Thank you Jo, I feel so cared for and tended to when I do this program with you. Nothing compares to how good I feel after.

I had my tonsils removed in, April 29, 2013

I had my tonsils removed in my early 20's. this helps me release the tension is a way I've never done before...my neck is a really sensitive area...believe me...I breathe into my body...I try to be fluid like water.. My yoga has also become emotional (omg...it's so intense) so learning to really use my breath to heal my body and get those big releases is just taking my practice to another level. I wish Giaim tv had more Forrest yoga...maybe with Ana Forrest

Was nice to experience some new poses that were very effective in release of muscle tension. I have had cervical surgery and low back injuries and this hit all of my problem areas. Great instructor...calming and reminds you to breathe deeply throughout which is usually a challenge for most people. Interested in learning more about Forest yoga now!

I have built up tension as a mother of two small children. This is the perfect naptime treat for myself. I love it, thank you.

Good, but too much talking, February 23, 2013

My first experience with Forrest Yoga. I found the neck releases to be nice, but I had a hard time with so much dialogue from the instructors. It would have been nice to get into a pose without hearing so much about what emotions I was supposed to let go of. If I'm thinking about emotions there is really no way to actually let them go. Some moments of silence would have made this a better experience for me. I'm not sure I'll be doing this one again.

This was a great video! I think it would help to watch ahead of time if you're a beginner. I love how Jo supports releasing and letting go of tension, so helpful.

Really good but not excellent. , February 13, 2013

I really liked this, but it would have been good to review before doing it, as they were somethings I was unfamiliar with. Overall, feel more rejuvenated after doing it.

First Forrest Practice, January 1, 2013

I selected this video as I had a bad headache for three days due to very tight neck, shoulder and back muscles. After practice it reduced it to a dull roar. I'll be doing this one again.

Jo really teaches a solid class here. Forrest is really my favorite way to practice yoga. You get an amazing work out while really keeping in touch with how your body feels. I keep all my tension in my neck and this the ONLY way for me to work it out. Forrest is great because it doesn't have any of the 'show off' elements that drives me crazy with other types of yoga.
Highly recommended for people who are looking for a great workout as well as people recovering from injuries.
