Kevin: Forrest Yoga-Inspired Backbends (67 minutes)
Play Hard

1h 7m
Forrest Yoga is the particular methodology that really made me fall in love with yoga. It takes its name from its creator (Ana Forrest) and offers a very unique approach to the asana practice. When I lived in Boston it was my primary practice and I've continued to study with senior teachers in this method off and on for the past 15 years.
The way in which Forrest Yoga explores backbending is - in my opinion - truly brilliant, and this class is an attempt to marry Forrest Yoga principles with a more familiar vinyasa sequencing style. It builds up to a funky, fun, bound-up backbending pose called Queen Pigeon. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Props for class: One Block and One Blanket. This class includes many poses that are contraindicated for people who are pregnant.
