Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine decided years ago that his gym routine was a dead end. He has discovered that his true passion is yoga.
In a photo shoot and interview with Details magazine in the December 2011 issue, the pop rock artist talks about how he keeps his mind sharp and his body chiseled.
Levine considers his daily sessions therapeutic and necessary. He admits, “Playing a show before thousands of people is a highly unnatural state and when I get on the mat to do an hour of yoga before the show, I come out physically relaxed.”
It all began when the musician had his first session with veteran NYC yoga instructor Chad Dennis. It wasn’t long before the guru was added to the payroll and began traveling with the band in order to put Levine through his daily routines.
The singer said, “For me, it’s a form of meditation. He’ll take me on a friggin’ obstacle course of yoga. It’s an investment in happiness for the rest of my life.”
