Hi! I’m Matthew, a Yoga Alliance certified instructor and certified teacher of Mindfulness Meditation. Yoga has become my way of living, my compass for navigating the vicissitudes of life. It informs everything that I do to unlock my reservoirs of hidden potential.

I have been blessed to be teaching at various studios, gyms, events, and working with private clients since 2015.

My practice is rooted in the Hatha yoga tradition, and cultivates a deep sense of calm and awareness. This is accomplished by working with breath, slowing down and encouraging the student to meet themselves where they are at with acceptance, while working to access untapped potential. This practice both purifies and energizes, thus clearing the mental clutter and building one’s inner sacred space. 

I practiced and studied for years under the guidance of Maheshwar, a student of Swami Ashutosh Muni at Sacred Ground Yoga. I obtained my certification to teach mindfulness meditation from Cyndi Lee, widely known meditation teacher. While these were milestones, my education and practice continues constantly!

It’s my aim to serve others and foster connectedness and community through practicing yoga together.

YOGA & CLIMBING WORKSHOP

Do you notice limitations in your climbing caused by fear and frustration, flexibility/mobility, or negative mindset? 

Do you want to bring more smoothness and ease into your climbing, while also stepping up your grades? 

This workshop, led by Matthew DeRubertis (RYT 200 and AMGA climbing guide), will teach you how to integrate yoga & climbing. 

Yoga has so much to offer the climber, and this 90 min. workshop is designed to present yogic tools in a simple and effective way through breathing exercises, yoga poses, meditation, and actually climbing together!

These tools can help you become more relaxed and confident in whatever grade you are working on. 

I book this workshop mainly at climbing gyms and climbing related events.
