NAKED YOGA
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.

TANTRA
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 online or in-person.
During Tantra practice, you'll be reminded how Tantra, the roots of yoga, is especially helpful to you becoming more of yourself through reconciling the masculine and feminine energies inside and outside of you. We'll create "experiments" (Tantra's word for exercises) which are information gathering vehicles for your transformation. Practice is done naked; you will be working with everyone in the room through consensual touch. if you have boundaries, please be ready to speak to them (known or as they surface) with the other participants. This work is always judgment free which includes judging yourself. Just come and go moment to moment under the umbrella of pleasure as we co-create the event together.
When tomorrow seems to stop offering, this is an especially good time to experience Tantra practice: ground, reconnect, breathe, feel. If you're doing OK with life, use Tantra practice to be proactive with your self-care. Come love yourself with others.

Matt says:
"Our bodies are our teacher. Most people live in their thoughts, from their neck up. My job as a bodyworker is to help people remember that they have an entire body full of wisdom. Through embodiment practices like fitness, yoga, stretch, and Tantra, we transcend our physical into feeling to speak from our heart, a place that honors the full-spectrum of ourselves. When we share information from our inner landscape, we affect our outer world. By acknowledging our own humanity, we create space for communal compassion.”
