Forrest Yoga (named for its creator Ana Forrest) is a strong yet slower-paced practice, which gives you time in each posture to dive deeper into feeling the nuance and subtleties of your inner landscape. This modern style of practice is a unique and powerful way to get to know yourself in mind, body, and spirit.  

Throughout the fun and empowering experience of Forrest Yoga, you can expect to be challenged both physically and mentally, improve your strength and flexibility, connect to your core with abdominal exercises, take radically deep breaths, and most importantly to FEEL as you create more space in your body and your mind.  

The Forrest Yoga Basics class (currently on hiatus, but available on-demand) is beginner-friendly and uncomplicated, perfect for those who are new to yoga, unfamiliar with Forrest Yoga, or anyone who wants a simple yet satisfying practice. The Hot Forrest Yoga class is heated to 80-85° and is also more spicy, so some yoga experience may be helpful.

Yoga Remix (Formerly known as Forrest-inspired Flow. Same practice, new name!) is not your typical yoga class; it's an unconventional blend of Forrest Yoga and Yoga Tune Up® methodology. Some postures and movements will feel familiar, but you'll also move in plenty of out-of-the-box ways too - making this a fun and embodied exploratory experience!    Expect an emphasis on strength and functional mobility, spicy challenges, breath awareness, and deep dives into feeling your internal landscape both physically and mentally. The pace of the class will vary; you’ll hold some poses for an extended time, while at other times you’ll move more dynamically by linking breath with movement. You'll also get to play with lots of yoga toys in novel ways, and class usually includes a bit of rolling with therapy balls for self-myofascial massage. This yoga practice is the perfect way to re-calibrate both your mind and body, and add a little fun to your day. 

Fridays 10:30-11:30am

MyoYin Yoga classes blend the practices of yin yoga stillness with soothing self-myofascial massage.  Consider it the more chilled-out cousin of my Roll & Release classes.  The combination of these two modalities is intended to help increase flexibility, reduce muscle tension, release sticky and stuck fascia, and help you feel overall more relaxed and at ease in both body and mind.  

In this class, expect to learn techniques for self-myofascial release using Yoga Tune Up®  therapy balls both independently and in combination with yin postures, which are poses held passively with little to no effort or movement for between 1-5 minutes each. 

Thursdays 12-12:30pm

Online on Zoom 

A shorter 30 minute mid-day practice, this is perfect for adding a movement break to your lunch hour, right from your office or living room!  The practice will be a mixture of yoga, mobility work, and therapy ball self-massage, with the simple intention of getting your body moving.  The pace varies from week to week.  You will leave your mat feeling less stiff in your body, more refreshed in your mind, and recharged in your spirit - ready to face the rest of your day.

This class is held online only via Zoom and pricing is donation-based ($5 requested minimum; or use your class pass).  

1st Sunday of the month 7-7:45pm

hybrid online/in-studio at Midland Yoga Co-op or Zoom  

The deeply rejuvenating and meditative practice of Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation of yogic 'sleep' that will quiet your mind and relax your body, right down to your innermost center. This practice requires no movement, only that you follow with your awareness as you are led through the layers of your subconsciousness. There, in the fertile ground of your relaxed and receptive psyche, you will plant the seed of your chosen personal intention (Sankalpa) that will continue to be nourished once you re-awaken into full consciousness - feeling fully refreshed and renewed.   

Expect to be guided verbally through a combination of progressive relaxation, breath awareness, body scan, and/or imaginative visualization journeys.  No meditation experience is necessary!

The goal of Roll & Release is to use a combination of yoga and myofascial release techniques to improve mobility, increase flexibility, ease tension, and release "muscle knots" (it's really your fascia!) throughout your whole body. In this class, you will learn how to utilize targeted Roll Model Method® self-myofascial massage on common tension-holding "hot spots" using Yoga Tune Up® therapy balls, as well as active and passive stretching methods, to improve the functionality and health of your muscles and connective tissues.  

This class is suitable for everyone, no matter what your experience level is or what usual movement and exercise practices you do. Be ready to learn more about your body and to learn self-soothing techniques you can use on your own when you need them most. Once you try this self-care practice, you will quickly notice a huge difference: better performance of your muscles, more ease in your movements, fewer aches and pains in your body, and reduced stress in your mind!
