Preceded by yoga you get an opportunity to bury your feet into the soft supportive earth gently holding you. You tune into your yoga alignment which promotes ease of movement and good posture. You can wake up the senses and tune into the subtle sensations of the inner body, the sensations associated with connecting and relaxing. Wide awake, fully aware, relaxed and curious you begin your forest bathing immersion.

Following the experience you get to reconnect with your yoga. Standing tall and with dignity, like the trees, you get to reflect and allow the experience to soak in. Noticing what calls to your attention with a calm, open mind, you open up new, fresh thought patterns and patterns of behaviour. Observing with calmness and compassion, your mindfulness practice soaks in and spreads from there far beyond the experience, into the rest of your life, filtering out to those around you.

I will be guiding you through gratitude and present-moment-awareness practices, while guiding you safely through (fun) yoga poses that express joy in our bodies for the month of July.

If you are showing up regularly on your mat you are going deeper! Like the stream, there is no hurry. The path to your greater happiness and freedom is always waiting there for you, always ready to welcome you. The important part is that you show yourself compassion when it’s not going well, and you forgive yourself, and you step back onto the course anew each time.
