Forrest Yoga Immersion with Tom Barber


  • Vale de Moses Amieira Portugal (map)

Retreat details

Breath // Integrity // Strength // Spirit

This retreat is open to everyone! All ages, sizes, and levels of yoga experience. You are all welcome here!

During our week together I will introduce you to the power of Forrest Yoga, a healing, empowering, intuitive and strengthening practice developed over the past 45 years by Ana Forrest.

With 2 daily yoga practices, ceremony, chanting, walks in nature, healing treatments, nourishing food, and peaceful nights, expect to leave feeling rested and rejuvenated.

We will take our time to get familiar with the basics and foundations of Forrest Yoga. My intention is to build up your confidence and familiarity with the practice as the week goes on. Everyone can practice at a pace that suits them. I’ll give plenty of pose options and variations so you can get the most from your practice.

Forrest Yoga is similar in many ways to Jivamukti, Power Yoga, Vinyasa Flow etc. But also many of the poses and sequences are unique to Forrest Yoga. This is a healing and strengthening practice, with a huge emphasis on breath.

I have loved being part of the Forrest Yoga community for the past few years. And I find that many students embrace Forrest Yoga very quickly. It’s challenging, fun, playful and intuitive. You’ll feel stronger, calmer, rested, and energised!

If you would like to try Forrest Yoga with me before the retreat, I often teach online Zoom classes. Check the website and sign up to my newsletter for more info.

I hope to meet you in Portugal!
