About this Event
Join us for a rejuvenating 2-hour class that harmoniously blends the calming practices of slow flow yoga with the serene art of forest bathing. This unique experience is designed to deepen your connection with nature while nurturing your body and mind.
**What is Forest Bathing?**
Originating from Japan's practice of "Shinrin-yoku," forest bathing is the act of immersing yourself in the natural environment, fully engaging your senses to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest. It’s not a hike or exercise, but rather a mindful exploration of the natural world around you. Research has shown that forest bathing can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and boost your immune system. It’s a meditative experience that helps you feel more grounded, relaxed, and in tune with your surroundings.
**Slow Flow Yoga**
Our slow flow yoga session is a gentle yet powerful practice that encourages deep, mindful movement paired with breath. This style of yoga is accessible to all levels and focuses on fluid transitions between postures, allowing you to build strength, flexibility, and inner peace at your own pace. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this class will help you cultivate balance and calm.
**What to Bring:**
- A yoga mat
- Comfortable clothing suitable for movement and weather
- A blanket or towel (optional, for added comfort during seated poses)
- A reusable water bottle
- Sunscreen and insect repellent (if desired)
- An open heart and mind, ready to connect with nature
This class is perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with the healing power of nature. No prior yoga experience is necessary. Come as you are, and leave feeling refreshed, centered, and at peace.
