#15 - Keen on Yoga Podcast with Matthew Sweeney

Keen on Yoga Podcast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Adam Keen - Sunnuntaisin

Matthew Sweeney was introduced to yoga by his martial arts teacher and in 1994 he went to Mysore for the first time and returned there regularly up until 2006.  Since 1998 his personal practice has included “Advanced B", or 4th Series, and he has also explored much of Advanced C. He began teaching Ashtanga Yoga in 1996, however over time his teaching style has shifted somewhat from a standard orthodox approach to something that he feels is more holistic. He has developed his own vinyàsa sequences that he promotes and teaches as suitable alternatives to the standard series and are conducted to encourage students to apply a therapeutic approach to their personal practice and to encourage an adventurous heart. He has spent the last 20 years practicing different forms of self-inquiry, including meditation, tantra, Gestalt Therapy, Transpersonal Therapy, Transforming Cellular Memory, Buddhism and advaita vedanta. All of these have contributed greatly to his understanding of yoga and the connection between the body, Self, and the Divine. You can find more details about Matthew on his website.
