Forrest Yoga
The Forrest Yoga System was created by Ana Forrest.
She has a unique and powerful philosophy and approach toward yoga. Ana has spent 40 years developing Forrest Yoga specifically to address current day stresses and challenges both physical and emotional. Forrest Yoga uses intense pose sequences, compassionately taught, to develop skills in awakening each of the senses. It teaches you to bring aliveness, using breath, into every cell of your body igniting your passion for living.
Forrest Yoga invites people of all levels of fitness and all ages to enjoy the benefits of yoga.
As a beginner to Forrest Yoga, you learn to breathe deeply and connect in feeling with your body. As you progress, you get proficient at safely tailoring each pose to work best for you; particularly with physical and emotional injuries. Learning to work honestly at your edges, you develop effective tools to deal with fear and struggle. This makes it possible for integrity, self awareness and playful curiosity to become part of your daily life.
Forrest Yoga does not require strength or flexibility; it only requires that you bring a willingness to learn how to feel authentically and respond honestly. As you advance in Forrest Yoga, step by step, you learn to intelligently ride your breath into the exhilarating advanced poses. In addition, you learn to exercise your emotional body through the full spectrum of feeling.

“Gracefully she balanced while moving from one inverted pose to another. As we watched in awe her well muscled partner said to me, “ I might look stronger than her because of my muscles but she is way stronger than me because of her focus”. At that moment something clicked inside me. I realized, I want to deepen my focus. Focus is Strength. ””
