Matt Rothert
Matt grew up in the South and Midwest playing whatever sport was in season. Basketball, baseball, soccer… you name it and he was on the team. He ran track and cross-country and played golf while graduating from Wheaton College, in Chicago with a BA in Business and Economics. After a successful climb up the corporate ladder working in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Madison/Milwaukee, he gave it all up to follow his passions. Knowing his strengths through body/mind connection when he moved to California in 2001 he knew he had found his new home. He found a love for cooking and taught himself to surf and skateboard. He then began practicing yoga quickly realizing yoga improved nearly all aspects of his life. It strengthened him both physically and spiritually. Matt is Yoga Alliance certified instructor with over 500 training hours with mentor Julie Rader of Mukti Yoga. Matt shines through his instruction of both Vinyasa Flow and relaxing Yin yoga. His talents of cooking, instructing yoga and love for adventure will be featured in his upcoming retreats scheduled in 2011.
