"Forrest" Yoga comes to Guernsey - Sunday 14th September

Ana Forrest is revered in the yoga world as one of the leading pioneers in adapting yoga to suit the western world.  She’s been teaching more than forty years, based in the USA, and is building a legacy through her biography Fierce Medicine and her commitment to train Forrest teachers to continue her life’s purpose of “mending the hoop of the people”.

When I was became a full-time yoga teacher in 2013, I noticed Ana was visiting the UK to run an Advanced Forrest Teacher Training in London. I applied for a place, and was fortunate to be accepted.

The course was intense and not for the faint-hearted! Her approach to teaching is different from any other style of yoga. It’s all about accessing memory stored in our cell tissues and releasing blocked energy and emotions that don’t serve us and replacing our habitual negative patterns with healthy ones.  Forrest yoga is based on the four principles of breath, strength, integrity and spirit.

Jambo is Ana’s leading UK based teacher and Forrest Guardian.  It was an honour to welcome him to Guernsey and we had a total sell-out for the two courses run at St Pierre Park on Sunday 14 September ‘Unlocking the Shoulders’ and ‘Yoga for Anxiety’.

I teach Forrest yoga on Tuesday nights at St Pierre Park Hotel which is now my most popular class but will be adding more to the PowerYoga 2015 timetable.
