Forest Bathing – Shinrin – Yoku
Shinrin meaning Forest & Yoku meaning bath is the Japanese translation for bathing in the forest atmosphere.
Forest bathing is the bridge connecting us to the natural world. Allowing us to slow down, leave technology behind & releasing your sense of joy & calm. Forest bathing is for any level of fitness and can be done anywhere there are a large gathering of trees in all types of weather (don’t forget to bring your rain gear). Even a small amount of time in nature can have a positive effect on your health & wellbeing
