Building the Warrior Heart

Ana Forrest & Jose Calarco

Join Ana Forrest and Jose Calarco for a deep dive workshop on opening up and healing. With Forrest Yoga’s heart-opening asanas, you learn to breathe in a way that opens your core and gives the heart the support and counsel of the rest of the primary charkas. Learn to remove the emotional shielding from your heart so it can truly and honestly feel each new experience afresh. This helps your heart and Spirit be more resilient, flexible, and adept at surfing emotional waves. Begin building skill in accessing, cleansing, and resolving emotional issues and moving them out of the cell tissue, thus freeing your heart. This makes room for seeing and absorbing the beauty and sweetness in our world, which nourishes the heart.

This workshop begins with a short, yet very special Ceremony of song, invocation & smoke blessing. Ana Forrest and Medicine Man, Jose Calarco set the intent for the practice and honor the ancestors and custodians of our sacred land.

  • Morning practice: Ceremony, Smoke Blessing, and Intention Setting
  • Lunch break (food sold separately)
