Forest Community

Join Kripalu faculty, Micah Mortali and Katie Hagel, for an on campus experience of the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership. Grounded in the philosophy that fostering a meaningful connection with nature is an essential part of a healthy and balanced life, this training is an opportunity to develop and deepen your connection to the natural world.

This Level 1 training—which combines an exploration of forest bathing, yoga, Ayurveda, outdoor skills, and an overview of relevant research on nature’s health benefits—is designed to engage yoga teachers, outdoor guides and educators, Ayurvedic practitioners, yoga therapists, and anyone who is passionate about sharing with others the benefits of being in nature.

A connection with nature can be a powerful catalyst for strengthening our—and our clients’ bond with nature—and, in doing so, improve the chances that our communities will steward the natural systems we all depend upon for our health and well-being.
