Great podcast, I can't do Mari D. It hurts my body attempting to bind so I've given up trying to do it. It's safer for me to work on pasasana

How does it feel like to sit with him hit me hard. I miss my guru

Loved this one so much, Adam !!! I had to work on my deep rooted need for internal and external validation while facing fresh injuries in a room full of acrobatic yogis in Mysore. One of the most brutal lessons ever. But now, for example, when I let go of the 'bind' (knowing very well that I can bind) respecting the aches and pains, it feels like a more advanced act to be honest. From channeling and letting out my anger into the practice to pushing into the poses and now to finding softness has been such a wild ride and a huge transition that cannot be seen from outside or in the 'ideal' shapes.

Another one🎉❤

Thank you Adam. Wise words as always. I wonder if the only way really to understand what you are saying is to practise consistently for years and years and discover for ourselves what ‘pushing’ is and is not, and what works/what doesn’t work. I like the idea of a more gentle Ashtanga practice but on the other hand I sometimes need a bit of a push (eg a led class even if only online) to get me to practise at all… PS are we going to have a Keen on Yoga book anytime soon??!! The Ashtanga literature in terms of new releases has been a little light in recent years (at least in the UK) and maybe some of this stuff should be committed to writing rather than just TH-cam? Which is not to say the online stuff isn’t great; it is 😊

Thank you Adam for your words of wisdom. I realized that I have destroyed my knees by forcing myself into postures that my body was not ready for. Now, Iam forced to slow because of knee pain.

indeed, keep in mind - and don’t beat yourself up for beating yourself up either!

I enjoyed this podcast , it’s where I am . I got up this morning and decided to really work on my forward bends , I beat myself up mentally first and saw an image of myself as being way not good enough and from a Catholic background I was in that position of suffering as you talked about. Deep down I know what my body is capable of but my mind just keeps up the pressure. Thank you I’m just going to go down and keep your podcast in mind as I do my practice 👍👍👍

Great stuff, thank you Adam. I’m one of those people who’ve been practising pretty solidly for nearly 20 years but have never ‘progressed’ beyond primary series. To be honest I don’t find that demoralising or boring at all - it still challenges me and gives me so much. But after hearing this, I’m thinking I might dust off the old David Swenson manual and take a look at those intermediate poses (or at least the early ones). I’ve done a few in the past in classes but now practise 100% from home due to time constraints. Will be interesting to see if those additional backbends help with the wheel in primary! Although to be honest I get a lot of juice out of my updogs in primary so wheel feels good to me (mostly!) even without any intermediate. Thank you for all of these posts - they are such a wonderful resource.

Eternally grateful to You Adamji and Garyji🙏🙏🙏

Very informative, that was really good. Thank you

Great conversation, always good to keep coming back to discuss assists. Cheers Adam

Thank you! Amazing interview!

Great and informative discussion friends

Excellent info… bought the book.

Your life is not your problem Its his

What an amazing guest. I'm reading his book so it came with great joy that I saw that he was interviewed. Thanx for the interview. Loved it😊

His book is killer!

I don't think he really understands Advaita Vedanta, particularly the Maya part. Maya is the power of Brahman, like heat from the fire. Can you differentiate between heat and fire and call it dual?

Music is too loud, can’t hear you

Thank you for your work ❤

Lots of Nick’s sentences went right over the host’s head. Must be the language barrier.

Thank you for those very precious insights. Loved this episode. Thank you Adam!😊

Such an important topic, this was great food for thought. Thank you!

Love listening to Ian, this whole path of enlightenment, there's me sitting in a council flat in ordsall Salford listening to people having had these mystical experiences. .... I hope Ian will release the secret temple book again. If he could recommend the best books on Tummo.

Hi! Is the full video still available for purchase?

much needed to hear this :)

Great chat! On a separate note...Adam do you have any vids where you give advice for an older yogi returning to practice?

Hey dear, I think there is unrealized potential in your TH-cam channel. I want to provide you some tips and techniques to help you get it unlocked. Could we have a discussion?

I am so deeply grateful for this conversation. I was a vegetarian/vegan for so long, but it just doesn't work for me. When I eat ancestrally (animal protein) I feel SO much better, but I didn't have the confidence to own it within the yoga community until now. This conversation feels like the answer I needed for my dietary questions. Thank you for liberating us.

A true teacher meet them where they're at and take them forward so lovely so many yoga classes you feel like a soldier imitating somebody will never be like

Very interesting views. Loved this interview. Thank you to both of you for so much jewels❤

Very beautiful insight - thank you 🙏

What a great guest and pleasant surprise! With great ease of speech and knowledge, from, excellent experiences about Krishnamacharya, and clarifications about the understanding and objectives of yoga. A second part would be great. Thank you so mucho for this one

I could relate to the point wherein I also did not feel like a part of the group in the Mysore circle that I was in when I unsubscribed from the guru. But as somebody who has learned to fly solo from a very early age, I didn't care much about being part of any yoga group or community. It's only recently that I woke up to the power of having like minded individuals around when I went through tough times of being injured in Mysore and for a change I didn't feel alone in a crisis-like situation. I also appreciate your online Mysore space which feels very free, there is no sense of competition and everybody is on their own journey which has given me more space to explore my inner world than any shala around. I also met few people there who warmed my heart with their free spirit, friendship and companionship on the journey that can be quite challenging at times. 🙏💛

Thank you Adam. I particularly liked your points about the current series/sequences being modern inventions and in a continuing state of flux/development. They seem fallible and imperfect like every other human invention. I think that’s a nice counterpoint to another human urge which is to seek to explain away things as god given and therefore perfect and immutable. The truth (as always with humans) is more messy - but no less interesting as a result. Thank you for these, Adam - your thoughts are much appreciated.

Gary Kraftsow, founder of Viniyoga, shares profound insights from his time with yoga legends Krishnamacharya and Desikachar. His experiences highlight the depth and transformative power of personalized yoga practice.

The most miraculous things I experienced with sadhus was that they never run out of tea and hashish, even when there are lots of people.

🙏🏼♥️🙌🏼

Just discovered this. Lovely interview. David comes across as a really interesting guy. Not sure I could manage 2 meals a day and all that cooking given the various life commitments! But it is good that we have people like David (and Adam) who can show us the benefits of a lifetime devoted to the practice.

Great, Thanks

Thank you for sharing about the hip replacement! I’m getting mine done nov 8th. Practice is tough right now. Excited for surgery

Don’t forget to mention your great 15mn short practice on your channel! ❤

Good afternoon Adam, thanks a lot for your talk. It's very interesting and encouraging. Yes, the rules are difficult to follow. I agree on what you say day practice. I always try to practice six or five days a week but many time I don't manage mainly because of lack of time (or maybe I find something else to do not to practice...). I think the rule is necessary because it gives me a benchmark. I've tend to the rule that's enough for me. Usually I practice 4 times a week but without the rule for daily practice I probably would practice even less than that. My teacher has a shala where he teach Mysore style 3 times. Some other times I practice by myself. Practicing in a yoga class is more motivating even if concentration is not always 100%. Same for vinyasa. When I practice the 2nd series expecially from ekapadashirsasana I feel I need longer pauses. But it depends on our features. For example I warm up easily (lot of fire) and sometimes I need to stop a little. Thank you again, always useful inspiring and bring me to a better analysis. Best Regards!

Nice and sweet .From Brasil ❤

Nice conversation, but it should be 3 hours long at least! So much wealth and depth of knowledge he possesses, I felt like I was watching an intro to a podcast!

Great episode. Thanks Adam! As always, this is GoLD information . It is for me. Through all your podcast , GuESTS, testimonies, experiences, etc., I found myself bringing important considerations, books, and key elements that allowed me to have a better and healthier time while on the mat, and thanks to that, I always end up my practice more energized and happier. Short forms, variations in postures that work for me and the limitations of my body, blending options ( S1 or S2 ), bandhas , keeping the noble good flow, are very healthy advices for someone like me that wants to understand Yoga and still don´t DIMENSION what Yoga really is or really enclosed. These episodes will always keep me more interested in paying attention to the intelligence of my body and its limitations and work with that, and bring the benefits from THAT that I can do ( even if i´m not the most elastic and strong man ). Also , these podcasts have helped me to spot " mental desires " that in times are pushing you to that strict zone that you might wonder if they are stealing from you instead of giving you FOR THE NOW and for your older days.

Love You Adam 💜

There is a exact way to combine primary and second series...and it is not the way - part of primary and then pasasana....in my opinion...must now we're you are energetically in practice to switch the series or combine. .
