Adam Spillman is a student of life, and teacher shaped by devotion, resilience, and lived experience. He began practicing yoga at 22 while traveling the world as a whitewater kayaker, originally to keep his body strong. What started as physical support gradually became a deeper inquiry—one that would ultimately transform his life.

At 30, Adam was diagnosed with cancer and given one week to live. He survived extreme chemotherapy and a twelve-hour experimental surgery involving five surgical teams. Throughout his recovery, yoga, breathwork, and contrast therapy became essential—not only for healing the body, but for cultivating presence, courage, and trust.

Adam’s teaching is rooted in the Eight Limbs of Yoga and informed by modern mindfulness philosophy. He is a devoted student and assistant of Janet Stone, carrying forward a lineage of thoughtful, embodied practice.

His classes emphasize strength without force, softness without collapse, and awareness that extends beyond the mat. Adam teaches yoga not as performance, but as relationship—to breath, body, and the quiet intelligence within.
