Your Hosts

Adam Husler

Drawing from a variety of lives lived off the mat, Adam Husler brings a unique perspective to those who seek more from yoga than making pretty shapes. He offers creative, effective and clearly-sequenced teachings that focus on balancing flexibility and strength; physically and mentally. Adam specialises in a signature style of Alignment-Based Vinyasa— fuelled by a fascination with anatomy and a desire to ask ‘why?’ Adam believes that yoga is a personally subjective practice of self enquiry, where one thing is for certain: whether a long-time listener, first time caller, or anywhere in between... yoga offers us all plenty of options to challenge and reward. Start small, go slow, practise, and all is coming. Adam has taught classes, workshops and trainings in over 60 studios in over 20 countries, with a robust home schedule in London's leading studios. You can find Adam chatting on the Honestly Unbalanced podcast and co-teaching trainings with teachers inc. Jason Crandell, Michael Wong and Mia Togo. @adamhusler 

Holly Husler

From performing original pop tunes at the London O2 stage to an audience of 20,000 in her girl band days, to singing healing mantras and playing magical instruments to seas of sleeping yogis at events, festivals and studios across the globe, Holly Husler’s journey has taken some unexpected turns! Holly’s experience with sound healing over some years of feeling lost, eventually led her back to herself and to her musical roots, drawing to the surface a deep desire to help women reconnect with their inner light and magic through the power of sound. Holly now runs worldwide crystal bowl sound healer trainings and courses, alongside writing and recording her own ‘conscious music’, with her first album ‘Luminous Shadow’ having been released in 2023. @iamhollyhusler
