Discover the magic of immersing yourself in the stillness of nature, feeling every leaf, every sound, every breath. Embrace the serenity of the present moment and let the forest guide you.

Let go of the rush of everyday life and surrender to the peaceful embrace of the trees. Feel the energy of the earth beneath your feet - this is the essence of Forest Bathing.

“Shinrin Yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses. It is simply being in nature, connecting with it through our sense of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch.” Dr Qing Li

Originating in Japan in the 1980’s, Shinrin Yoku translates as ‘forest bathing’. Over 30 years of research has scientifically proved the health benefits of this practice:

• Lowers stress

• Improves cardiovascular and metabolic health

• Lower blood sugar levels

• Improves concentration and memory

• Lift depression

• Improve energy

• Boost the immune system with an increase in the count of the body’s natural killer (NK) cells.
