What is Forrest yoga?
Forrest yoga is an intensely physical form of yoga, with some similarity to Ashtanga yoga. During this form of yoga, you move through a sequence of demanding poses designed to build heat, sweat out toxins and release pent-up emotions.
What is the aim of Forrest yoga?
Forrest yoga is based on four key principles: breath, strength, integrity and spirit. The focus on breathing is aimed at helping you connect with your body. The focus on strength is aimed at helping you become stronger and more centred. The focus on integrity is aimed at helping your self-awareness so you learn how this yoga works best for you. The focus on spirit is aimed at helping you create a sense of freedom and courage.
Precautions
Consult your doctor and your yoga teacher if you have any pre-existing health or mobility problems.
If you are pregnant, try a specially adapted antenatal yoga class. These will include safe, comfortable positions and are designed to help you prepare for labour and birth.
What to expect from Forrest yoga
Forrest yoga uses breathing exercises and vigorous sequences of asanas to build strength, stamina and flexibility. This is a dynamic and fluid form which is quite acrobatic and dance-like.
Dress for the occasion. This form of yoga is hard work and you can expect to get hot and sweat. Make sure you are not going to over-heat by wearing cool, comfortable clothing and drinking plenty of water.
What is Forrest yoga good for?
Forrest yoga aims to heal and transform the body and mind. This style will appeal to those who want to take on a more challenging yoga to build mental and physical strength.
Afterwards
Ensure you have time to shower and freshen up after a Forrest yoga session.
