Workshops & Events

In this Forrest Yoga session you learn to create freedom and strength in hip, neck and 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.

All Ana & Jose Workshops can be taken individually or as a Weekend Series.

This workshop is specifically designed to help you elevate your practice to the next level mind, body, and spirit through a deeper understand of poses and how your body does them. 
We will study the principles of Tadasana (Mountain Pose) and apply them to understanding the geometry and anatomy of all other poses. We will explore the relationships of legs to hips, arms to shoulders, torso to pelvis as well as hinge, ball and socket, and pivot joints. We will work to strengthen your drishti and develop your skills to tune into your own physical constitution in relation to the poses and their alignments.


Forrest Yoga takes you on a physical and mental journey deep into the core of your own being. You will create a heightened sense of awareness through breath and asanas, and open to the amazing quality of feeling that lives inside of you. Use Forrest Yoga to connect to your core, shed what is no longer useful, keep what is of value and ‘with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.” Challenge and move your core energy into those areas where it has yet to be. Come sweat, breathe deeply and enter the incredible mystery of your core. You will feel cleansed, refreshed and alive.

How does fear affect you? Interested in learning how to change your relationship to fear? Forrest Yoga teaches you to use fear as a warning call, to listen, be alert and proceed cautiously. In this session you will 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 quickly. 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. When you treat your fearful parts with attention and compassion, you allow the ‘wonderful’ back into your life.

All Ana & Jose Workshops can be taken individually or as a Weekend Series.

Forrest Yoga teaches you how to deepen your poses by relating in a fresh, intelligent way to your challenging edges. Learn how to relax your core and safely change fear into excitement by riding the power of breath. In this session you will learn a different way to relate to your ‘edges’ besides struggling and panicking. By listening to the intelligence of your body you can create a deep, rewarding struggle-free practice. These principles of working through your struggles and fear apply to all aspects of your life. Be prepared to sweat and work in a whole new way.

Join Erin for Yoga for Emotional Release: a spacious, quiet hour for you to work inward. Consider this class a work in rather than a work out. The movement will be slow, supported, and thoughtful. The music will be wordless and meditative. The language will be minimal, spacious, and trauma-informed. (To be clear: trauma will NOT be discussed.) This is a safe, non-judgmental container for you to use mindfulness, breath, and accessible postures as “anchors of safety” while you feel whatever you happen to be feeling. Erin will be there to facilitate your process, with as little influence as possible. (The class will be an hour, but as always, you have the freedom to leave before final rest.)

Breathwork Healing is an ancient meditation technique used to deeply connect with our inherent intuitive life force for self-healing.
In this workshop we will explore a two-stage pranayama breathing pattern that is used to unlock and release any emotionally stuck energy within the body brought on by a variety of experiences including anxiety, stress, and trauma. We’ll start with a brief overview of the Breathwork Healing technique followed by a short asana practice, then we’ll begin the Breathwork Meditation Healing session.

Chelsea will lead a rockin' Friday night All Levels Flow class designed to strengthen and tone your core. AND so much more! The best part of this special class is that ALL proceeds will be donated to the non-profit foundation, Every Mother Counts.
What's Every Mother Counts? 303,000 women die every year as a result of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. That's one woman every two minutes. For each of these deaths, an average of four orphans are left behind. And most of these women are not only the caretakers, but they are the teachers, the healthcare providers or the community leaders - the ones who ensure that children get food, education and clean water. AND a majority of these deaths are preventable. Please help us spread this message and address the barriers to maternal health around the globe and at home!

This is a 60 minute challenging special Vinyasa Yoga class with a hip hop playlist! Think Jay Z, Lil Wayne and so much more!! The class will be challenging, dynamic and fun! A yoga event you won't want to miss! #detox2retox #hiphopyoga
