"I've hand-picked these Mentors for their unique skills. They are incredibly equipped to run this program and have pledged to be Guardians of the Forrest Yoga Legacy and the Hoop of the Teachers. They have committed to shepherding Mentees to become great Forrest Yoga teachers and to making the Mending the Hoop of the People happen. These are big life pledges and I couldn't ask for a deeper loyalty to Forrest Yoga."

Ongoing guidance around teaching Forrest Yoga
A structured, guided process toward Forrest Yoga Certification.

The Forrest Yoga Mentors are hand-picked by Ana Forrest and serve as Guardians of the Hoop of the Teachers to grow and protect the Forrest Yoga legacy. Each Mentor has gone through intense training with Ana to learn the skills required to be a mentor for teachers. Each Mentor brings a unique experience and insight to your continuing education.

You can choose which Mentor you would like to study with.

Our Mentors are located across the country plus one in Korea. Since it is a program requirement to physically attend the four workshops given by your Mentor, we recommend that you choose someone in or near your region. However, the entire list is open to you so long as you can get to your Mentor's workshops.

If a large enough group from the same area wishes to enter the Mentorship program and there is no local Mentor, it may be possible for a Mentor to travel to your location for the four quarterly workshops.
