11:30 - 02-July-2008
The 29-year-old singer, who is embarking on a North American tour with his band and Counting Crows at the end of July, told Women's Health: "Yoga is by far the most convenient way to exercise while I'm on the road. You don't need anything but a few feet of space and a mat. And I can always find at least an hour a day to practise."
Adam, who used yoga to improve chronic back pain, admitted that he was sceptical at first of the practice, but has been converted by its benefits.
"I was wary of the cliché's associated with yoga: spirituality used as a marketing tool or Eastern philosophy sold at Starbucks to disenchanted lawyers and accountants looking for meaning," he said.
"What I soon realised is that yoga welcomes everyone - that's extremely appealing.
He revealed: "My first class felt like someone was ripping my body apart. It wasn't what you'd call peaceful. But I was excited by the idea that the more dedicated I became the more effortless it would become to relax and give in to that tightness. Yes, the torture subsided a bit over time."
