Adam Ballenger has been practicing yoga since the early 1990’s and teaching since the mid 1990’s. His history of working on his own physical trauma and emotional wellbeing has spanned more than a quarter of a century. Today, Adam is a father, a husband, a local yoga teacher as well as a traveling yoga instructor and student as well. He regularly presents and teaches in Europe, Central and South America and Asia as well as at home in Salt Lake City, UT.

In his early years of practice, Adam enjoyed a playful, therapeutic and sometimes a wild and challenging yoga practice. Today, Adam still enjoys a challenging yoga practice but works to help others develop movement skills, sustainable body mechanics and mindfulness through asana practice. Adams “Active Aging” Yoga with older populations has been a long time passion as well. Through working with older populations, Adam has developed his concept of movement needs and compassion insights. Even if you aren’t a senior yet you may still catch these concepts as Adam weaves them into all his classes, developing these skills before their need is known. Don’t let Adam’s body wise fool you either, his 20 plus years of studying yoga tradition and philosophy becomes evident in his easy to follow and easy to use, modern day usage of Yoga and Buddhist teachings.
