Curriculum Themes

Yoga as a healing path
Ana is a pioneer in the practice of using yoga to transform physical and emotional pain into a journey toward freedom and healing. She will teach you the tools to take control of your life and rid your cells of unwanted pain and trauma, so you may bring the same healing to your students.

Walking the path of your Spirit
The training’s objective is to guide you into a greater understanding of your own challenges, both in your yoga practice and in your everyday life. This awareness will allow you to teach from truths that are discovered rather than from a dogma. Teaching authentically is more effective and compelling for both you and your students.

Teaching through discovery
Through a tightly woven circle of teaching modalities including lecture, videotaping, group circles, practice teaching and partner work you will participate in a wide variety of teaching activities where learning is achieved through discovery of experiential knowledge. You will learn principles of alignment, class sequencing, working with injuries and energy, modifying yoga postures to address an individual‟s needs and teaching private, beginning and intermediate classes. There is opportunity to teach beginning level students, see and diagnose injuries and energy as well as proper use of touch and adjustment to maximize your teaching impact. The training format encourages trainees to discover their own wisdom while offering guidance so that you can effectively convey this wisdom when teaching.

About Ana Forrest

Ana Forrest is an internationally renowned pioneer in yoga and healing. Her own trauma and life experiences have formed the foundation from which Ana created Forrest Yoga - a distinct approach of using yoga to address today‟s physical and emotional challenges with a highly developed understanding of the human body and psyche.

She challenges her students to access their whole being and to use Forrest Yoga as a path to finding and then clearing the emotional and mental blocks that dictate and limit their lives. With Ana‟s meticulous guidance, students cultivate an acute awareness of their own practice and life process, creating a unique and powerful opportunity for the student to make practical life decisions based on their own experiences.

“In teaching Forrest Yoga, I am doing my part to "Mend the Hoop of the People,‟ to inspire people to clear through the stuff that hardens them and sickens their bodies so they can walk freely and lightly in a healing way, in a Beauty Way.”

With more than 35 years of experience teaching yoga, Ana Forrest is a living example of a teacher who has freed herself from the strictures of trauma and habits and chosen a warrior‟s path of truth and compassion. She became a certified yoga instructor at the age of 18, is an ordained practitioner of Native American medicine and has studied Polarity Therapy, Acupressure, Homeopathy, Hands-on Healing, Martial Arts, Psychotherapy and Regression Therapy. Giving her life mission to "Mend the Hoop of the People‟ a global reach, Ana continues to teach around the world throughout the year. Ana‟s book, Fierce Medicine, (HarperOne) was published in May 2011.
