Asana is designed to connect us to our physical selves, but can often miss out on our better half: the backbody. This ropes-based workshop will teach yogis how to strengthen their ability to pull and grip, actions that are essential for long-term wellness. Yogis will also feel how the integration of pull muscles benefit more traditional poses, ranging from caturanga to savasana.

Meet Matt

As many do, Matt discovered yoga after a breakup, and fell in love at first savasana. He soon found that yoga helped him address more than just temporary pains. Having spent much of his life in a sedentary body from which he felt deeply alienated, yoga connected him with his physical self in a way he’d never experienced before. His goal is to provide this kind of self-connection for his students in every class; Matt creates sequences that bring practitioners deep into the somatic sensations of asana. Expect specific cueing that unifies the mind, breath and body through intensity and to walk away with a liberating calm. And on a good day, his jokes will land, too.

Matt owes much of his teaching style to Yogamaya in New York City, where he completed his 200hr in the summer of 2022, led by Bryn Chrisman, Amanda MacDonald, Danielle Harboard, and Julie Pasqual. He also completed Down Under Yoga's 300hr in Boston in 2023.
