Forrest Yoga® with Cat Allen

From core to
consciousness.

Two decades of practice, distilled into trainings, retreats and classes that grow your edges — then send you back into the world more awake.

Catherine Allen

Welcome

It is my life’s work to share the transformational teachings of the Forrest Yoga® system with you. We’ll breathe and move together through practices designed to methodically increase your awareness, openness, and strength. You will surpass limits and grow your edges. My greatest desire is for you to practice yoga in a way that inspires you to live with more consciousness and connectedness to yourself and our world.

I look forward to seeing you on the mat.

In their words

She is a brilliant teacher – knowledgeable, disciplined, creative, and kind-hearted.

Catherine provides the best coaching in class I’ve ever received. She makes everything seem clear and achievable…and before you know it she’s pushing you past your ‘wall’ – mental or physical.

Catherine taught me that yoga is not just what you practice on the mat, but off the mat as well…
