#131 - Adam Keen - Honouring Yoga’s Roots in Today’s World

Adam Keen(@adam_keen_ashtanga) returns to the mic to unpack decades of experience as a yoga practitioner, teacher, and deep thinker. Practising since 1999 and one of the rare few to complete the Advanced A series in Mysore under Sharathji, Adam shares insights that only years of dedication can offer—cutting through the fluff of modern yoga while still teaching with compassion, humour, and nuance.

Drawing on his experience running a Mysore programme in London for over a decade and his time immersed in the roots of Ashtanga at Purple Valley Goa, we explore; spinal stimulation, aging as a teacher, spiritual bypassing, social media illusions, and whether yoga is becoming just another performance art. For those interested in intelligent, inclusive, and reality-based yoga, this episode offers clarity, humility, and some laugh-out-loud truths.

Adam now shares his reflections through the Keen on Yoga podcast, YouTube, and social media—Whether you’re a newer teacher or a long-time student, this conversation offers sharp insight into how we can honour yoga’s roots while teaching in today’s world-—and why sometimes the most revolutionary thing we can do is admit we’re still figuring it out.YOGA TEACHERS - join my 75 hour mentor and education programme - https://tr.ee/uzn6xj - or deepen your skill in my weekly online teachers practice on the Honestly Unbalanced studio - https://tr.ee/GCQdTB - or join me on my trainings around Europe - https://tr.ee/3KKLdz

About the Podcast

Honestly Unbalanced
Honest and open conversations with people that have spent their lives, trying to makes yours better.
The surface level of the wellness world is often a high gloss, picture perfect representation of balanced living. Adam and Holly Husler dig under that shiny surface and discover that the balanced-state is often a fleeting moment, with the rest of life being an ever-changing obstacle course of; struggles, opportunities, sweat and hard work.

Though honest conversations, we track our guests' unique paths to success, how they navigate changing tides and the continuous search for their own version of happiness.

@adamhusler and @iamhollyhusler are a London-based couple, leading yoga classes, trainings and sound journeys around the world.
