Nevertheless, he was on his feet when he turned three years old.

He started walking when he was four. After that, his verbal skills were developing day by day.

Despite the fact that Matvey tries so hard and wants to learn, but it is much harder for him to solve some tasks, which other kids can handle easily.

Matvey is very interested in classes, where he can practice with adults. He is ready to do anything, but in the company of other people: writing, painting, coloring, reading…But he likes Kundalini yoga classes most of all.

Thanks to Kundalini yoga classes Matvey has got energy and got interested in dances and jiu-jitsu.

Matvey's motor skills become better and better when he practices Kundalini yoga regularly, also, you can see that his thought process is much better as well as his awareness when he does arm swings, breath exercises, twisting.
