Brandon Matarozzo

Hi Fitness Pro Travel Team! My name is Brandon and I am a yoga, meditation, breathwork, Pilates mat and Pilates reformer teacher originally from Toronto, Canada but currently travelling Australia. I am interested in applying my previous experience teaching classes (450 hours over 5 years) to create interesting, safe, fun and mindful yoga and Pilates classes for your resort clients. I am also interested in traveling the world and teaching students from different backgrounds. I believe one of the best ways to learn and grow is to experience different cultures, people and places, which is why this opportunity speaks so strongly to me. I have maintained a dedicated movement practice for 8 years and have taught classes for 5 years. One of my mantras is "Every day that I get to practice is a good day!" and this energy is what I hope to share with any students who steps into my class. I want my students to leave feeling better than they did when they entered.

I have been lucky to have the opportunity to teach in various locations within my home town of Toronto, including: traditional fitness studios, condo buildings, offices, school gymnasiums, outdoors, and in privately in people's houses. This has allowed me to build the skill of being able to teach anywhere at any time. All I need is a mat and I can create the energy needed to have an engaging and fun class. I think that this skill will provide value to you as you can send me anywhere and I will be able to feel comfortable, be myself and teach authentically.

Through my movement practice I have been able to understand myself better through deepening a mind-body connection, move more freely, and with less pain. More deeply, I believe that yoga provides the opportunity for mindfulness, for all of us to reflect on the aspects of our day-to-day life that serve us and those that perhaps don't so that we can consciously cultivate self-love and care more often. A lot of times it is hard to put ourselves first in our busy lives. We have work, family, friends and other obligations. That's one of the main reasons why people go on vacation in the first place, to reset and recharge their batteries! I am excited to help create a space that will help nurture this self care, where my students can prioritize themselves and have an amazing time on their vacation.
