Qigong and Forest Bathing
When: Contact Denise to schedule your private one-on-one or group session
Where: O’Hair Park in Novato, CA. Meet at "City of Novato O'Hair Park" sign.
Forest Bathing is the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, which means: “taking in the medicine of the forest”. In Japanese, “shinrin” means forest and “yoku” means bath, or immersing oneself in the forest and soaking in the atmosphere through the senses.
Research shows that people who practice Forest Bathing experience relief from anxiety and depression, a deeper sense of mental relaxation, better sleep, and an increased feeling of gratitude and an overall sense of well-being. Forest Bathing also lowers blood pressure and heart rate, and it strengthens the immune system.
I have taught Medical Qigong and walking meditation in Marin since 2006. I began exploring Forest Bathing several years ago and have been guiding people in this practice incorporating walking meditation and Qigong in nature.
The healing benefits of these practices are immense and I am excited to share my love of nature and healing with you.
Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
We will enjoy forest bathing in the woods as we walk a gentle path along the water to a special spot for Qigong.
Directions to O’Hair Park: O'Hair Park is located on the far west side of Novato at 885 Sutro Avenue, just past the intersection with Novato Boulevard.
