Forrest Yoga is a style of yoga as exercise. It was created by and named for Ana T. Forrest in 1982.[2] It is known for "its long holding of positions, emphasis on abdominal core work, and standing series that can go on for 20 poses on each side".[3] Reputed for its intensity, the style emphasizes connecting to one's feelings in order to work through physical and emotional trauma.[4]
