Yoga With Adam

Here's a short seated practice with a series of folds, twists, side stretches, and general all-around relaxation. A great way to unwind at the end of the day or prepare for meditation. One of my favourite go-to sequences. (Gentle/8 minutes)Donate a small amount to help keep this podcast free The post Ep. 43 – Sit, Stretch, Unwind appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Here's a full length live class that does a bit of everything while keeping it simple, but certainly not easy.

Right to the point. Here are three half salutations, two low lunging salutations with locust pose to warm up, three sun-salute a's, and three sun salute b's. Perfect way to get ready for your standing poses or just have a morning invigoration. (All Levels/14 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. 41 – Sun Salute Away appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

This class is hard but a different type of hard than usual. We'll focus on accessible hamstring and hip flexibility poses as we prepare for some forward folds through a slow and steady flow that builds plenty of heat. Additionally, we'll include options for a grounding headstand. But don't worry if you don't want to invert, there's an option for Pigeon Pose instead. This class requires focus and helps you develop your patience and ability to stay mindful. (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. 39 – Ground, Centre, Breathe. appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

I love me some bolster time. Here's a reasonably long and indulgent slow and relaxing practice involving a bolster. We'll do child's pose, twist, recline over the bolster and then have some full release into savasana. If you don't have a bolster, don't despair, you can get creative and use some cushions, some blankets rolled around your rolled mat, and whatever else you can get your hands on.

This is a practice for when you've been sick for awhile and still don't have much energy but need to do something. We'll spend most of the time on the floor or seated stretching and moving through most of the body in a very gentle way, breathing, and calming down the mind while stimulating the immune system. We end with a very gentle legs up the wall inversion. (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. 37 – Sick of Being Sick appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Wiped out from the gym and your cardio routine? Here's a quick fix practice to stretch hamstrings, hips, quads, shoulders and just cool you down in general.

This class is all about the flow, the feeling, and the energy of the practice. I spend a lot of the time instructing through the musculoskeletal system and getting very specific about alignment. But it's good to let some of that go and just move and breathe. This audio class is all about plugging in to sensation and channeling energy through the body. We'll do an all-around practice but focus mostly on backbends. Strong but options for all levels.

Forearm Stand/Pincha Mayurasana prep and practice using the wall. Need a bit of extra time to work on this pose? We often don't have time to really break it down in crowded studio classes, so here is just what you need to insert into your home practice. I'll guide you through a bit of muscular activation and then instruct slow and steady attempts at the wall. Great way to build strength and familiarity with the inversion so that you can *eventually* work on balancing away from the wall.(Intermediate/8 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. 34 – Forearm Stand at the Wall appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Scorpion Pose, Inverted Staff, and the means to get there! Here's a full length practice with a bit of flow and a bit of detailed work on some tough backbends. If you have time, I suggest starting with some slow warm ups as detailed in my ‘prepare for bigger backbends' blog post. We'll use a wall, a strap, and two yoga bricks. If you do not have two bricks you can use two hardback books of the same size, or follow the alternatives given in the podcast. Have fun and enjoy the buzz!

Beginners, here's a simple but strong flowing practice to keep you moving throughout the week.

Demanding and uncomplicated. In this audio yoga practice we will side bend, twist, and float into handstand and side crow pose. Short and sweet without being rushed. We will start small and calm, build up intensity, and take it back down so you finish feeling balanced. Energising and fun.

Handstand can be incredibly daunting, but there is indeed a path leading up to it. One of the first things you can do is start incorporating some practice at the wall. All you need is a wall, or a door, or a refrigerator you don't mind banging in to. Set your mat and self up facing the wall, do down-dog and follow my clear instructions to hop up like a normal person and develop your strength and confidence in handstanding. (Intermediate/ 5 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. 28 – Handstand at the Wall appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Struggle with balancing? There's a lot in balance poses to manage from feet, to hips, to breath, to focus. Take a little bit of extra practice and take some time to clear your head. Here's a quick sequence focusing on preparation for and execution of tree pose and dancer pose. (All levels/ 16 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. 27 – Balance Blast appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Here's an incremental flow working on flexibility and strength leading up to flying pigeon pose or eka pada galavasana. You'll do plenty of hip opening, core strength, and arm strength work before leading up to some play in the arm balance. Some familiarity with the basic shape as well as the thread the needle hip opening pose will be required or you might get lost in the class.

Hip Opening Yoga PodcastHip opening without much effort. Lie down, exhale, and let go of tension. This is a pretty no fuss, quiet, simple practice that can yield big results. Learn to soften into opening rather than push. The entire practice is on your back and a great way to prepare for a more active flow or to unwind in the evening. Includes openings for inner thigh, hamstring, outer hip, glutes, and front of hip. Basically, everything! (All levels/15 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. 25 – Lazy Hip Opening appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Not every practice has to be full-steam ahead. There are times you want to move, but don't want much intensity, or just simply don't have it in you. This practice is designed to give you a little bit of everything at a slow speed and low intensity. There will be some twisting, some flowing movement, a little balance and standing poses, and a little bit of forward fold at the end. You'll finish feeling embodied, calm, and ready to meditate, rest, or carry on with your day.
