Yoga instructor Matt Giordano, E-RYT 500, gives credit to his high school art teacher for sparking the curiosity that eventually led him to yoga. She told Giordano, “You are not allowed to say ‘I can’t.’ You must rephrase to a question: ‘How?’”

With an inquisitive and unrelenting spirit, many years of practice in martial arts (Aikido and Tae Kwan Do), and a passion to understand physics and biomechanics, Giordano devoted himself to yoga practice and eventually began to teach.

He has trained in various yoga traditions, as well as in acrobatics, AcroYoga, and Thai yoga massage.
