After a decade and a half of practicing meditation and four years of daily tai chi practice, Forrest is still amazed by the calming yet energizing power of mindfulness exercises. He completed all three levels of the Yang Family Short Form of tai chi at the Gainesville Tai Chi Center in Gainesville, Florida. Meditation and tai chi have had a transformative effect on his life, and he is deeply grateful to be able to share this experience with others.
For many years he has woven together his personal practice of meditation, tai chi, and qi gong with his work with children and adults. In his eight years as an educator, Forrest has worked at a variety of settings such as schools, retirement communities, and a farm. Forrest is very passionate about sharing how mindfulness practices can enhance our daily lives, reduce stress, and improve overall health. Forrest loves nature, music, books, and spending time with his wife and their dog.
