Forrest Yoga was created by Ana Forrest. Forrest Yoga has predictable elements…it follows a blueprint and has at least one peak pose. It also has surprising elements, none of which are arbitrary. Forrest Yoga is true vinyasa – vinyasa krama, which means a step-by-step progression toward a goal. Specifically, the practice has a codified warm-up, during which the nervous system settles. Every practice begins with a short pranayama (breathwork) . Early breathwork makes the rest of class much sweeter. The sequence progresses to either a standing-pose series, which connects standing poses. At least one peak pose happens during this time. The practice then includes a warm-down and, finally, a cool-down. The practice is taught in a heated space, about 27C.
