After teaching group exercise for almost 30 years, doreen realized after just one weekend yoga training program, the power of yoga. After exploring different styles of yoga, practicing with a variety of teachers, and developing a personal practice, she met Heidi Sormaz at Fresh Yoga. Heidi introduced her to Forrest yoga and inspired her to take the Forrest Foundation Teacher Training Course.

As a former gymnast, gymnastic coach, triathelete, marathon runner, and swimmer, she loved the physical challenge of Forrest Yoga. Beyond the physical challenge, she was fascinated with the emotional and spiritual changes that began to evolve as a result of the Forrest practice. As an educator, she was intrigued and impressed with Ana Forrest’s methodology, attention to detail and respect for the teaching and learning process.

Doreen continues to practice with Heidi Sormaz, Ana Forrest and Jonathan Bowra in hopes of inspiring others as they have inspired her. Forrest Yoga has helped her find her voice, connect with her authentic self, all the while having the most fun she has had in years!
