| Introduction |
|---|
Offered once in the US at Kripalu and once in Hong Kong at Pure Yoga, this is a hands-on course taught over 9 days. It is open to yoga instructors who have taught for at least 3 years or participated in Forrest Yoga's Foundation teacher training course. Instructors of all Yoga traditions are welcome as the skills you'll learn enhance all teaching styles. Participants must have a regular personal practice and be ready to move deeper within themselves and assist students in the discovery of the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of yoga.
Ana Forrest designed this programme to be highly experiential. The training includes chanting, daily meditation, Pranayama, intensive yoga practice, working with injuries, addressing the needs and challenges of students, mentoring your own practice and needs, and learning the principles of class sequencing for the set-up and optimal implementation of advanced poses.

Our Mission
To grow our community of committed yoga practitioners, empowering those who demonstrate dedication to a personal practice, by sharing the knowledge, skills and tools we have learned so they too can start teaching yoga.
We intend to guide trainees toward a healthy self-confidence, while at the same time invoking in them a sense of humility and excitement, knowing that they are at the beginning of a long journey. |
| What You Will Learn |
|---|
Poses
Put into practice and teach intermediate and advanced arm balances, backbends, hip openers, abdominals, vinyasas, inversions, deep forward bends, advanced twists and bound poses. You will first practise the poses, then coach and spot each other in the morning session. Afternoon training sessions will be dedicated to improving your teaching skills and working with the different injuries, abilities, and challenges your students will bring to the yoga room.
Seeing
Hone your "seeing" skills on anatomical and energetic levels. You will learn how to overcome your habitual seeing - as a yoga instructor - to better witness the whole truth of what your students are presenting in class.
Sequencing
Go beyond basic sequencing and delve into the principles of teaching and healing students with specific injuries. Create sequencing for the set-up and optimal implementation of advanced poses. Learn to also increase strength, openness, and intelligence in all areas of your body.
Prioritise
Learn how to address the needs and challenges of your students more efficiently. Begin to address the issues that are of primary importance so that your students will yield the most profound results from your teaching.
Interface
Explore issues that are frequently encountered when working with intermediate and advanced students. Learn to interact with your student and their spirit, and help them form an alliance. Healing is a slow process that involves time, patience and honesty for both teacher and student. In order to address the myriad of questions that traditionally come up, Q & A sessions are regularly scheduled throughout the week. These intimate, safe sessions are designed so that each trainee has the opportunity to tap into Ana's 30+ years of teaching experience for answers to some of the tough questions, situations and scenarios that a yoga teacher faces today. Past questions have included: trainees' specific concerns or problems in teaching; their own needs in staying inspired and inspiring; developing the skill to become creative and effective with addressing their own needs and on to whatever path the trainees' impassioned questions lead us.
Working with Special Needs and Injuries
You will greatly increase your skill working with pregnancy and injuries including back, neck, shoulder, knee, sciatic and hamstring problems as well as post-surgical rehabilitation. Learn to manage the injuries you deal with on a daily basis.
Express the Wisdom of Your Spirit
By observing yourself, others, and receiving direct feedback, you will tighten the circle of understanding between your actions and their effects and become a more effective and compelling teacher. You will also further develop your particular gifts as a teacher to facilitate the greatest results for you and your students. Learn to risk being more truthful and how to speak from the eloquence of your spirit.
Accelerate Your Practice
Through daily intensive yoga and meditation classes, you will develop your practice and viscerally experience the poses that you will teach later that day. Each yoga class is specifically designed to relate to the training goals. |

Chanting
The tools of meditation are chanting, sitting, as well as questions and answers. These tools are used to help quiet the chatter of the mind in order to examine this question with clarity and focus. Developing a meditation practice can have a profound effect on your life. Instead of being controlled by the chatter of the mind, learn to use awareness in each moment to assess your relationship to that moment.
Each morning prior to the daily intensive yoga practice, Ana will use storytelling and chanting to help trainees free their minds from their attachment to habitual patterns of thinking and the resulting habitual patterns of action. The freedom from habitual thinking will have an immediate effect on your yoga and in your life.
Yoga Intensive & Advanced Asana with Ana Forrest
As the foundation of this course, the daily intensive yoga practice with Ana will create a heightened sense of physical, emotional and spiritual awareness while challenging every muscle and cell in your body. Through a carefully constructed and rigorous Forrest Yoga series of asanas, Ana will open you to amazing depths and feelings of awareness. You will leave feeling cleansed, refreshed and alive. The intensives are a sanctuary where you can feel safe enough to open up, work through issues that may arise, and go beyond your perceived limitations. You will learn about yourself and feel what it is like to have freedom in your own body and mind. The intensives are sure to bring each trainee to new levels within their yoga practice.
Each yoga intensive will become an advanced asana instructional period. A highly experiential session, this daily advanced asana period is structured so that each trainee works with others in the class in order to gain hands-on experience with spotting, assisting (to keep your students safe as they learn the advanced poses), variations and levelling all under the supervision of Ana and her assistants |

Ana Forrest is recognised worldwide as a pioneer in yoga and emotional healing. Born crippled, her own life trauma and experiences, including physical abuse, drug addiction, epilepsy, and bulimia, compelled her to create Forrest Yoga and the Forrest Yoga Educational Library.
Ana took her first yoga class on a dare at age 14 and became a certified yoga instructor at age 18. In her search to become a better healer and teacher, she studied Native American medicine and ceremony, Homeopathy, Hands- On Healing, Martial Arts, Psychotherapy, and Regression Therapy.
Her philosophy and approach are unique and powerful, drawing on her vast life experiences. She is a living example of a spirit who has freed herself from the bondage of trauma, and chosen a warrior's path of compassion. Having studied a multitude of yoga styles and healing modalities, Ana's focus is on guiding the student to use Forrest Yoga in a meaningful way for the sacred exploration of truth, wholeness, and health.
The way she teaches asana, breath, and the movement of energy allows for the epiphanies of the student's life experiences to emerge. These illuminations create a unique and powerful opportunity for the student to make practical life decisions based on their experiences.
Ana Forrest teaches yoga from an intuitive and highly developed understanding of the human body and psyche. She openly shares her wisdom in the yoga room. Every breath and yoga asana combine to create a healing dance between student and teacher. Ana challenges the student to access their whole being. She teaches the student to use Forrest Yoga as a path to find and clear the emotional and mental blocks that dictate and limit their lives. With Ana's meticulous guidance, students cultivate attentiveness and deep care to their own practice and life process, so each class becomes an exhilarating journey.
Ana is a well-known contributing expert to Yoga Journal and other national wellness publications. She has journeyed to India, Nepal, Costa Rica, Canada, Japan, Mexico, and throughout Europe and the United States and currently teaches internationally at yoga conferences, workshops, and teacher trainings. Ana is on the board of Advisors for the Foundation for Athletic Research & Education (F.A.R.E. Play) and is an instructor for continuing education at the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic.
Forrest Yoga Intensives, Teacher Trainings, and Workshops are for yoga students who are committed to personal spiritual growth.
"My intent in teaching Forrest Yoga is to do my part in 'Mending 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 on the earth in a healing way, in a Beauty Way." - Ana Forrest |
