My name is Matthias Schmidt, born in 1959, married, with one daughter and two grandchildren.

After studying at the Goethe University of Frankfurt (Masters in physics and Ph.D. in medicine) I was a senior manager at Fresenius, a German health care company from 1985 to 2001. I then briefly worked as a business coach and consultant.

Since 2003, I have been supporting people to find their path, initially through energy work, family constellations and coaching.

I began the practice of Ashtanga Yoga in 2008 and started to teach it in 2010. You can find details about my yogic path here.

My hobbies are travelling, photography, languages and reading.

Let me thank all my teachers, my fellow students and all those who trusted me to accompany them and who I may still accompany. I give special thanks to my family for their love, support and tolerance.
