What is Forrest Yoga?

It isn’t yoga in the woods! (Although that would be great if we could guarantee the weather!). Forrest yoga was created by Ana Forrest, a fiercely passionate and inspirational yoga teacher & shamanic medicine woman that I have had the honour of training with & assisting on her international trainings & workshops. It is a practice that is healing, empowering and transformative. I would highly recommend her book ‘Fierce Medicine’ for insight into how she came to create this powerful lineage

In a Forrest yoga class you will be challenged through slow, strong, intelligent sequencing that focusses on core strength and stability, deep breathing, physical & emotional healing and connection to your inner wisdom & spirit.

Forrest yoga is often described as intense, grounding and deeply introspective. It’s suitable for all levels but is particularly beneficial to those seeking a deeper personal connection to them selves and opening a pathway to healing.

Food & drink

Tara and I have been working for almost 10 years at various events and she really puts the ‘treat’ in retreat! Her creative plant based menus are full of flavour and as healthy and nutritious as they are delicious! Expect an abundant self serve buffet style banquet that will make your taste buds more excited about eating plant based than you could have imagined!

There will also be teas & soft drinks available all day long and speciality coffees & other barista drinks available from the cucumber fields pantry.

Getting There

There is ample parking at Cucumber fields and plenty of beautiful country walks nearby that could be enjoyed before or after the retreat.
