Ana Forrest

• Unraveling the Mysteries of Hips, Neck and Shoulders
  

  Tuesday, February 16, 6-9 p.m.

  All levels (must have some yoga experience)

  In this Forrest Yoga workshop you learn to create freedom and strength in hip, neck, & shoulders. You will learn to safely unlock these habitual tension spots through intensely focused breathwork and asana (including inversions, standing poses, and vinyasa). Strengthen and lengthen the muscles around these joints, and create space in these areas. This work helps you walk through your life with grace and freedom.

• Changing Your Relationship To Fear
  

  Wednesday, February 17, 8:30-11:30 a.m.

  Intermediate / Advanced (must be able to do wheel)

  How does fear affect you? Interested in learning how to change your relationship to fear? Fear is a powerful emotion that dictates our decisions and hinders us from making good choices. Fear can lead to anxiety, overwhelm, despair and depression. Forrest Yoga teaches you a different way to relate and work with fear. It teaches you to use fear as a warning call, to listen, be alert and proceed cautiously. Fear does not have to be something that paralyzes you. In this workshop you’ll use breath and asana to access, comfort and support the parts of your body that are constricted by fear. This new approach to our fearful places brings about change immediately. Your body responds and relief can be felt immediately. You learn to move breath into these areas, stay steady, and remain present as difficult emotions surface, shift, and transform. The bands that constrict your life force and contort your body begin to loosen. You will have room to breathe! When you treat your fearful parts with attention and compassion, you allow the ‘wonderful’ back into your life.
