Leadership

GG Matthews is the visionary Founder and CEO of GGA Dwarf Goat Yoga, a groundbreaking venture that integrates the therapeutic power of animals with the practice of yoga. With a rich background in music production, GG has spent over two decades in the music industry, earning widespread acclaim for his contributions. Despite his success in the music realm, his lifelong passion for animals and a keen interest in Buddhist teachings and meditation steered him towards a unique entrepreneurial journey.

GG’s love for animals is not just a part of his life; it’s at the core of his being. Being surrounded by a diverse array of animals including dwarf caimans, pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, cows and raccoons, he developed a profound appreciation for their consistent nature. In his eyes, animals represent a steadfast source of unconditional love and authenticity, traits he finds refreshing in contrast to the ever-changing dynamics of human relationships.

Drawing from his personal experiences and spiritual journey, GG saw an opportunity to meld his love for animals with his interest in meditation and wellness. This inspiration led to the creation of GGA Dwarf Goat Yoga, a therapeutic experience that combines the practice of yoga, hiking, pilates, reiki and meditation with the joy and healing presence of dwarf goats. This innovative concept not only offers a unique wellness experience but also underscores the therapeutic benefits of animal interaction, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

GG’s transition from a successful music producer to the entrepreneur behind a novel wellness concept reflects his multifaceted personality and diverse talents. His journey is a testament to the idea that following one’s passions, however unconventional they may seem, can lead to the creation of meaningful and impactful ventures. Through GGA Dwarf Goat Yoga, Brandon continues to inspire others to embrace the healing power of animals and the tranquility of yoga, offering a sanctuary where people can find peace, joy, and a sense of connection in the presence of these loving creatures.
