October 31 + November 1, 2026
A Weekend of Strength, Resilience & Possibility
Three workshops. Two master teachers. One weekend to explore what your practice, and your body, are capable of.
Join longtime Forrest Yoga teachers and best friends Leslie Pearlman and Denise Hopkins for a weekend of strength-building, mobility, backbends, soft-tissue release, arm balances, inversions, and plenty of room to experiment.
In person at Slack Tide Yoga or live on Zoom via Good Ground Yoga.
WHAT IF “I CAN’T DO THAT” WASN’T THE END OF THE CONVERSATION?
there's always another way in.
This weekend is an invitation to get curious about what your body can do with the right preparation, tools, and support.
We’ll explore strength, mobility, stability, and resilience through movement and breath, learning to work with your body rather than against it.
What you learn about your body on the mat can change how you move through the world.
