I have witnessed and understand my capacity to face fear and grow. I run toward the rewards that come only after arduous efforts. I crave the journey to a more honest reflection of who I am.
I teach Yoga because it has healed me in significant and profound ways. I think of it as medicine with wonderful side effects! Forrest Yoga is both compassionate and challenging. I will support you in finding a deeper way to breathe. You'll learn to ride this breath through challenging postures and challenging moments of your daily life. Together, we will find joy as we learn to honestly work our edges. You will amaze yourself as you access the courage, step by step, to try invigorating poses! The focus becoming what you CAN do...building confidence, flexibility and strength.
Summer visited Hong Kong for the Forrest Yoga Advanced teacher training! This training includes chanting, daily meditation, breath work, intensive yoga practice, working with injuries, addressing the needs and challenges of students and learning the principles of class sequencing for the setup and optimal implementation of advanced poses.
"I started doing yoga in an attempt to portray the woman in the picture. You know...the one sitting in the sand, beautiful, and at peace. She represented what it would be like to have everything under control, dedicated to personal growth, healthful living and rewarded by perpetual vacationing.
My first yoga class was at 24 Hour Fitness. I didn't stay for the whole class because I was:
-Bored. We weren't moving fast enough.
-Angry. What I thought would be fluid and easy, felt like trying to swim in the ocean with a full body cast and yet I wasn't really doing anything.
-Annoyed. If I can run seven miles through a forest, then this should be a breeze. Speaking of breeze, why are people breathing like Darth Vader?
This first experience with yoga deeply troubled me. I was supposed to find union of the body, mind and spirit. I was supposed to do it that day...
