Summary

As the creator of Forrest Yoga, Ana T. Forrest has been transforming people's lives throughout the world for more than 35 years. Her unique blend of physical practice, Eastern wisdom, and profound Native American ceremony takes her teachings literally off the mat and into daily life - to heal everything from addictive behaviors and eating disorders to chronic pain and injury. In Fierce Medicine, Forrest tells her own story of healing from the scars of abuse and physical handicaps, and reveals the proven practices that enabled her to move beyond her past into a life committed to helping others reconnect with their bodies, cultivate balance, and start living in harmony with their Spirits.

In her unique, powerful, and inviting voice, Ana Forrest reveals how to:

  • Learn to stalk fear and break free from it instead of running from it.
  • Be attentive to your body, discovering its own inherent healing properties.
  • Speak and act from a place of honesty and compassion.
  • Cultivate an open heart that is feeling, responsive, and reflexive and able to embrace change.
  • Harness your intuition and the courage to live in alignment with your Spirit.

Whether you've never done yoga or are a seasoned practitioner, Ana Forrest's practices, stories, and exercises will help you uncover your own warrior's heart. With this wise woman as your trusted guide, you, too, can become centered, strong, and more alive than ever before.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Surprised and delighted

I’m a yoga teacher and I’m booked on an Ana Forrest workshop in a few weeks so I thought I better do some research as our styles are polar opposite to each other. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but it has invigorated and inspired me to continue to follow and teach my path my style of Zen yoga, as a teacher I have a mixture of beliefs and faith I don’t fully subscribe to any one school of yoga and I’m ok with that I’m authentic to me but it’s awesome to know that I’m not the only one in this situation. Great book great narration eye opening and honest which is refreshing.
Namaste

Powerful experience transmitted through Ana

Where does Fierce Medicine rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

A quality experience. Ana's voice is both compelling and impacting.

What does Ana T. Forrest bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Hearing the story of Ana's life and the evolution of her yoga journey and career is made profound by her embodiment. Her accompanying PDF's and audio instructions for postural, breath and meditation practice enrich the experience further allowing you to really engage the content and invite your own transformation, should you wish.

Any additional comments?

A content warning might be appropriate. Whilst I had heard that there is a rich and deep history to Ana's life's work, although I was willing, I was unprepared for the extent of traumas explored.

Yes I would and I will. This is such a captivating story read by such a strong person. Ana's life was not easy but she become one of the most inspiring people I come across regardless her past. I have just ordered the book version straight after listening to it. Truly Beautiful.

Death Meditation.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

You cannot put it down :) I have listened to it whenever I could. Looking for excuses to go for a walk in the woods on the lunch break.

Or as a woman you just do not want to be stuck forever in your damaging behaviors and you feel the strong need to move your life towards your better self . This will be one of the best things which can help you to do it. It will change you and it will help you.

Every woman must read or listen to this book

I love Ana’s no nonsense straight talking manner and found a lot of practical tips and exercises to really help us to grow beyond our current perceived limitations.
I honestly believe that every woman should read this book and use the advice to live free of fear and free of ones traumatic past.

Eye-opening

I loved the story as a thread and base for giving advice to the reader. This helped me work through a lot of my own issues and I'm left feeling lighter and more free in body and spirit.

Inspiring!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Really great book full of practical advice. Unusual combination of details of Ana Forrest's personal life journey and guided yoga and meditation practices. My mistake was trying to listen whilst driving. A good listen for the autobiographical parts but not so great for the yoga, which i did want to try! A powerful 'Death meditation' which was more uplifting than you'd think! Well worth a listen, with an open heart.
