Maroon 5 Warm Up With Yoga Before Shows
If the members of Maroon 5 seem relaxed during their concerts, it may be a result of their ritual practice of yoga before each show. Adam Levine, lead singer of the band, was the first to embrace the ancient practice but his bandmates have quickly joined him. In fact, they’ve become such fans of the practice that they insist on having a yoga instructor on tour with them at all times! Levine says,
“We’re fortunate enough to have a private instructor out with us who is with us every day, so we practice. It helps your brain, it helps your body. It helps your life in general.”
He also feels it’s a great way to bring the band together saying,
“Everyone’s getting into it… It’s really pretty great for us all to do together… It’s really gratifying.”
I knew there was a reason I felt so zen after listening to their songs! Maroon 5 is currently on tour so if you want to check them out live and in person, check out www.maroon5.com for ticket information.






That’s a really good idea. What a lucky instructor…
That is so cool – it probably makes them more flexible during concerts, too.;)
That’s what I say, FBG!
lol @ FatFighter. I imagine it would!
that is so cool! Good for them!
(and really, how does someone land a job like that!)
Great! I love that they are presenting a healthy habit to the public.

Great question, Workout Mommy!! Can you imagine?!
Me too, FitMom! It’s definitely one of the healthier messages we’ve received from bands lately.
