• Hi, my name is Nathan.

  • Strike the Match is my blog on living an engaged life. You can subscribe here for free.

  • I also teach muay thai, yoga, and meditation. These practices have changed my life. If you are looking for a positive change, I am here to help. An overview of each practice can be found here.

  • I teach in 3 general areas

  • Muay Thai

    Muay Thai is a form of kickboxing originating in Thailand. My Kru (Thai for teacher) taught me "old school" Muay Thai which includes eight weapons ( knee's, elbow's, kick's, punches) but enhances them with a ninth weapon - the mind. This practice is physically intense and burns large amounts of calories. Best for the person who refuses to stop moving.

  • Yoga

    Yoga originated in India. I teach Hatha Yoga - a practice originating from classical poses that is characterized by longer pose holds and attention to alignment, breath, and the mind. Classes are customized to the individual and can range from relaxed and restorative to physically challenging. Best for anyone and everyone.

  • Meditation

    Meditation is training of the mind encompassing many methods beyond sitting in silence. It is typically relaxing and involves minimal physical exertion. Ideal for those contemplating big questions, looking to increase performance, wanting to change situational responses and only looking for the mental aspect.
