Yantra Yoga teacher Mathew Long

"On the weekend of the 30th and 31st of May a group of around 17 yogis and yoginis assembled at the old Unitarian Peace Church hall in East Melbourne to learn the basics of Yantra Yoga from Mathew Long, who kindly voyaged across Bass Strait to teach a few days organised by Samyasling Dzogchen Community Melbourne. There were an assortment of practitioners: some old students refreshing their practice, and some totally new.
Four people knowing Yantra's true value travelled from interstate to participate. Several of the new aspiring yoga students came from the Rainbodhi Buddhist Group Melbourne [they had already learnt some vajra dance from Thuy Nguyen 's previous Melb. courses] and they provided very positive feedback, including one person who said it was the first time in their life they
really felt they were breathing!
Mathew as usual presented instruction progressively and very clearly; he showed unremitting patience during the course and everyone applied themselves diligently . The combination of these 2 factors meant we powered through: 9 breathings (Lungro Selwa), loosening joints (Tsigjong), warmups, 8 movements (Lungsang), 1st series Yantras and some Rhythmic Breathing (Pranayama of the 2nd series). Math answered with authority many interesting questions to clarify practice".

The class: Introductory class to Yantra Yoga.
Yantra Yoga is a Tibetan Yoga of Movement & Breathing. Through positions and movements combined with breathing, one's energy is coordinated and harmonized so as to let the mind relax and find its authentic balance. Included in this introduction students will take away a simple and effective pranayama (breathing practice) to harmonize and strengthen their energy.

17:30 - 18:30 (Sydney GMT+10) Taught in English

The teacher: Mathew first did a course of Yantra Yoga with teacher Fabio Andrico who was visiting Australia in 1993, and he soon after became a student of the master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. Yantra Yoga became a core practice, and Mathew received his First Level Yantra Yoga Diploma in 2003.
In 2019 he also became an authorised teacher of the Respira better breathing system developed by Fabio Andrico.
Mathew has also trained in Iyengar Yoga, and trained and coached in sports and the martial arts, especially Judo. Originally a graduate of Anthropology (ANU), that and his practice of Yantra Yoga further inspired him to complete a three-year course in traditional Tibetan Medicine at the Shang Shung Institute (USA).
Mathew has a deep and abiding respect for the effectiveness of the Yantra Yoga system, and feels honoured to teach it.
