This Educator Teaches Her Students the Art of Forest Bathing

Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-Yoku, is a traditional Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in the natural beauty of the forest. Growing up as the daughter of a forester, I have personally experienced the benefits of spending time in the woods. Research studies have also shown that just 10 minutes of mindful forest bathing a day can have numerous positive effects on our health, including improved sleep, boosted immunity, and reduced anxiety. These benefits are especially important for students and teachers who could benefit from stress relief and overall well-being.

Whether your school is surrounded by trees or located in a more urban setting, there are ways to incorporate forest bathing into your daily routine. One simple way is to take your students into the woods for a sensory walk. For younger students, make it fun by encouraging them to use their senses to explore the forest. Older students can engage in more focused activities like sketching their observations or writing poems inspired by nature.

If going into the woods is not feasible, you can still bring the benefits of nature into the classroom. Play nature sounds in the background, add forest-inspired visuals to create a calming atmosphere, and provide tactile experiences like leaf rubbings and sensory bins filled with natural objects. By incorporating nature-themed lessons across subjects, you can deepen students’ connection to the natural world and promote mindfulness in the classroom.

Bringing forest bathing principles into the classroom is not about taking a deep dive into the wilderness. It’s about creating mindful moments that help students and teachers relax and focus. Whether it’s listening to nature sounds, decorating the classroom with tree-themed visuals, or engaging in hands-on nature activities, these small steps can have a big impact on student well-being and learning.

Incorporating forest bathing practices into your classroom can create a peaceful and engaging environment where students can thrive. By fostering a connection to nature and promoting mindfulness, you can help students improve their focus, reduce stress, and enhance their overall well-being. So, whether you’re listening to the sound of rustling leaves or studying tree rings, you’re creating a learning environment where both students and teachers can flourish.
