The Yoga Pod, Corepower Yoga
Matt moved to Boulder in 1995 from Hyattsville, Maryland. He immediately fell in love with the Boulder area with all its majestic, natural beauty and open-hearted people. At a point in life when he felt painfully stuck, he discovered yoga and realized the power of yoga as a means of moving energy in his life and awakening some much needed self-love. Studying Baptiste-style power Vinyasa, he completed his 200 hour teacher certification in the fall of 2007.
In May 2009, he quit a well-paying job of 12 years to put all of his energies into developing as a yoga teacher and student. With a consistent focus on compassion for one's self, he teaches classes that are both challenging and nurturing, and he continuously strives to connect people with a sense of their own innate divinity. “Teaching has taken my personal practice to a whole new level. It requires always seeking that deeper level of sensitivity towards the workings of my mind and body. It’s now all yoga – all the time. It’s an ongoing process- observing, feeling, breathing, staying present, and letting go of judgment for myself as well as others.
