Testimonies

The Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher training was one of the most treasured experiences of my life. 

I connected to a healing place in my body that I now know how to return to. The Forrest Yoga training has opened new doors of understanding to the world of healing, from diet to understanding the spiritual/invisible makeup of our lives. 

I can’t say enough – if you want to get in your body, and get to know your mind, get yourself to the training. Spend time with Ana and Jose, sing songs, make new friends, move your body and breathe.

Umnia Khan
The Forrest Yoga Teacher Training is like no other. This intensive course has transformed my life. Over 26 days, I absorbed so much valuable information directly from Ana Forrest and Jose Calarco which I will treasure forever. I learned to teach and speak fearlessly by delving into the root of my being. 

The honesty and integrity of the Forrest Yoga community truly sets it apart.

Marcelina Kllupiec
Forrest Yoga teacher training was a life changing experience for me. I found this training to be the most valuable training I have ever done and one that I will cherish and continue to apply all that I have learnt. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be a yoga teacher or just deepen their yoga practice. Much more than I expected and I am forever grateful for this experience. Thank you Ana, Jose and all the guardians.
Teacher Trainee
The online Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher Training has been a wild ride on a rollercoaster. The morning classes were like high slope climbs where we could explore our bodies, experiment deeply with the good effects of the Forrest Yoga practice, charging energies and clearing our emotions. The afternoon classes were the fun fast exciting descents practicing teaching, working on hands-on adjustments and learning how to connect to others. We joined on-line from the four corners of the earth, we never met in person, and despite this we built a family. The 26 days of training have passed in the blink of an eye, and my heart’s still pounding with joy.
