Purpose

The pre-training can be completed on one’s own time, except for the retreat, which must be attended in person.

Style/Lineage

Chromatic Yoga is a modern methodology developed by Matt Giordano that blends anatomy, biomechanics, sequencing, and teaching technique into a clear, structured framework. It does not preach dogmatic alignment or philosophy; instead, it emphasizes authenticity, teaching students to practice and instruct with intention, action, and awareness. Its lineage is not tied to a historical figure but arises from the integration of knowledge with effective methodology, designed to help teachers offer both authentic expression and efficient, transformative teaching.
