What is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing, also known as "Shinrin-yoku," is a Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in the natural environment of a forest. It is not about literal bathing but rather about taking in the atmosphere of the forest through all the senses.
This practice encourages mindfulness and relaxation, helping to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance overall wellbeing by connecting with nature.
Forest Bathing often includes slow, mindful walks through the forest, deep breathing, and quiet observation of the natural surroundings. It's a great way to unplug and rejuvenate, making it an ideal experience for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
What to Expect on This Experience
The day will start with a Yoga session in a cosy studio at One Garden, or outdoors if the weather allows. Activities will adapt to the conditions: on sunny days, participants will enjoy a gentle hike through panoramic fields to a secluded forest spot for a Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing) experience, engaging all their senses with nature. If it’s cold or windy, there will be a longer indoor yoga class followed by a walk through the surrounding woodlands.
One Garden has a lovely restaurant, perfect for lunch after the event!
