All the Forrest Yoga workshop series provide intelligent sequencing & continuity.
Workshops run for 2.5 hours and are suitable for intermediate to advanced students, with down levels also provided for beginners. Each series contains a full- bodied sequence of Pranayama, Asanas, including backbends, inversions, hand balances, Meditation & Ceremony. On Saturday afternoon practice will be enriched by Live Music Healing.
Each workshop begins with a yet very special Ceremony of song, invocation, and smoke blessing. Ana and Jose Calarco set the intent for the practice and honor of the ancestors and custodians of our sacred land.
Any of these practices can be taken as a series or as a stand-alone. For a whole and deep experience, we recommend attending all workshops.
Unraveling the Mysteries of the Internal Wilderness takes us on a journey deep into the intimate recesses of our very own being.
What’s underneath the mental noise & clutter?
How can we reach the fertile grounds of the “second attention”?
Ana Forrest is an inspiration and has been changing people’s lives for over 45 years. She is an internationally-recognized pioneer in yoga and emotional healing. She is the Creatrix of Forrest Yoga, a mystic, visionary, philanthropist, author, and Medicine Woman. Ana crafted Forrest Yoga while working through healing from her own life’s traumas – abuse and addictions, the helplessness around the addictions, and the ongoing suffering from chronic injuries & illnesses.
The process of healing herself inspired her to teach others about what really works to heal themselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Forrest Yoga is a powerfully physical, internally focused practice that emphasizes how to integrate the transformative experiences from the mat into purposeful daily life. Forrest Yoga is now an exquisite collaboration between Ana and her husband Jose Calarco. He is our Musical Shaman, embodying and bringing alive ancient spiritual technologies, like Aboriginal culture through stories and song. He also teaches on the intelligence of the Vegan lifestyle and is the creative director of Forrest Yoga.
Ana Forrest and Jose Calarco came together in a “Synergistic Collision” of cosmic proportions. Integrating their worlds of Yoga, Music, Culture, Philosophy, Healing and Shamanism, they have transmuted Forrest Yoga into a sanctuary, where students learn to cultivate love and their own renewed sense of hope. Today Ana and Jose are at the forefront of the Yoga world, guiding its future and evolution. Together, Ana and Jose teach people how to use the tools of Forrest Yoga to move out numbness and connect to the rich spectrum of feeling and purpose.
