Anatomy of The Heart
ANATOMY OF THE HEART
JUNE 2022Welcome 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 our 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 our 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 our 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.

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

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!!
