   First I apologize for l write in french . My english isn’t fluent enough .
   Depuis plusieurs mois je pratique les immersions avec Matt . Et j’ai découvert une pratique extrêmement précise et novatrice.
   D’un point de vue biomécanique , mental , spirituel , tout est extrêmement professionnel et est le fruit d’un énorme travail aussi bien personnel qu’avec l’aide de chercheurs de toutes disciplines.
   Vous découvrez de nouvelles sensations mêmes dans les postures les plus courantes et ce travail que vous êtes amené à approfondir vous fait , à son tour, découvrir de nouveaux horizons jusqu’alors jugés comme innatteignables.
   Les asanas ne sont plus décrits comme un cadre d’acier inamovible mais comme le moyen d’une prise de conscience de tous les recoins de votre corps avec un travail sur tous les muscles même et surtout ceux que vous oubliez.
   Le travail par internet est très bien organisé.Matt parle un américain très facile à comprendre (même pour un anglais) . L’accès aux différentes classes est définitif, vous pouvez y retourner quand vous voulez.
   Bref je conseil vivement , à minima un essai.
   Petit détail.les tarifs sont en $ ce qui fait un peu moins en € .
   Fantastique.
   Sorry again but perhaps for francophones people .
   du Canada , de la Belgique , de la Suisse, de l’Afrique ou simplement de la France , ou d’ailleurs.
   Titulaire 200h , pratiquant essentiellement à Bordeaux, Paris depuis plusieurs années, ainsi qu’en Europe j’ai rarement été aussi enthousiasmé .

   This is my 5th Immersion session with Matt.

   Spinal movements are needed to do heart openers, forward folds, side bends and side twists, therefore this is a critical practice session not to be missed.

   I am not good at engaging my back muscles thus they are weak.I used to have problem doing chair pose.After Matt’s steps by steps guidance, I am now able to do a perfect chair pose, with hip flexion activated, spine forward, chest up, shoulder back, head up and ultimately lower back engaged plus sit low.

   I have learned to do a perfect side bend by first activate the lateral flexion of spine, which prior to this immersion, I used to do side bend by just literally using the gravity pull to shape the pose

   Also learned how to deepen my forward fall by first activate the hip flexion, follow by core activation to create spinal flexion, instead of just using gravity to fall forward.

   With Matt’s steps by steps guidance on how to properly rotate the spine, I can now deepen my side twists.

   This immersion definitely helps with acceleration of Yoga practice by perfecting poses effectively.

   I haven’t done this immersion yet, however I would love to recommend it to anyone who might be interested as it is in my waiting list too. My experience with Matt is been so far great and I have to say that he, being a world class yoga instructor, offers excellent value for money and most importantly life time access to the contents..which goes far beyond price!

   Spinal Awakening is my fifth and my favorite immersion. For the very first time I was able to practice the Camel Pose without having problems in my lower back afterwards. Thanks to this great and precise guide from Matt. I am so happy now. And I can see where the problem was.
   We also learned how to breathe in backbends, which is very helpful.
   I have gained more mobility in the middle chest and feel more free, which also affects my breathing.
   I was also able to definitely improve my forward bends.
   This immersion has given me so much!

   It’s been a few months since I’ve practiced this series, but the techniques Matt has offered for spinal movements in this series have really stayed with me. Thus, I feel compelled to write this review. I loved the series format (cycling through classes with a focus on Forward Folding, Back Bending, Side Bending, and twisting). However, it is breaking a spinal twist into 4 steps that is forever seared into my memory (because it was so helpful.). I also appreciate how in general Matt demonstrates a dedicated to making sure he is clearly communicating – this is through an abundance of verbal cueing, suggesting muscle engagements and demonstrating with multiple camera angles. I don’t typically get to catch the live stream, but also appreciate the real time feedback the live chat offers. I generally find it helpful when a question comes up in the live stream. I also believe the set-up is fairly unique for on-line instruction (at least from what I have tried) and keeps me actively engaged throughout the class. On other platforms I’ll pause the video to see how much time I have left in the class. On this platform, if I’m pausing the video, it’s to explore a pose or muscle engagement a bit more. I think I’m likely to revisit this immersion.
