Ana Forrest is recognized 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. She focuses on guiding students to use Forrest Yoga for the sacred exploration of truth, wholeness and health. Her teaching of asana, breath and the movement of energy allow for student epiphanies about their own experiences. She sees Forrest Yoga as a path for students to find and clear the emotional and mental blocks that dictate and limit their lives. In addition to yoga, Forrest has studied Native American medicine and ceremony, homeopathy, hands-on healing, martial arts, psychotherapy and regression therapy. She is a contributing expert for Yoga Journal and other national wellness publications. She teaches around the world at conferences, workshops and teacher trainings.
