Description

Specialties

I am passionate about Yoga and its ability to help us heal and grow, and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to share what I have learned. My classes reflect my personal practice and encourage a deep connection to the breath as we learn to move with proper alignment, grace, flexibility, strength, intuition and mindfulness. I believe in providing fun, nurturing, structurally sound classes that present a physical challenge appropriately suited for each individual practitioner, from the complete beginner to those with many years of experience. A typical class will include both grounding and flowing asana, pranayama, meditation and kirtan. More than anything, my intention is to use these practices that have been passed down through the ages to strengthen the body and soften the heart.

Matt’s first entry into movement, breath and spiritual inquiry began in 1995 when he began practicing Chi Gung. In 2003 Matt started practicing Yoga, and since then many practitioners have served as a source of inspiration, with the most notable being Zhander Remete, Peter Sterios and Matt Huish, who has been a friend, teacher and mentor since 2007. Matt’s biggest influence comes from his guru Swami B. V Tripurari. His teachings inspire and influence Matt everyday, in all aspects of his life. Matt believes that yoga is inherently therapeutic, and has the ability to heal people physically, emotionally and spiritually. His classes encourage a deep connection to the breath as he teaches students to move with proper alignment, grace, flexibility, strength, intuition and mindfulness.
