After a whirlwind romance with house music – which culminated in DJing at the world famous Manchester nightclub The Hacienda – Matt turned his attention inwards, hung up his headphones and jetted off to Mysore South India to immerse himself in Ashtanga Yoga. In the 25 plus years of being immersed in Ashtanga Yoga (in both practicing & teaching) Matt has taught yoga all over the world including Europe, India and America. He has set up and established yoga studios in Manchester, London and Los Angeles. He has an A-list private clientele, which includes stars from the music and film industry and also players from the English football premier league.
Matt has a level 2 Ashtanga Yoga teaching authorisation from Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois. He continues to practice daily in between teaching and looking after his kids. He is an ambassador to the Operation-Shanti charity which is based in Mysore South India, organising fund raising events.
