Forrest Yoga Advanced Teacher Training Course

Your Instructors:

Since Ana was a teenager, she has had a strong sense of her life’s purpose: to help, teach and ultimately to heal others. Several years ago, Ana had a powerful vision in a sacred ceremony in which she saw herself teaching others how to mend the hoop of the people. The vision helped her realize that the next phase of her life’s purpose was to reach as many people as possible, thus creating the Forrest Yoga Teacher Training Course. Ana feels that by walking the path dictated by our Spirits, we can find true freedom. By walking in truth and beauty, great healing can begin.

The teacher training process is the most effective tool that Ana has developed to mend the hoop of the people. Through this journey you will begin to discover your correct relationship with yourself, others and all forms of life. As a teacher of teachers, Ana is able to guide her trainees on their journey toward freedom and healing, as well as instruct them how to do the same for others. Ana works toward bringing healing and a reintegration of the sacredness of life. She begins by encouraging her students to go beyond what they perceive as their limitations, which leads to greater strength, awareness and sensitivity. She teaches them to listen to their deep inner intelligence, strip away the numbness and helps them connect to their own spirit. Ana helps her students examine where in life they may be holding back from giving or receiving fully. She also encourages them to examine and establish their own ethics and personal boundaries, which are a necessary part of becoming a person of honor and integrity. By the completion of the Forrest Yoga Teacher Training Courses ( the 3 week foundation course and the advanced teacher training course), Ana’s students are ready to begin to help others with this process of connecting, feeling, healing and walking in truth, beauty and freedom.
