  • HIghly Recommend ;)

    Ashtanga-based podcast, with a very open-minded host/yoga practitioner covering not just ashtanga yoga but other aspects relating to yoga as well. Love the variety of guests :))) I always ended up learning something after listening to each episode.

    I absolutely love listening to Adam in episodes where he just speaks as well as those conversation with other yogis and yoginis. There is so much knowledge and depth. The recent episode on when life disrupts your practice resonated with me on so many levels and gave me so much hope as caring for a bag and dropped out of my usual daily practice.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 291 Richard Rosen – Parkinsons and Yoga, What I Learned About Awareness, Breath and Letting Go
Q: How has Parkinson's changed your teaching or your relationship with students?
He notes that he cannot model in person anymore and relies on verbal guidance and props; his openness about the condition has made students more accepting and the teaching environment more inclusive.
Ep 291 Richard Rosen – Parkinsons and Yoga, What I Learned About Awareness, Breath and Letting Go
Q: And emotionally, how did that affect your mind with practice?
Richard explains that he used breath to manage anxiety, avoided heavy medications, and kept practicing consistently, adapting his approach to suit his mental state and stage of Parkinson's.
Ep 274 Adam Husler – The Evolution of a Yoga Teacher
Q: What are your thoughts on touching students in class?
Touch is only with explicit consent and usually only when clearly needed for alignment; I prefer verbal cues and demonstrations first and avoid hidden or generic adjustments to prevent triggering negative experiences.
Ep 274 Adam Husler – The Evolution of a Yoga Teacher
Q: How do you handle challenging students or situations in class?
I use a structured intro, clear cues, and a mix of verbal guidance with measured demonstrations; if someone goes rogue, I bring the group back to the plan and remind them of the class focus while keeping the door open for appropriate assists with consent.
Ep 274 Adam Husler – The Evolution of a Yoga Teacher
Q: Have you ever practiced Ashtanga?
Yes, I started with Ashtanga in my early days and continued to explore its sequences, while also integrating other approaches to balance strength and mobility in teaching.
