review 1: I'm at a crossroads here: I mostly enjoyed this book, and I thought it had some great insights. I also think that Forrest showed a lot of bravery in sharing her story, especially the parts that are less than flattering. There as a lot of stuff about Spirit Magic and the like, but that's common in many yoga books.What was really difficult for me was that the entire time I was reading it, I couldn't shake my previous experience with Forrest. I went to the Yoga Journal Conference 2013 in Florida, and took her session. I had no idea who she was or what her system was about, but the description looked interesting to me. I thought she was a tool, and I felt she talked down to the students. I was uncomfortable enough to send negative feedback specifically about her & her se... moression to the conference organizers in my evaluation. It was a little hard to reconcile how the woman who wrote the book and the woman I saw in Fort Lauderdale were the same person. I kinda wish I hadn't met her. Maybe hers is a style that you just need to have complete buy in to appreciate.
review 2: I don't know much about forrest yoga as a type of yoga (although i am crazy for yoga in general) - I'm assuming it's more of an american than a uk thing....I found this interesting and I liked the combination of memoir and yoga poses. I really enjoyed the first half and then found it got a bit repetitive and could have done with a bit of editing. there's lots of good stuff going on here but it gets lost a bit....Ana Forrest has had a tough time and sometimes this made me feel a bit anxious and I was glad when I'd finished this book. Fierce tho is the right word for this - Ana does come across as a bit fierce, edgy and challenging... but in a good way I think. less

Interesting if not a bit "out there." However, it helped me to understand Forrest yoga.
