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. 

Wednesdays 5:30-6:30pm

Fridays 12-1pm

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

In-studio at Midland Yoga Collective (no Zoom option currently)

Core + Restore is a practice of whole core care - optimal breath mechanics, abdominal strength, pelvic floor health, and more - that will prepare your body to feel POWERFUL in everything you do!  This uniquely blended yoga practice includes plenty of breath-integrated Forrest Yoga abdominals and Yoga Tune Up® core exercises, but don't worry, this ain't just crunches for the whole class!

This is a holistic whole-core approach, so we'll work on strength as well as stretching and self-myofascial massage (using the YTU Coregeous® ball and other therapy balls) to restore balance in these regions, which can have a positive ripple effect through your whole body and nervous system!  You'll leave this class feeling strong, supple, and centered.

1st Sunday of the month (before Yoga Nidra) 5:30-6:45pm

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. 

1st Sunday of the month (after MyoYin Yoga) 7-7:45pm

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!
