Mathew’s journey of personal growth accelerated in 2015, when he moved from Ontario to Alberta in search of a calm, quiet connection to nature and self. Discovering connection to breath during long, isolating climbs in the Canadian Rockies led Mathew along a path toward the practice of yoga. Through dedicated practice on his mat, he learned to channel the breath, body, and mind connection to achieve a state of calmness and self-awareness, releasing tension in the body. Frequent visits to a Buddhist monastery, where he practiced sitting in silence with the monastics of the temple, deepened this existing connection of mindfulness and resulted in a strong meditation practice.

Having been impacted by many extraordinary yoga instructors over the years, teaching yoga was always something Mathew aspired to do. He pursued certification as a RYT 200 as well as foundational meditation teacher training so that he could share the benefits of yoga and meditation with others. His classes will invite you to breathe deeply and move with intention so that you can actualize your most authentic self and find balance from within.
