Forest Bathing, Wildlife Bathing, Woodland Bathing

New movement and it’s called Wildlife Bathing. Similar to Forest Bathing, but instead, think animals! Watch the vlog to find out more 🙂

Shinrin-yoku is a Japanese term that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing.” Now imagine sitting in a forest, woodland or any natural habitat and “taking in the local wildlife by spotting, imagining and absorbing the life they live” or “wildlife bathing”.
