What Can I Expect
Discover yoga and forest bathing in Brighton! The gentle practice of yoga combined with the sensory delights of bathing in the atmosphere of the forest, this is your invitation to join Xenia for a full day retreat or a taster experience.
The taster experience takes place at One Garden just outside Brighton. This beautifully restored walled garden is a gorgeous place where everyone is welcome. There’s also the One Kitchen, where you can buy a yummy lunch too.
You’ll start with a yoga session (suitable for all levels) either in the studio at One Garden, or outside. You’ll then take a stroll up to Stanmer Park adjacent to One Garden for your forest bathing.
Shinrin Yoku in Japanese, forest bathing is all about sensory engagement with your woodland surroundings. The forest is a place of tranquillity and reflection, brought about by your connection (or reconnection) with nature, be it anything from listening to the leaves rustle in the wind, to lying back and watching the clouds move.
The full day retreat takes place at Stonerocks Farm, near Bolney. This family-owned estate focuses on safeguarding the natural beauty and biodiversity of the area. It’s the perfect place just 11 miles north of Brighton for a whole day of holistic fun.
The retreat day programme includes yoga, forest bathing in the ancient woodlands and maybe some foraging too. The cosy firepit is used to gather together and enjoy some homemade snacks and drinks for a convivial start and end of your day.
Both the taster and full day yoga and forest bathing experiences near Brighton are suitable for beginners and are a superb way to feel at one with nature, far away from the light and noise pollution of city life!
