The practice of forest bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, was developed in Japan in the 1980s as a way for city-dwellers to restore balance to body, mind, and spirit. Research has shown that forests rich in conifers expose walkers to naturally occurring chemicals called phytoncides, which results in reduced blood pressure and cortisol levels, and improved immune function. Explore the forest around Kripalu, and experience the nourishment of your senses and soul with a symphony of engaging outdoor stimulus brilliantly designed to root us in the present moment.
