Yoga Therapy Classes
Matthew's yoga classes emphasize anatomical alignment as a container to fully experience the inner feeling
of each pose.  Classes bring a heightened awareness to breathing and concentration while encouraging
students to embody the balance of effort and surrender.  Matthew is known for his ability to work with
students of all levels.
Yoga Therapy Classes with Matthew will offer a holistic yoga perspective for specific parts of the body and
particular issues.  Each Class will utilize bio-mechanical principles, refined awareness, and yoga postures to
address symptoms of pain and areas of discomfort.  Yoga therapy classes are accessible to everyone and
benefit those new to yoga, experienced students, teachers, and health care practitioners.

PART 1 ARMS, SHOULDER GIRDLE AND RIBS
This visually focused class will emphasize the
importance of seeing students and clients with attention to myofascial lines and the important influence
connective tissue has on posture and movement. Yoga poses and muscle anatomy will be used to exemplify
how limitations, mobility, and postural patterns reveal themselves and their relationship within the whole body.
The intention of this series is to enhance our ability in identifying patterns of strain and the patterns of
compensation seen in the body skeleton. Because these classes will not cover detailed anatomy, a basic
understanding of kinesiology and muscle anatomy is helpful. Cost: $30 Sign up for all three body reading
workshops for a further discount of $65 for the entire series.
