Brett Matzke

Picture

Yoga Instructor

Brett’s love for yoga began while she was in college studying environmental studies; the more she learned about the natural world, she realized that to truly be a steward of the land, she had to go inward and heal herself as well. For our bodies are a part of the larger biotic community we call earth. One of her favorite authors, Maya Tiwari, writes in her book A Life of Balance:  
“We are the air, water, soil, and light of the planet. Every grain of sand, every mountain range, every river, and every leaf contains the same elements. We should celebrate nature in our very nature…” (p. 5)

These elements that make up all of nature; earth, air, fire, water, ether, are the foundation to the sister science to Yoga, Ayurveda. In addition to receiving her RYT200 at the Maui Yoga Shala, Brett has been on the path towards becoming a Certified Yoga Therapist with PranaYoga School for Holistic Health and Yoga. In her studies, she has learned that it is the combination of Ayurveda & Yoga Therapy that beautifully represent her own core beliefs around healing holistically.

During Brett’s classes, you can expect to focus on pairing breath and movement to help you through an intentional sequence of asana. She utilizes the Sattva Vinyasa lineage in all of her classes, so you can expect to learn how we can use elemental inspired Asana, Pranayama, & Meditation therapies to support us as we experience different seasons & cycles. Her words of encouragement, compassion, and self love will always allow you to feel safe, loved, and healthy on and off your mat.
BRETT'S CLASS SCHEDULE:
Solar Vinyasa - Saturdays 10:30am
Lunar Vinyasa - Sundays 10:30am
Kids Yoga - Sundays 12pm (Beg. 4/16)
