It was Eileen Walk who told Giordano: \"You are not allowed to say 'I can\u2019t.' You must rephrase to a question: 'How?\" \n\nThat inquisitive and unrelenting spirit laid the foundation for Matt to begin a devoted yoga practice. When coupled with his passion to understand anatomy, biomechanics and the deeper philosophical and meditative practices for the mind, Matt\u2019s path as a teacher came into focus. Matt has a unique talent of taking a complex, challenging concept and simplifying without taking away its potency. This approach provides the revelatory \"aha moments\" that many of his students rave about.\n\nWHAT WE CHAT ABOUT\n\n-Starting days at 4am\n\n-Sleeping on city park benches to owning a farm\n\n-Reaching burnout from the \u2018NYC grind\u2019\n\n-Building an Instagram following\n\n-The reality of being a travelling yogi\n\n-Making money as a yoga teacher\n\n-Practicing self awareness\n\n-Discovering meditation in an unexpected place\n\n-Falling in and out of love with yoga\n\n10% off Liforme yoga mats with code THEHUSLERS (we get commission)\n\nCode HonestlyUnbalanced30 gets 30% off any packages on thehuslers.com online yoga, meditation and sound platform.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/17bf0f0d-f618-4ba1-8d88-7b211176f5cf/Podcast-image-front-small.jpg"}
