Hey, I'm Matt. It's an appropriate name for a yoga teacher although don't worry. I never thought I'd enjoy this sort of thing, either. 🙏 ❤️

The practice of yoga, for me, means unlearning toxic lessons about masculinity and learning new, healthier lessons about taking care of myself. It’s taught me to balance out my moods and reactions, and the physical practice on the mat, along with contemplating the various aspects of mind, have brought me a new sense of calm confidence, that I’m enough.

I find that a sense of humor and just being myself, as I teach, is the best way to make the classes accessible to a wide range of people. So many of us suffer in silence with depression and other pressures of life, but I’ve found yoga really helps.

So many of us don’t start yoga because we’re worried we’re inflexible, that others are better than we are. But we all just have to start where we’re at, and I make sure my classes aren’t competitive. As one of my wise teachers says, “there are plenty of jerks out there who can do the splits.”
