Forrest was first introduced to yoga in 1984 by a friend’s mom, and he was intrigued ever after. In 2022 he joined YogaTime studio and began his practice in earnest, including forty hours of yoga teacher training. His curiosity has led him to read Autobiography of a Yogi and the Bhagavad Gita, each of which have been transformative to his understanding of yoga as the union of body, mind and spirit. Beyond the studio, Forrest is or has been a restauranteur, tennis coach, regenerative farmer, and NYT bestselling author.
