Ignite Your Spirit – Forrest Yoga Workshop

In this workshop we will work to create aliveness and connection in the physical, energetic and emotional body by using a dynamic sequence of pranayama, core work, inversions and standing poses.

We will explore strength, energy and integrity in our practice, using the breath as a way to unravel habitual tensions in the hips, neck and shoulders, shed layers of fear, and create more feeling in areas of ‘numbness’. Through this process you will be offered the tools to take a more active role in shifting the way you feel by exploring what delights and brightens you in your practice and in your daily life.

Forrest yoga is a dynamic practice built on the pillars of breath, strength, integrity and spirit. The unique sequencing in forrest yoga is brilliant for building strength, stability and flexibility, with a strong focus on breath, generating energy in the core, and unwinding the neck, shoulders and hips. Poses are held longer to give the physical body an opportunity to release on a physical, energetic and emotional level. The forrest yoga practice is very effective for creating healing around injuries and is suitable for all levels. Modifications will be offered

testimonials:
“kristi is the teacher who inspired me to take my practice from amateur to practitioner. Her clear dialogue and description of the physical asanas led me to feel the poses in a way I had not before and to find softness within the strong practice. She always brings humor and a lightness to her classes.” jennifer kentrup.

“kristi’s sequencing is interesting, daring, fun and always challenging the body, it also opens the heart and lifts the spirit. Her energy is beautiful and strong. She invites her students to stay present and to breathe. Her hands on adjustments help to create a very personal connection in her classes. Through her classes I have learnt to do my best, be in the moment and to be kind to myself without any judgement or criticism. After each practice I would come away feeling a little lighter and stronger.” winnie young.
