About Matthew Cox

I grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina and have lived in Ohio, New Jersey, San Francisco and in the woods various places on the East Coast. Currently, I live in Asheville, North Carolina.

You can mostly find me at Migun of Asheville helping people get on the beds where my experience as a yoga teacher has really helped.

One way to get to know me is to see what books I've read cover to cover. Or read this article I wrote which gives a pretty good idea of what my outlook on life is. Here's another article I wrote about yoga and what it means to me.  I consider music to be a part of my spiritual/bhakti yoga path and in 2005 I began playing tablas regularly for our local kirtan led by Sangita Devi. You can check out some of our kirtan music on their website and some of my own music on this site in the Downloads section.

I live pretty simply, no television for example but have a lot more luxuries than I had 15 years ago such as electricity. I've also recently reverted to having no internet at home which has greatly helped my meditation practice.  And though I don't need much, food is always appreciated or if you're feeling particulary generous a gift from my Amazon wishlist would be nice.
