Matthew D. Kimmeth, or as some have come to know him as “YogaMatt”, is an E-RYT500 Yoga Teacher and Trainer, YACEP Educator, a professional musician, and an aspiring Jedi.  He discovered the power of yoga at age 20 when he was in the midst of competing in half-marathons and triathlons.  Yoga provided an opportunity to recover, a time to heal and re-focus inward.  Matthew also began to experience massive benefits from yoga as a performer.  He discovered better breath connection, less anxiety, and a higher capacity for artistic expression.  It wasn’t long before he decided to learn more and become a yoga teacher.  Of course his inner Leo caught an entrepreneurial fire and he began his own studio.  Accessibility, Inclusion, and Empowerment… were founding principals long ago and he still champions them today.  YogaMatt quickly became a master trainer with the international yoga school Wild Abundant Life where he has trained and mentored hundreds of professional teachers.  Over 16-years later and his passion for learning and helping others continues to fuel his career.
