Led by George MacPherson and Joe Fauria, this 2-hour breath and sound workshop will offer guests a deeply transformative experience that harnesses the potency of active participation; the innate power of our own breath, and the potential within a heightened awareness of sound available in deep listening.

This experience brings together two modalities of breathwork and sound meditation; which flow together to help us connect with what is real, create space and observe what arises, listen to what our body is telling us when we finally allow ourselves to surrender, still our minds and feel into the present moment.

Big Joe will expertly lead you through breathwork transitions, using a range of curated, rhythmic breath patterns for you to safely release, and allow your body to drop into an altered state. From here, a soundscape created by George, working with various over tone emitting instruments such as symphonic gong, chimes, Himalayan bowls and more – becomes your guide to your inner journey of self reflection, potent contemplation and experiencing the unstruck sound within – Anahata.

We will close with an opportunity to share and hold space for each other in this co-created container.

Community Circle
Circle is Open to All Genders
breath work + meditation + reflection + connection

The need for human connection runs deep in each of us and is beyond all exchange of information. One spirit, one being to another .

Humans are ingenious with the many ways we have come up with to connect ; the language of words ,music, art, nature. If we are attentive enough, communication even sitting in presence with one another becomes the transfer of tenderness, one human heart to another .

Circles are an undeniably powerful means to find this connection . “In circle” we can deepen our awareness and process our lives in a very unique way that is not always accessible on our own . And that comes thru witnessing and listening.

Listening to our own breath , our own voice and to the voices of others . Thru the undeniable power of our energies and voices finding resonance together, we become more centered , more present. This connection with others allows us lean in together and navigate our way thru a time that is demanding we both individually and collectively change .

Yoga instructor Matt Giordano 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.

Originally from Sea Cliff, Long Island, Giordano spent seven years developing his teaching style living in Manhattan, where he taught at local studios (Pure NYC, Equinox). Matt now travels internationally to teach his signature technique based style of yoga, educating yoga students on how to use their body in a profound and life changing way. Well-known for his ability to guide students deeply into postures with his refined attention to detail and precise action cues, Giordano is an adept guide for all-levels students at festivals, workshops and in his weekly studio classes. His study of biomechanics and integrative mind-body techniques informs his teaching, as he draws upon wisdom from traditions of yoga, martial arts (Aikido and Tae Kwan Do), acrobatics, AcroYoga and Thai Yoga Massage. Matt is known to inspire a humble confidence, allowing students to find ease while expanding the edge of their comfort zones.

In 2016 Matt created and founded an international school of yoga that focuses on community, growth and authentic teaching, and hosts training each year out of his home in north west Connecticut.

Magazines – Matt has been featured in multiple magazines including Yoga Journal, Martha Stewart’s Whole Living, Alignyo, Yoga Dork amongst others.

Television – He has also been featured on local and national television, Austrian TV, Aspen Local, and LIVE! With Kelly and Michael

Conferences – He has taught at festivals and conferences around the world including Wanderlust, Yoga Games, Yolo Festival Korea, The German Yoga Conference, Swiss Yoga Conference, Austrian Yoga Conference, Inside Yoga Conference, Yoga on The Mountain, Yoga Journal Conferenceand many more.

Online – Matt has taught for multiple online platforms including Gaiam, Gaia TV, My Yoga Online, and Tint Yoga and his own platform www.theyogimatt.com where he has his largest selection of online content today.
