Yoga With Adam

In this live class we will work up to bird of paradise posture, along with some other deep stretchy bound standing poses. We will use a contract and relax technique to help us reduce tension in the muscles and the nervous system. Prepare for a lot of hip opening and hamstrings stretching. Importantly, we will make it all accessible with props and straps. Enjoy!

This practice is all about finding strength through challenge. We will go through a full and complete flow focused mainly on shoulder and core integrity. We will build up to bound standing poses, bakasana, and a few attempts at hopping into forearm stand. Importantly, we will remember that although this practice challenges our physical strength, there are many types of strength we can develop!

Energise your legs and bum through strength and stretch work. We'll do a combination of strength drills and traditional yoga postures including squat, chair pose, high lunge, warrior three, pigeon, and bridge. We'll emphasise strength and openness in hip flexors, glutes, calf muscles, and hamstrings.

As a special 100th episode bonus, here is a 75-minute live class recorded in London. We will build awareness of the tripod of the foot and use it as a foundation to flow, balance, and build side plank variations. This one is slow, steady, and strong and includes one of my signature chaturanga rants. Enjoy!

This live class is slow, steady, and strong. We will work methodically through a series of lunges, twists, and standing balances as we work with outer hip stabilisers, rotators, and glute muscles. Expect to practise revolved triangle, revolved half moon, and a standing balance twist. And what gets strengthened gets stretched as there will be plenty of opportunity to stretch your thighs and hips throughout the sequence.  (60 minutes/All Levels) Or go to https://www.paypal.me/AdamHocke to pay what you canVideo classes available at mfml.co/adamMore yoga podcasts available at adamyogapodcast.comHealth & Safety DisclaimerThe post Ep. 99 – Love your hips (strength and stretch) appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

Treat yourself to a twenty-minute savasana. I'll give you a few prop ideas (with more below), a bit of breath and basic instruction, and then hold a twenty-minute space for you to dive in. It's tough work, but super rewarding and ultimately relaxing – although there may be a few bumps along the way. Dive in!

This live class is all about breath and transitional movements. Starting by feeling the foundational wave of breath generated by the movement of our diaphragms we will build a flow practice. We work on bringing ease to sometimes tough transitions like stepping a leg through, hopping forward from down-dog, and hopping into handstand. All the while, we'll find the movement of breath in seemingly still shapes through a full practice that gets to a bit of everything.

Here's a quick reset to get back, shoulders, neck, spine, and you feeling good! We'll use the wall to stretch, fold, twist, and release. While we're there we'll do some super simple neck-releases and forward folds. Great for after-work, evening, or when you just want to get in your body and out of your head.

This is a morning session for when you aren't fussed about developing anything new but want to keep your practice on the road. I call it general maintenance as it's what I do to keep myself together. Maybe you're a little tired, or busy, or just want something simple. It's an all-around flow practice with hip and shoulder stretches, sun salutations, standing poses, an inversion, and a bit of backbend.

The goal of this live class is to move the arms and shoulders throughout their range of motion. Often we only go through the same movements in every practice but it's time to shake it up. We will have a well-rounded flow with familiar standing postures but will move the arms in slightly different ways. We will work up to a couple binds and practice dolphin and forearm stand. The practice ends with front chest opening stretches and backbends to balance you off.

Let's map our bodies! Starting with our feet and working our way up we will bring awareness, stretch, strength and energetic sensation throughout the whole body so that we know ourselves more deeply. We will go through some standing poses, binds, twists and backbends in a well rounded and moderately paced flow. You'll need a block, a brick, and whatever blankets, bolsters, and eye bags you can assemble for savasana.

Get out of your habit and connect to your center! This one's all about how we can touch, move, twist, lengthen, and most importantly, bring awareness to our center (including Psoas/QL). We will begin with a prone savasana to stimulate belly and go through a slow flow leading up to revolved triangle, dancer pose, and pigeon pose with a couple arm variations. For a bit of a change, we will skip chaturanga and work on many locusts and planks instead. You'll need a blanket or towel, a brick or two, and whatever savasana props you want.

Quick fix for belly love. Feel your core, release your hip flexors, move your diaphragms, and calm your digestive system through a blanket roll, touch, stretch, and breath. Great for warm-up or a wind-down. You'll need a blanket or towel and a yoga brick (or something that size).

Throughout this flow we will stabilise, breathe, and feel into the width of the body. We'll have loads of bakasana play, side body stretch, outward expansive breath, and a bit of intercostal self-massage. We'll go through a well-rounded flow that will give you opportunities for shoulder blade broadening, hip and glute stabilising, and upper body strengthening. Plus some bonus deep core work and arm balances on and off your back.

This one is for mornings when you can't get yourself going. We will start lying down with gentle stretches and movements to prime the pump. Eventually, we will settle into a slow flow that emphasises body length and energetic flow from bottom to top. Pace will gradually pick up leading up to a finale of L-shaped handstand supported by the wall. We will leave it there so you can start your day with a little buzz of energy.

In this flow, we will ride the wave of breath. We'll go through salutations, standing postures, and backbends whilst feeling the natural movement of diaphragms that massage our internal organs and, most especially, our hearts. There will be some breath-based play into crow pose and handstand to build some heat. Along the way we will stretch and self-massage the chest to allow deeper feeling and expansion of breath. Props needed: Bolster, Blanket, Eye Bag – although you can make do without them.(60 minutes/All levels)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. 87 – Heart Massage Flow appeared first on Adam Hocke Yoga.

We get awfully funny about the curves in our lumbar spine in yoga practice. We do all sorts of things to tuck, lengthen, or lift. How about we just have a play and feel our natural curves in actions through a few bits of sun salutation, standing poses, and backbend? A feel-good quick-fix and exploration for the lower back.

Slow, strong, and deeply grounding, here's a flow to start off 2018. Throughout the class we will form an energetic relationship to the ground through the hands and feet, and transfer that energy into the trunk through a root of thighbone into hip. Along the way we will work on boat pose, tolasana, pick-up and lift transitions, and forward folds. Get on your mat!

Practice along with me as I attempt to execute poses I've done at least once (or maybe a few times more) before. They include side plank variations with dancer pose and half lotus, scorpion pose, eka hasta bhujasana, and loads of hopping around. Definitely challenging. Definitely fun.
