No more backbends: Redefining yoga with Matt Phippen

 

In this episode of the Chrysalis Pod, co-hosts Dana and Eden meet with this week's guest Matt Phippen, as he shares his personal and professional journey from Montreal to his current homebase in Los Angeles, where he runs a chiropractic clinic with his husband (when he's not travelling the world). We discuss Matt's evolution in teaching movement and biomechanics, influenced by various disciplines such as Iyengar yoga and functional range conditioning, and the impact of postural restoration therapy on his approach to physical health. We also get into the importance of optimal breathing on overall health, the integration of modern physiotherapy insights into traditional yoga practices and common misconceptions about yoga's healing properties. Join Matt in The Course for his training, Redefining the Breath, November 22-24, 2024.
