    1st Level Yantra Yoga teacher, Respira teacher

    Mathew Long is a qualified Yantra Yoga Instructor, and is a practitioner of Dzogchen.

    He first did a course of Yantra Yoga Union of Sun & Moon (Tibetan: Trulkhor Nyida khajor) with international teacher Fabio Andrico in 1993, and in 1994 became a student of the lineage head and Dzogchen Master, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. Yantra Yoga became a core practice, and Mathew was approved to teach it by the Master in 2003.

    With 23 years teaching experience, Mathew regularly collaborates with his international teaching cohort to strengthen what he has to offer.

    Mathew is also an accredited teacher of the Respira Method for better breathing developed by Fabio Andrico.

    Mathew strongly prefers a direct, in-person, community-focused approach and offers the opportunity to make a connection and to proceed at whatever pace and capacity suits the individual. He is equipped with a wealth of training expertise and with ancillary practices such as the Respira breathing method, to support individual student needs.
