Ms. Forte has been teaching yoga for 10+ years and currently holds a lead yoga teacher position at a local studio. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2013 and her 500-hour yoga teacher training in 2021. She has also enrolled in a second 500-hour program to gain more knowledge about yoga practice, which she will complete in 2023. Ms. Forte also leads Yoga Alliance Certified teacher trainings, as well as regular immersions, workshops, retreats and guest lecture series.

Ms. Forte’s yoga classes focus on connecting movement with breath, body and mind, and she hopes to give students the space to find their own inspiration during their practice, leaving them rejuvenated and wanting to return to yoga. Her classes encourage personal examination, and her love for the practice of yoga shines through in her ability to teach with a concrete yet creative voice. As an educator, she is inspired by all of her students and loves to watch people grow, both on and off their mats.
