People of all kinds participate in Matt's naked yoga private lessons and classes while being introduced to a few of Tantra’s basic concepts for a deeper connection to yourself and to others. Private lessons are open to all genders; classes are men only for now.
Class begins with breath work from your root chakra (groin). Asanas (yoga postures) follow to get you deeper into your feeling self. Modifications are given for different levels of experience. Different guided partner stretches invite everyone to explore their personal care (class participants work with multiple partners, but you could also bring an exclusive partner for your comfort). We check-in through conversation for consent and to affirm our experiences. Great for owning your body and your life, what you could gain from trying naked yoga: acceptance, compassion, wisdom, fulfillment, integration, coherence, contentment, pleasure. What you could lose: inhibition, fear, pride, despair, sloth, loneliness, shame, clothes. Naked Yoga FAQ For answers to frequently asked naked yoga questions, click here. |

TANTRA PRACTICE
|
For individuals and couples who want to explore basic Tantra, Matt has developed a primer rooted in Tantra's principles and application. Considering both the path of the individual and the importance of community, Matt is excited to introduce people to Tantra in user-friendly ways comfortable to them either in-person or online.
During Tantra practice, you'll be reminded how Tantra, the roots of yoga, is especially helpful to you becoming more of yourself through reconciling your masculine and feminine energies. We'll create experiments which are information gathering vehicles for your transformation. Practice is usually done naked. We use consent and boundaries (known or as they surface) to keep the work safe and judgment free which includes judging yourself. When tomorrow seems to stop offering, this is an especially good time to experience Tantra: ground, reconnect, breathe, feel, and remember how to play. If you're doing well in life, use Tantra to proactively keep you on your course. Tantra FAQ For answers to frequently asked Tantra questions, click here. |

"Our body is a teacher. Most people live in their thoughts, from their neck up. My job as a bodyworker is to help people remember that their entire body is full of guidance and wisdom. Through embodiment practices like strength training, yoga, Tantra, and community care, we transcend our physical into feeling to speak openly from our heart, a place that honors the full-spectrum of ourselves. When we share information from our inner landscape, we invite support affecting our outer world. By acknowledging our own humanity, we create space to expand our edges of awareness, kindness, and compassion toward all things."
