Tanesha Forrest

Hello. I am Tanesha Forrest and I am passionate about teaching and practicing yoga. I earned my RYT-200 hour Yoga Alliance certification in 2016 in Little Rock, AR. Three years later, I earned my E-200 certification, teaching 1,000+ hours! Why yoga? Growing up I was an athlete, a pleaser, and a perfectionist. I suffered from stress headaches and frequent running injuries! Once I found yoga, the door to connect my body, breath, and mind opened. I remember leaving my first yoga class and realizing that I had spent a solid hour in the flow, not worrying about anything but moving and breathing. I was hooked! I learned to listen to my body through my practice. The physical asana led me to listen to my head and heart through mindfulness and meditation. Most importantly, I learned to breathe!

I teach vinyasa yoga, power flow, yoga for athletes, yin yoga, and mindfulness. I offer hands-on physical assistance to students to deepen a pose, move into a safer alignment, or just because it feels yummy. Emphasis on intentions, pranayama breath and mindfulness are used to deepen the practice of yoga not only in the studio, but also in your daily life. I love offering modifications, using blocks, and seeing students listen to their bodies and discover! I am truly grateful for the gift of yoga in my life, and I hope to share it with you!
