What to say about the Matthew Sweeney workshop… I don’t want to go into too much detail, as I am typing this on the iPhone, which is an enormous pain.

One thing I know for sure: it rocks to just do yoga all day. Mysore practice in the morning. Next accomplishment? Have breakfast. Next accomplishment? Reading or a nap. Adjustment workshop from noon ’til 3. Early dinner. Read. Go to bed.

Heaven.

Here’s my high level review of Matthew as a teacher:
1) He is absolutely respectful of each individual’s personal and psychological space.
2) He is all about empowering the practitioner.
3) Neither 1 nor 2 is a marketing gimmick.

Interestingly, he seems more free of transference issues than any teacher or professor I’ve ever dealt with. And this does not come at the expense of humor or charm.

He seems absolutely committed to teaching individuals, and equally committed to not creating psychological entanglements. Maybe this is a characteristic of traveling teachers? Whatever. It is incredibly refreshing.

If you need (or want) to learn to contain your own practice within your self, you might want to spend some time practicing with Matthew.
