Forest yoga in Bietigheim: relaxation between fir trees and scented clouds!

Forest yoga in Bietigheim-Bissingen has recently gained a lot of momentum and is attracting more and more people to the Bietigheim Forest. On a crisp Saturday morning in November, nine participants – eight women and one man – gather in the parking lot across from the Christmas Circus to take part in this special type of relaxation. This fills the air with a mix of curiosity and mild excitement as Julia Andrea Land-Schäfer, certified yoga teacher and stress management trainer, leads the group. krzbb.de reports that the event is offered all year round, which makes it particularly attractive.

Forest yoga combines classic yoga with the healing powers of nature. Participants begin the class with meditative walking to direct their focus on themselves and arrive in the here and now. As they walk through the shady paths of the forest, they breathe in the fresh air and, as they exhale, form small clouds of scent in the delicate forest mist. The special atmosphere ensures that the hustle and bustle of everyday life quickly fades into the background. An essential part of this practice includes breathing techniques as well as balance and mindfulness exercises, all of which take place while standing. Stuttgarter Nachrichten emphasizes that the exercises serve to strengthen the participants' resilience and reduce stress.

The power of nature

Did you know that the terpenes in the forest have health-promoting effects? These natural substances can strengthen the immune system and reduce stress levels. Forest yoga is seen not only as a form of exercise, but also as a powerful wellness method based on the principles of Japanese “Shinrin-yoku” (forest bathing). Many participants are currently giving positive feedback and find the lessons a real source of strength, even if some find the cold in winter unpleasant.

With this offer, Bietigheim-Bissingen has created a very special oasis of peace and mindfulness. The participants particularly like that they can come every month to experience the changes in nature up close and leave the stressful everyday life behind them.
