In this episode Matt and I chat over how years of using and abusing his body eventually led him to yoga where he explored his curiosity for understanding his unique path to feeling better.
About Matt
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 7 years developing his teaching style while 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 bodies 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 students of all levels 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 Kwon Do), acrobatics, AcroYoga, and Thai Yoga Massage. Matt is known to inspire 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 he hosts trainings each year out of his home in northwest Connecticut.

Welcome to part 2 of episode 36 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Mike Golden about the spinal cord as it is more than you could ever imagine.
Mike Golden is back on the podcast explaining more about the spinal cord. He starts by talking about his journey in personal training and coaching and being a part of Z-health. He loves breaking down difficult topics to make it accessible to everyone. He shares how the Z-health program on the brain and nervous system is divided into smaller parts to make learning easier. In the model the knowledge is translated into simple steps. In addition, he precisely explains what the spinal cord is. He talks about the way that it is built and the function behind it. He discusses the importance of the pathways and briefly explains what they are capable of. He also talks about visual or auditive activation, and what effect they have on treating pain. During his work he has realized that neuro anatomy should be a bigger part of the general knowledge about the body and should be accessible to many people.

Welcome to part 2 of episode 34 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Dr. Svenja Borchers speaks into science behind proprioception and how the brain and spinal chord work together to sense the body in space.
Do you want to learn more about the important part that proprioception plays for your body and brain? Svenja Borchers is a neuroscientist and yoga teacher who specialized in neuro psychology and object perception. In this podcast she talks about the connection between the brain and movements. She explains what proprioception means and how it is basically our 6th sense. She talks about where the body gets its proprioceptive information from and how the complexity of the wiring is connected to the continuous information exchange. She discusses the roles that proprioception, interoception and our 5 senses play for our brain and how good our brain is at adapting to the demands it is given. She talks about pain perception, the brain maps, and the significance of sensory input. In addition, she shares how proprioception can be improved, which does not only apply to hypermobile people. In her book “Der Yoga Effekt”, she introduces basic functions of neuroscience and how it relates to sensory perception. Challenging the brain to keep it happy is a significant insight she has gained through her studies and yoga practice.

Do you know what scoliosis can teach everyone? Meredith Weiss is a physio that specializes in this vast and intriguing topic. In the podcast Meredith gives us insight into the Schroth method and how it is connected to yoga. Although a huge fan of yoga to support those with spinal imbalances, she also shares things to be mindful of to not exacerbate the challenges this community comes up against. Meredith shares a wealth of knowledge from the foundation of breath and how important it is to stabilize the spine to the importance of the core, nasal breathing and working with the vestibular system. Whilst many like to knock the neutral S-curve alignment, she has found that using it as a foundation has been truly transformational for her clients. Her greatest gift is how she layers awareness about the spine, strategies for stability and the power of breathing.
