Forrest Yoga Philosophy Ana Forrest, creator of Forrest
Yoga, has a unique and powerful philosophy and
approach toward yoga.
Ana has spent 30 years
developing Forrest Yoga specifically to address
Our People's (current day) stresses and
challenges, both physical and
emotional. Forrest Yoga use 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.
The pillars of Forrest Yoga are
Breath, Strength, Integrity and
Spirit. Our mission is to create
in each of us a
sense of freedom, a connection to our spirit and the
courage to walk as our spirit dictates; thus, doing
our part in "Mending the Hoop of the
People". Forrest Yoga will teach you to
Go Deeper, find
your Truth and
encourage you to take these gifts you have earned
Beyond the Mat
into the rest of your life.
Forrest Yoga helps you connect
to your core - getting strong and centered. It uses
heat, deep breathing and vigorous sequences to
sweat out toxins. The long holds in the pose
progressions help you flush, oxygenate and
rejuvenate every cell.
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.
Forrest Yoga honors and
celebrates the beauty of life and the power of Spirit.
It is an inspiring yoga practice that builds flexibility,
intelligence and strength while helping deepen the
relationship with your authentic self. Accessing
your intuition - the voice of your Spirit - builds
personal strength and ushers integrity into your
daily interactions with all beings. Forrest Yoga
challenges you to heal, grow and welcome your
Spirit home.
