EXPRESS YOUR INNER NATURE RETREAT

Matt Lawley is a yoga teacher, musician and permaculturist who believes there is an inseparable connection between healing ourselves and our ability to care for and steward the Earth. He began practicing yoga nine years ago while healing from a life-changing car accident. Yoga helped him rehab much faster than expected and soon he was feeling better than ever before. Since then yoga, meditation and breathwork have been a driving factor in his life and led him to permaculture and regenerative work. Matt’s classes focus on alignment and release in order to activate energy centers, release stuck emotions and bring awareness back to our hearts. He incorporates guitar, singing bowls and mantras into his classes as well as themes around connection to the Earth, ecosystems, elements and the nature within us. Matt is trained in Alignment-Based Hatha (500 hours), Kundalini (200 hours) and Yin Yoga (100 hours). He has also worked at a top rated yoga retreat center in Thailand and for a non-profit yoga festival. Yoga and meditation brought him to the path of permaculture and regenerative work. His goal is to offer these practices and tools as a way to bring more people into alignment with themselves and Mother Earth.
