Reid and Michael Forrester share a deep love and passion for the wellness wisdom of the ages and believe that so many of today’s health challenges are related to a disconnection from the body, Nature’s medicines, and Nature's rhythms ... and the related build-up of stress and toxicity in the body. It is their mission to serve and empower those striving toward health, wellness, and wholeness by supporting clients with ancient, time-tested teachings and practices. |
Reid Forrester
As evidenced by her courses of study and practice, Reid Forrester, like her husband Michael, has a strong interest and deep respect for traditional and preventative healing modalities tested across the ages. For Reid, teaching yoga has been a progressive fulfillment of self which will benefit others - it well compliments her professional endeavors and also her personal growth and wellness. A student and practitioner in the field of yoga and wellness since 1999, Reid began teaching Prenatal Yoga at Kashi Atlanta in 2004.
As a massage therapist, Reid has trained with Dr. Rosita Arvigo, a naprapathic doctor who has lived and studied in Belize for more than 35 years and now brings ancient Maya Abdominal Therapy™ healing methods to the U.S. This therapeutic massage training has provided extensive understanding of female reproductive anatomy and highlights the importance of optimal positioning of the uterus and pelvic bowl for fertility and birth.
Reid works with massage clients, teaches yoga, and offers one-on-one sessions in Yoga for Reproductive Health, Prenatal Yoga, and Partner Yoga for Childbirth. Although catering mostly to women who plan to conceive or are pregnant, she has aspirations towards extending her teachings to both men and women with a wide variety of reproductive and digestive challenges. Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old time-tested working medical model, is her newest expansion - and this coming year ushers in her advanced study of this sister science to yoga. It is through these studies that she hopes to further empower each client and yoga student to find their own balance between strength and flexibility, through cleansing the body and re-aligning with nature’s rhythms.
Reid is a yoga instructor and a licensed massage therapist who specializes in Ayurvedic Massage, Pregnancy Massage and Maya Abdominal Therapy. Her office is located at Kashi Atlanta.
