Pete Guinosso

I love Pete’s classes. They are challenging, grounding, invigorating and fun all at the same time. Pete has such a sense of joy about him. You can almost hear him thinking, «Really?! I get to teach yoga today? Awesome.» every time he walks into class. I always laugh out loud at least once during his classes and always, always leave feeling lighter and happier than I did when I walked in.

Pete is the real thing: a true yoga practitioner and a natural teacher. As one student working through an injury said to me in class the other day, «Pete takes care of us. Physically and psychologically.»

Pete is nothing short of amazing. I drive clear across town several times a week just to get my fix. His classes are strong and fun with great music. He teaches in the Forrest tradition with the humor and grace of a true urban yogi. Pete is the real deal. He’s down to earth, and also an incredible healer and spiritual teacher. I have had some of my best practices and my most profound break throughs in his class. It’s more than just a fantastic workout (although it IS just that). I don’t know how he does it but he seems to support, acknowledge and assist everyone in his class with loving kindness. I walk away from that practice lighter, energized and full of gratitude and happiness. I am hero to my friends who I’ve brought to that class for the first time. The guy is awesome. Go see for yourself, you won’t regret it. Trust me.

When I began my yoga practice in earnest only a year ago, I tried out a bunch of teachers. When I found Pete’s class, he became the first teacher I wanted to keep coming back to. I usually take Pete’s class three times a week and I love it. I find Pete’s often intense Forrest Yoga style a nice balance to the other classes I go to the rest of the days of the week. Pete is a really compassionate and skillful yoga teacher, he infuses his classes with both humility and humor, making for a nice cocktail, vibewise not to mention the kick-​your-​ass sweaty workout.
