Matt has been practicing yoga since 1987. He has been teaching since 1996. His current main teacher is Shandor Remete of Australia. Other teachers of influence have been Dona Holleman, Ramanand Patel, Richard Schactel, Aadil Pahlkivala, Richard Rosen, Rodney Yee, David Swenson and others. He completed teacher training with Richard Schactel in 1995 and studied at the Iyengar Institute in Pune, India in 1996. He also practiced the Astanga yoga vinyasa as handed down by Patabhi Jois of Mysore, India, for three years. Lately he has been focusing his energies on the Chaya Samyukta / Shadow Style of Shandor Remete.

Matt is interested in the classical roots of Hatha Yoga tradition. He has been studying Sanskrit, the ancient language of India for the past 2 years, and the classical texts of Yoga for over 15 years. He is also strongly interested in Advaita Vedanta. Through continued work with senior teachers, personal study of the ancient texts, and a commitment to exploration in the practice, he works to bring alive the inner meaning of yoga for this generation. To Matt, practice is about freeing ourselves from self-imposed bodily and mental limitation and opening the inner door for discovering that vast space of limitless, free Awareness.

Matt is one of the founders and owner/directors of the Yoga Shala.
