What is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing, known in Japan as "Shinrin-yoku," is an immersive practice that improves psychophysical well-being through mindful sensory contact with nature. It is not just a simple walk, but a guided experience that activates the five senses to reduce stress and promote a deep connection with the forest environment. The technique of Nordic walking in forest settings enhances this process.
Modern science confirms ancient wisdom: spending time in the forest and woods activates the process of biophilia, our innate bond with nature.
