Immersion: Elements of Mastery 30h with Matt Giordano

Alignment based yoga tends to be dogmatic, there is one right way and nothing else. While flow based yoga practices don’t provide any support on how to do the postures or transitions. This has become the great divide in modern yoga, and this is where Elements of Mastery comes in. Elements of Mastery is a hybrid training course that provides you with technique based instruction rather than dogmatic alignment. What is the difference?

Dogmatic alignment provides you with one way of making a shape in your body, claiming that anything else is incorrect. However MOST of these “Alignment” instructions are not actually based on anatomy or bio-mechanics. They are either aesthetically based, or simply a passed down set of rules that have not been updated for decades.

This immersion provide’s “Chromatic Technique’s”, based on Anatomy and Bio-Mechanics. Chromatic Technique is not limited to joint alignment, it also includes isometric muscle engagements and recognizes that individual bodies require alteration of instruction. “Timing”; knowing what do to, and how to do it are part of it, but WHEN to do it is also an important part of Chromatic Technique.

Chromatic Technique’s are entirely based on intent, and are flexible, there are a myriad of ways to approach any given posture.

About Matt Giordano

Yoga instructor Matt Giordano (500 ERYT) gives credit to an influential figure from his teenage years--his high school art teacher-- for sparking within him the curiosity and tenacity that eventually led him to yoga. It was Eileen Walk who told Giordano: "You are not allowed to say 'I can’t.' You must rephrase to a question: 'How?'"

That inquisitive and unrelenting spirit laid the foundation for Matt to begin a devoted yoga practice. When coupled with his passion to understand the physics and subtle alignment of the body, Matt’s dharma as a teacher came into focus.
