FORREST YOGA CERTIFICATION

The rapid growth and popularity of Forrest Yoga within the US and abroad has created the need for qualified Forrest Yoga teachers. All teachers are personally trained by Ana Forrest in the healing modalities of Forrest Yoga. A Forrest Yoga Certified Teacher has gone through extensive teaching training, starting with the Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher Training, meticulously designed by Ana and subsequent readings and requirements that provide a wealth of insight and in depth knowledge as a Forrest Yoga Teacher. As a Forrest Yoga Certified Teacher, your teaching is rich with intelligence into the various ways to guide your students in their healing processes.

Completion of the Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher Training, including (a) 100% attendance at daily meditations, yoga intensives, afternoon instruction, Business course, Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers, and (b) participation in co-teaching the Introduction to Forrest Yoga Workshop (any missed classes will jeopardize your certification).
2. 15 hours of unsupervised community service teaching.
3. 20 hours of anatomy instruction (as of 2010 Ellen Heed's Functional Anatomy for Yoga will be included in the Foundation course, and the anatomy required for certification).
4. Attend 40 additional yoga classes (10 of which should include typed critiques).

6. Begin teaching ongoing classes (public or private) within 6 months after the end of your Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher Training and submit proof of your paid teaching.

The certification processing and filing fee is included in the tuition of the Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher Training, up to 12 months after the end date of your Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher Training. If you do not complete your certification requirements within one year, you may apply for an extension. If an extension is granted, you will need to complete the most current certification requirements and pay a $75 processing fee to process your certification. To apply for an extension, email the Teacher Liaison . The year-long Forrest Yoga Mentorship Program provides for an additional extension, the 12-month period starts from the start date of your Forrest Yoga Mentorship Program Cycle.
