Yoga & FOREST BATHING in the Woods

YOGA & FOREST BATHING in the Woods combines the grounding benefits of yoga with the mindful, restorative practice of Forest Bathing for a deeply rejuvenating experience.

Schedule

09:30 – 10:30 Grounding Woodland Yoga with Alice

10:30 – 11:00 Tea Break with warming herbal tea & delicious vegan treat

11:00 – 12:30 Forest Bathing with Samantha

12:30 – 13:00 Fleeting Fern Tea Ceremony - a new mindful way of making a cup of tea! Whilst you’re sipping up the woodland, enjoy a tea sweet, and embrace this Fleeting Fern way of tea.

You’re welcome to join us for one session, or the half day. Closer to the event we may additionally add an afternoon Sound Bath with Reiki session with the spectacular Charlotte (Soundwaves) if the temperatures are warm enough. You'll be able to add this session onto your booking at a later date.

“Let nature hold you – slow down, breathe deeply, and come home to yourself.”

No previous experience is needed, just come as you are!

This event is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and be gently held by nature, community, and practice.

Spaces are limited.

"You’ll leave feeling nourished – physically, mentally, and emotionally – with a renewed sense of calm and connection."

The Sessions

Grounding Woodland Yoga

A nourishing, slow hatha flow rooted in connection – to your body, your breath, and the natural world around you. Welcoming and supportive for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced yogis.

Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku)

A guided, sensory immersion in nature. Through slowing down and engaging your senses, you deepen your connection to the natural world and yourself.

Studies suggest forest bathing may help to:

• Reduce stress and anxiety

• Support immune function

• Lower blood pressure

• Improve clarity and focus
