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 holds the highly coveted Ashtanga Yoga level 2 teaching authorisation from the AYRI, the governing body of Ashtanga in Mysore, South India. His own personal yoga practice includes working through into the Advanced B series of Ashtanga Yoga – one of the very few yoga practitioners from around the world working at this level. He is an ambassador to the Operation-Shanti charity which is based in Mysore South India, organising fund raising events.
