Forrest Yoga
with Rosalind Southward
Rosalind Southward guides yogis through Forrest Yoga @ Om Yoga Show Manchester 2015 |
Forrest
Yoga was created by the talented Ana Forrest as a way of healing herself
physically and emotionally from trauma. It encourages you to turn inwards, to
locate areas that are troubling you and to revitalize yourself from the inside.
This session hosted techniques for the neck and shoulders with some deep abdominal
work.
Specific
guidance is given by Rosalind to ensure positioning is correct as participants
are moved into defined poses to stretch out there neck muscles and release
tension in their shoulders. Forrest Yoga emphasizes switching off the neck
muscles and each time you lift the head during practice it is gently lifted and
guided by your hand. This technique requires some thought as we rarely turn off
our neck muscles though it soon proves effective as you can see all
participants shoulders have lowered at least an inch compared to the start of
the session and they leave walking taller too as if a weight has been lifted.
When
it comes to abdominals, you work deeply going beyond the visible so called 6
pack to the rediscover the transverse abdominals (TVA). These often overlooked
muscles give pelvic and spinal stability; supporting our trunk and our posture.
