About the Teacher

Matthew originally grew up in the midwestern region of the United States. After trying various forms of yoga and meditation for his mental health, nothing seemed to have a lasting impact. Then in late 2019, Matthew signed up for a program called Inner Engineering, a 4 day yoga program conducted by an international non-profit called the Isha Foundation that teaches participants a simple yet effective 21 minute yoga practice. After doing the practice every day for months on end, Matthew found that his mental health and quality of life had improved dramatically.

Deeply touched and inspired by Inner Engineering, Matthew went on to enroll in the Isha Foundation’s Hatha Teacher training program in 2021, a 1,750 hour yoga teacher training program that empowers individuals to teach Hatha Yoga in it’s classical and undistorted form. Now Matthew conducts Hatha classes in the Philadelphia area.
