      1 review for Lotus

      1. Nina Eckardt (verified owner) –

        The legendary Lotus Pose… Such an amazing idea to dedicate an entire immersion to Padmasana. I never thought I would even come close to being able to sit in Lotus comfortably for just a second. But… each of the 8 classes brought me a little closer. I love the mindful step by step approach and the numerous variations Matt offers. Always so caring and careful to take into account the anatomical differences of different bodies, explain everything in detail and find healthy ways to approach the pose. Huge thanks for yet another wonderful, empowering immersion!!!

      Welcome to Breath of Fire, the February 2022 immersion. Together we will practice in a vinyasa style with core-integration exercises and breathwork in every class. We will strengthen all the muscles that relate to our respirator system. Our core work will not only be about strength building; in order to improve our movement and functionality, we will also develop a greater understanding of how the rest of the body relates to the core.

      MOVE!

      Welcome to Move, the January 2023 immersion. Together we will breathe, sweat, increase our heart rate, learn to transition gracefully between postures, and ultimately we will MOVE! The goal of this immersion is to balance out our otherwise sedentary lifestyle and pause from our daily scrolling, emailing, and other responibilities that require us to sit still and not use our body to its full potential. You know the benefits of movement, everyone does, but knowing and doing are not the same. Let’s MOVE together! See you on the mat.

      OCTOBER 2022

      Welcome to Hip Mobility

      Welcome to the October 2022 Hip Mobility Immersion. I am excited to share this particular topic, which is near and dear to my heart. Coming into the Yoga practice, I had extremely tight hips, to the point where Pigeon Pose required 9 blocks for me to just barely be able to survive it. In this immersion, I will be sharing the key techniques that I used to unlock my hips. I have now shared these techniques with thousands of people around the world and have refined them to suit a wide veriety of body types. I look forward to sharing them now with you!

      3 reviews for Hip Mobility

      1. Rebecca Matthews (verified owner) –

        Matt’s hip courses are excellent and he really breaks down in layman’s term all the muscle groups and how we should actively be engaging every muscle, targeting deep and weak muscles that I never really though about. He knows all the anatomy of muscle groups which is what I like, when I’m trying to target what is hurting and why. I’ve had ongoing left hip pain. I can really tell where it is weak and needs to be strengthened through this course work. I have recommended this to many who also have similar complaints. This is a common issue for those that are sitting, standing or aging in one place without active engagement.

      2. Ada Luz Reyes (verified owner) –

        One of the main reasons I started practicing yoga was to try to find a solution for chronic pain caused by a hip lesion. It’s been getting better and better through the years, but I can surely say this course has been a game changer. I learned to work each and every muscle, therefore strenghten, elongate and mobilize more consciously and confidently.

      3. Jana Tavernier (verified owner) –

        This is beyond yoga, this is a very comprehensive course to teach you about your anatomical structure of your hips. You’ll get very personal with all the muscles, one by one, how to actiive them correctly, what is their role and mainly how to strengthen them.
        Highly recommended ☺️

      2 reviews for shoulder Mobility

      1. Ana María García Vilas (verified owner) –

        My right shoulder hurt when doing arm balances and handstands when then this immersion came up and I gave it a try. After two full rounds the pain has almost disappeared. I am more aware of how my shoulders move and understand much better their movements. I will do more rounds of this immersion as it’s helping me immensely. This was my first immersion with Matt but it will not be the last one.

      2. Ian Miller (verified owner) –

        Great immersion. Learnt so much from Matt and it has helped my practice.

      Handstand & Meditation

      HANDSTAND & MEDITATION

      SEPTEMBER 2022

      Welcome to Handstand & Meditation

      Welcome to the September 2022 Handstand & Meditation Immersion. I am thrilled to be sharing this very unique experience with you. These are two of the most exciting practices for me as they have provided me with the most personal development in my life on and off the mat. This is why I decided to offer them to you. In this immersion, our goal is to develop strength and attention and a greater proprioception and awareness of the internal barriers that may be holding us back, on and off the mat.

      Handstand is a relatively simple pose, and as many of you may have come to figure out, the simple things in life can often be the most challenging. Meditation is a practice that seems to have lost its place in the “yoga” practices of today. The irony is that meditation IS the yoga practice, and eveything else, such as asana, is simply to support our meditation practice.

      Together we will explore these incredible practices. I look forward to sharing them with you!

        Matt as a teacher is Brilliant! He will identify muscles, tell you which one to use, when to use it, and how to use it with warnings to avoid injury. He is very clear on what is appropriate for your level, that gave me a lot of confidence to work in the moment with out concern of keeping up. Having the access to go back and look at the lesson again is priceless! I was also very happy with the meditation, in the past I have struggled to sit and quiet my busy mind. I have been able to enjoy the stillness and sit in silence on a new level! At any level Matt is the best, highly recommended. Thanks for a great immersion Matt!

      2. marisa.valdiserra (verified owner) –

        Another fabulous immersion! This is one of my favorites. Matt incorporates various strength drills into the practice that prepared us for handstand. He showed different levels of handstand prep and the use of a chair for the drills added new awareness of muscle strength and weakness, as well as challenged my proprioception when upside down. I loved the meditation component with its focus on integration; sitting in the stillness in order to allow our body to integrate all of the knowledge we learned in practice. Thanks so much Matt!

      Anatomy of The Heart

      by | May 26, 2022

      ANATOMY OF THE HEART

      JUNE 2022

      Welcome to Anatomy of the Heart

      Welcome to the June 2022 Anatomy of the Heart immersion. I am thrilled to be sharing this experience with you. In this immersion, our goal is to develop a greater understanding of the body through anatomical visualizations and embodied exercises while expanding our heart-opening practice. Seeing the muscles prior to feeling them in action will enhance our efforts and improve the learning process both mentally and kinesthetically.

      Heart openers are unique. In my 14+ years of teaching these complex postures, I have noticed that you cannot simply learn technique and access your fullest potential. You need both technique AND a mindset that prepares the body for opening up. Backbends are the oposite of fight/flight/freeze postures, which means the nervous system cannot be in a state of high arousal (sympathetic nervous system) when we approach them. In other words, if we are feeling fearful, our body will close off and tighten in the front, making backbends feel painful and impossible. Yet at the same time, we need to be awake and present in order to articulate the appropiate actions in the body so that we do not injure ourselves. It is a delicate balance, but you are more than capable of accessing this state of “awake yet calm.”

      To help us with both the technical side of backbends and the “heart” side of them, classes will go back and forth between anatomical and themed. I look forward to diving in with you.

      1. Selki Tombs (verified owner) –

        Total game changer for me. Opened up my interest for anatomy. Every class gives tools for strengthening. Matt shares so much knowledge in his Immersions. I always finish feeling stronger and with accomplishments I didn’t think I was even ready for. Can’t wait to do Heart Opener and more. Big gratitude, thanks Matt. Glad I found you 🙏

      2. Adele Tan (verified owner) –

        Great course! I was resistant towards arm balances for a long time as I always see more good than bad coming out from them. Matt changed that for me as he let us into the anatomy and biomechanics of the poses which means we can practice arm balances intelligently! I particularly like how Matt shares the anatomy before class as that gives me a bearing on what to focus on that given class, and Im also glad that Matt takes time to answer the questions both live (which unfortunately I cant make it due to timezone issues), as well as on FB. Thanks!

      3. Adele Tan (verified owner) –

        I liked how Matt shared the anatomy before going into the practice. Arm balances are so challenging for me, so having the anatomy knowledge at hand allows me to have a focus as i enter the poses. Its till work in progress for many of the arm balances, but i’m glad to report that I know more now and feel more confident about them! Matt takes time to answer the questions live (which unfortunately doesn’t work for my timezone), but he answers on FB if one needs further support. Thanks!

      4. Cindy Bollinger (verified owner) –

        I learned so much about bad habits i had picked up over the years and how to do the poses correctly. I thought that i would be intimidated by the poses, such as koundinyasa 1+2, one leg crow, handstand, tittibasana, astravakasana, and flying pidgeon, but the exercises created accessibility to the poses for me. I never felt that it was over my ability as he gave me different things to work on and crash pad ideas to build my confidence. The anatomy lessons made everything clear. I am afraid of backbends having been hurt over the years doing poses that didnt feel right. I trust matt to teach me a better way for my body and have signed up for the next inversion. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on classes and workshops and am a certified teacher. This was the best series i have ever taken for learning what my body, with its structural and muscular oddities can do when properly aligned and engaged. I am 64 and have been teaching yoga 26 years

      5. Stephanie Herrington (verified owner) –

        I really enjoyed this immersion. Each day you’ll learn what a pose requires of you physically and Matt guides you through the movements and engagements needed to achieve the pose. I am now able to do side crow, koundenyasana 1, and titibasana with confidence! If arm balances are a goal of yours, or if you just want to solidify and strengthen them, this immersion is the way to do it! Plus if you’re into the anatomy side of yoga, it doesn’t get much better than this!

      6. Lyn Starikov (verified owner) –

        Matt’s immersions have been absolutely empowering as a teacher and as a student. He is so knowledgable with anatomy and biomechanics of the human body but is humble, down to earth and presents the material in such an accessible and engaging way that you can’t help but absorb it into your mind and body. The intellectual intimidation factor is non-existent in this learning space and the curated practices always push you a little beyond your comfort zone because you trust this guy. Matt is a master kinesthetic teacher and I am so grateful that I came across him online. I am about to start my 3rd consecutive online immersion with him and it is money BEYOND well spent. Highly recommended!

      7. Mary Liwanag (verified owner) –

        Matt’s classes are approachable no matter where you are in your practice. The drills allow you to form good habits while approaching fuller versions of the poses. Also as an anatomy nerd, I love his anatomy and biomechanics knowledge. This class was challenging for me, but inspiring.

      8. Jack Crann (verified owner) –

        I didn’t think I was ready, was apprehensive about taking this immersion. I am so grateful for the foundation and knowledge, so glad I joined, the progress and growth has been more than I ever expected. Highly recommended!!

        I have been a yoga teacher for many years and like to continue to improve my knowledge to keep my teaching fresh. Matt is an amazing teacher with detailed knowledge of the body and movement. I am so thankful to be able to train with him online. He is able to explain complex anatomy and demonstrate how the body works through the yoga poses. I highly recommend Matt Giordano and The Yogi Matt!

      2. Ara (verified owner) –

        Matt is an amazing teacher… I am a physiotherapist (although I have not worked as such for years)
        I wish I had had such good anatomy teachers in university. Totally recommended!!! He has encouraged me to study anatomy again

      3. Agnes Thien (verified owner) –

        Aware about our own body thru understanding in anatomy of motion. Clear instructions by Matt.

      4. Stephanie Herrington (verified owner) –

        Anatomy nerds unite! If want to learn about how your muscles function and how to improve your mobility, this immersion is for you! The amount of detail and depth of knowledge you get about each specific muscle group is invaluable. The first bit of the class you get to see what specific part of the body you’ll be working, and then all throughout the class you will engage and strengthen those muscles with Matt’s guidance! I now know the names of muscles and what their specific job is in our bodies. I am very grateful for this immersion. I had many moments saying to myself, “this is so cool!” Highly recommend this one!

      5. Adriana Godard (verified owner) –

        This immersion is, by far, one of the best ones I have ever take. Absolutely amazing!

        Such a fabulous immersion! I loved the visuals Matt provided at the beginning of each practice of the body, muscles, and muscle/joint relationships. They helped me visualize the specific muscle group we were targeting as I practiced. I found this immersion to be a great resource as a teacher. Matt described the muscles, muscle actions and connections in a way that I can share in my teaching. If someone is looking to gain a deep awareness and understanding of their body and how their muscles work and engage, I highly recommend the Anatomy in Motion immersion. Thanks so much Matt for sharing your knowledge!!

      9. Jean-Francois Robin (verified owner) –

        The workshop was very enriching. Lots of information to integrate but very relevant to the yoga practice and teaching yoga. Matt has a talent to teach something complex in a way to make it easy to understand and remember. Not only I learned the individual names and functions of certain muscles but also their interactions with other muscles and the rest of the body. Matt took also the time to answer every specific questions in the chat. Great workshop. JF. yoga teacher in Montreal.

      10. Jack Crann (verified owner) –

        Matt teaches with great clarity. Everything makes sense. He is careful to explain what you may need for your level making it comfortable to go at your pace. A 5 star class all around!

      Mobility

      by | Feb 22, 2022

      MOBILITY

      MARCH 2022 IMMERSION

      Welcome to Mobility

      Mobility is one of the most important factors of physical well-being. Whether you would like to move more gracefully on and off the mat, feel better physically, or stave off aging, this immersion is designed to help you do so. By increasing the strength of our muscles through a wide range of motion, we will increase both passive and active flexibility. Most people seek flexibility through passive stretching only. This is a huge mistake because this approach does not increase muscle integrity and does not increase neuromuscular activity. Together, we will increase flexibility by increasing neuromuscular activity—strengthening muscles that increase range of motion. We will also learn how stability provides the body a sense of safety, which builds a trust between you and your body and often allows for greater relaxation of tense muscles.

      1. Andrea Summers (verified owner) –

        I have several of Matt’s immersions, and “Yoga and the Sutras” was by far one of my favorites. I loved how the Sutras were weaved throughout the asana practice in a deep and meaningful way. I also benefitted greatly from the inclusion of pranayama and meditation. As I move deeper into my practice and explore yoga beyond asana I really appreciate the guidance that goes beyond asana. Matt presented the Sutras, Pranayama, Asana, and Meditation in this immersion in ways that allowed me as a beginner on this journey to understand and incorporate these teachings in meaningful ways. This immersion has also inspired a greater exploration of yogic teachings and ways to live yoga in my day to day life.
