Welcome. I’m Matthew.
This space is for practices and ideas that support the spirit, mind, and body. I believe in love, compassion, and interdependence. We are all connected. Our actions should reflect that care for each other and the world around us.
I explore topics such as yoga, meditation, social justice, free software, and the values that guide my life. You’ll find reflections on living ethically, serving others, and growing in awareness. This is a place to explore how we can improve ourselves and the world together.
I invite you to join me on this journey.
Currently, I am:
- Yoga Teacher, The Marsh and Minnesota Arboretum
- Host, Pretty Good Meditation podcast
- Congregational Connector, Minnesota Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Alliance (MUUSJA)
- Lead Engineer, Lullabot

Previously, I was:
- Board Chair, onelove.yoga (yoga in schools)
- Prison Meditation Group Facilitator, Minnesota Department of Corrections
- Visiting Assistant Professor of Musicology, University of Iowa

I live near Minneapolis, Minnesota. These days I mostly play harmonium, but I’ve been playing violin since age 5. I love any opportunity to play string quartets with my wife (viola) and two children (cello and violin).
