​Matt has been a student of yoga since 2000 and is an internationally recognized teacher with 500+ hours of training.  Based in Marin County, CA (north of San Francisco) he directs Ashtanga Marin in San Rafael. He has served as faculty in numerous 200hr and 300hr Teacher Trainings. 

​His teachings of Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga are offered in a safe, dynamic, and inspiring way. He often uses props to ensure the practice meets students where they are at (physically and mentally) and to ensure their sustainable growth into the best practitioners possible. As a lifelong student of Yoga philosophy (Hindu and Buddhist), Matt organically weaves his postural teachings with the deeper aspects of contemplative psychology and theory.

Matt regularly co-teaches retreat experiences around the world with his wife, Sara Hess.   

Although Matt is currently on sabbatical from regular teaching, you can expect him to be back in the dharmic hot seat in the no-too-distant future.

Mysore-style Ashtanga 

You can find me teaching in Marin County at Metta Yoga in San Rafael. Looking forward to seeing you on the mat! ​

In Mysore style class I work with students one-on-one in a group setting at the pace appropriate to them. My spacious approach to the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice respects lineage and yet employs cutting-edge dimensions of postural inquiry to support your evolution as a practitioner.
