What is Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku)
How do you practice Shinrin-Yoku?
This Japanese practice, popular worldwide, is a process of relaxation. It is more commonly known as Forest Bathing the simple methods of being quiet and calm in a forest setting. You immerse yourself amongst the trees while breathing deeply the nature around you. It has been found to be very effective to de-stress and boost health and well being in a natural way.
Scientific studies have shown that being immersed in the phytoncides (natural chemical smells) of trees, especially conifers and pines, have lasting benefical effects. Lowered blood pressure, improved immunity, less stress and feeling well being are examples.
We take a 2 hour walk for your introductory time into a pristine location on our Forest Bathing Walk. Afterwards we enjoy a natural calming tea.
We look forward to having you be able to experience Shin-Yoku and make it an ongoing part of your life.…..
