top. (All Levels/60 Minutes)Go to https://www.paypal.me/AdamHocke to pay what you canMore yoga podcasts available at adamyogapodcast.comVideo classes available at mfml.co/adamHealth & Safety DisclaimerThe post Ep. 63 – Squat and Stretch Flow appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Here's a no-fuss evening letting go of stress, fatigue, or whatever you need to let go of practice. We'll go through some gentle shoulder, hip, and spine releases and end on the floor. If you want to do more there is an optional additional 10 minutes of restorative and meditation.

We'll begin with some dynamic opening followed by pretty straight forward flow with loads of attention on opening across the front of the hips. This energetic chain up the front helps us break through all the stress and tension we accumulate from sitting or scrunching in through stress. After some nice stretching, we'll get detailed about our standing poses and finish with some backbends. Strong but relaxing! (All levels/60 minutes)Go to https://www.paypal.me/AdamHocke to pay what you canMore yoga podcasts available at adamyogapodcast.comVideo classes available at mfml.co/adamHealth & Safety DisclaimerThe post Ep. 61 – Hip Pointers appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Short, strong, and to the point. 5 minutes of meditation, 20 minutes of practice (hip warm up, flow, standing poses, back bend and twist), 5 minutes of savasana.

Here's an all levels flow to awaken the upper body through stretch, strength, arm balance, and inversion. We'll go through a well rounded series of postures and spend a bit of time on bakasana and handstand (or the prep work to get there).

This slightly more advanced flow leads up to bird of paradise, eka hasta bhujasana (pictured), and compass pose. It involves patient working with hamstrings, leg and glute strength, and shoulder and chest opening because one way or another you have to get your leg over your shoulder or your shoulder under your leg. Although strong and pretzely, this flow isn't rushed and you will have plenty of time to work in to these tough postures.

We're going to twist while balancing in a number of ways. We'll strengthen core, deepen spinal twist, and learn how to breathe and stay focused through it all. We'll also work on balancing in other ways with some handstand/l-shape hops. This is a sweaty and strong flow but with options for different levels as usual. Labeled intermediate as it may get tough, but most of the shapes are accessible.

For years I struggled with and against my hamstrings and sought every way possible to stretch them. But sometimes the indirect path is the best and leads to a more pleasant journey. This practice will stretch the hamstrings by not stretching the hamstrings constantly and directing some attention to the calfs below and the inner thighs to the side of the hamstrings and give you a way of easing tension on the back of the thigh. Add to your warm up or just do on its own. (All levels/19 minutes)Go to https://www.paypal.me/AdamHocke to pay what you canMore yoga podcasts available at adamyogapodcast.comVideo classes available at mfml.co/adamHealth & Safety DisclaimerThe post Ep. 56 – Hamstring Helpers appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Here's a full length class recorded live focusing on side body, side plank, and a few variations. Through this series we will do plenty of shoulder and chest opening and finish off with some backbends. Even though there are a few tough poses we will move slowly and have options for all levels. Movements will be dictated by breath and we will repeatedly come back to self-directed intentions for practice.

We stretch our hamstrings and glutes a lot in yoga but we don't often spend time strengthening them. This short practice will give you a quick fix you can repeat regularly as well as give you ideas to add strength to your regular practice. Hopefully this will help diminish the likelihood of the common yoga injury of pulls and tears at the hamstring attachment (‘yoga butt'). (All Levels/13 Minutes)Go to https://www.paypal.me/AdamHocke to pay what you canMore yoga podcasts available at adamyogapodcast.comVideo classes available at mfml.co/adamHealth & Safety DisclaimerThe post Ep. 54 – Strengthen Hamstrings & Glutes appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Let's twist! In this full length class you will learn how moving the hips help you deepen your twists. We'll progressively deepen our twists building up to revolved triangle and finish it off with a few backbends, including some variations of either bridge pose or upward-facing bow pose depending on your desired intensity. All the while we'll let these deep sensations bring us into the present moment.

How to do Crow PoseBakasana, Crow Pose, Crane Pose, or whatever you want to call it can be tough. Really, it is just a combination of a bunch of simple and common yoga postures and movements. Combining them can, however, be tricky. This short tutorial practice will teach all elements of the pose separately, along with some poses to help prime the body, and eventually we'll go all out into bakasana. Enjoy and keep practicing. (20 minutes/Intermediate)Go to https://www.paypal.me/AdamHocke to pay what you canMore yoga podcasts available at adamyogapodcast.comVideo classes available at mfml.co/adamHealth & Safety DisclaimerThe post Ep. 49 – Bakasana, Crow Pose, Crane Pose appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Before meditation, before bedtime, or before anything stressing you out, here's a short, slow, and chill practice to unwind through the hips and spine. You'll spend most of the time lying down and letting tension unwind. All you need is a yoga brick or a firm cushion. (Gentle/20 Minutes)Go to https://www.paypal.me/AdamHocke to pay what you canMore yoga podcasts available at adamyogapodcast.comVideo classes available at mfml.co/adamHealth & Safety DisclaimerThe post Ep. 48 – Slow & Chill appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

This strong and sweaty flow will help open the chest and release the spine in preparation for some backbends. We'll do a progression of deep twists leading up to revolved triangle and then work on dancer pose and upward-facing bow (wheel) pose. We'll also sneak in some work on forearm balance. Great for uplift and energising and building your resilience through challenge. (All Levels/60 Minutes)Go to https://www.paypal.me/AdamHocke to pay what you canMore yoga podcasts available at adamyogapodcast.comVideo classes available at mfml.co/adamHealth & Safety DisclaimerThe post Ep. 47 – Deep Twist and Backbend Flow appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

The body can be our map back to reality and sanity. We will flow from head to toe, stretching, strengthening, and experiencing the physical and energetic body as a means of bringing our attention into the present moment and experiencing undistorted reality – in contrast to most everyone's habit of living in illusory thoughts and emotions from the past or future. This will be a straight-up and complete flow practice, strong but accessible to all levels. Expect to move, sweat, and get out of your head.
