Matt Wilkey
Rahu Yoga
Matt is a full time yoga teacher and yoga has been an integral and central part of his life for a decade. He first connected with the practice of yoga after going through psychological struggles while at university. In short order he experienced a marked improvement in his mental health and realised that it was essential for him to study the practice more deeply.
After three years of dedicated practice he was invited to attend a two month intensive teacher programme under the tutelage of world renowned senior Iyengar teacher Glenn Ceresoli and has since attended multiple retreats and workshops to deepen his knowledge and practice. Rahu Yoga is Matt's own 'brand' of yoga which embodies Iyengar principles with his own unique approach and individual style.
​
In 2020 Matt began to explore the contemplative and meditative practices of Tibetan Buddhism under the guidance of Lama Choedak Rinpoche. Matt is now trained in mindfulness and meditation and conducts regular 8 week Calm-Abiding Meditation courses at Zelkova.
