In this episode of the Leadership in Yoga podcast, I sit down with Matt Meko to dive into his inspiring journey—from working in the entertainment industry to fully embracing yoga and tantra. Matt opens up about the power of self-acceptance and learning to feel comfortable in your own skin. We also get into the concept of naked yoga, and he shares an insightful presentation on tantra, highlighting the balance of energies and how creating a safe space can foster exploration and growth. Our conversation touches on the intricate dynamics of masculine and feminine energies, the principles of tantra, and the role of surrender and chaos in personal growth. Matt breaks it down with practical examples, showing how these ideas can help us find more balance and wholeness in life.
