Half-day Forest Bathing and Yoga in Brighton's Woodlands

Discover peace and tranquillity in the beautiful woodlands of Brighton’s nature reserve - Stanmer Park, and experience ‘Shinrin Yoku’ – also known as forest bathing.
A unique antidote to the hustle and bustle of modern life, this method of observing nature and breathwork is proven to reduce stress, improve memory and offer a calm and peaceful clarity.

Your four-hour experience will see you walk through remote parts of the forest with an expert instructor, taking in the sights and sounds of the woodlands and open fields, followed by a beginner-friendly session of feel-good yoga flow and forest bathing. It’s the perfect opportunity to get back to nature, reconnect with yourself, and discover a new hobby.

Good for locals and tourists.

What to expect:

One Garden Brighton

Enjoy wellness and nature in the scenic countryside behind Brighton. We will start the day with a feel-good yoga flow in One Garden, before heading into the surrounding woodlands to experience Shinrin-Yoku or forest bathing. One Garden is Brighton's most beautiful garden, surrounded by the Southdowns Nationalpark, just a 15-minute drive from Brighton centre.
Yoga at One Garden
We will meet at 9:30 AM and start the day with yoga in a cosy studio or on the beautiful lawns. The studio is tucked away, with two bi-folded doors creating an inside-outside atmosphere. Also situated inside the tranquil garden walls is a restaurant, a food market, and a cafe.

Forest bathing?
The term shinrin-yoku means "taking in the forest atmosphere". It is as simple as walking through nature and connecting with what's around you. The practice is proven to reduce stress, improve memory and offer calm and peaceful clarity.

Weather
The weather is mostly fine, and the event is lovely, even with some light rain. The event can easily be adjusted to an indoor/outdoor event as the studio is surrounded by nature, a beautiful garden and the great woods.
