Shinrin-Yoku (Forest bathing)

Experience the calming and energising effects of spending time in a woodland. This two-hour session will enable you to deepen your engagement with nature. We will walk, gently stretch, explore mindfulness practices and breath techniques as well as having fun!

Forest Bathing comes from the Japanese Shinrin-Yoku which translate as ‘taking in the forest through our senses’. It is not a passive activity but an active engagement connecting or re-connecting with nature.

Katy is a ‘Woodlander’, and a qualified yoga teacher with 20 years experience, Shinrin-Yoku practitioner and Natural Mindfulness guide. Katy owns and manages a small woodland in the Taw valley with her husband and is director of Courage Copse Creatives CIC who use the Arts, in the broadest sense, to connect people to place and nature and their own creativity and well-being.
