In a world buzzing with technology and urban living, the call to reconnect with nature grows louder each day.
As we navigate through the complexities of modern life, finding solace in the tranquillity of the outdoors becomes essential for our overall wellbeing.
At Yoga Borne, we recognise the profound benefits that nature bestows upon us, and we are committed to integrating its healing essence into our practices and community events.
After all, we are passionate about our pillars of compassion, connection, and community; it’s who we are.
The benefits of nature for wellbeing are supported by a wealth of scientific evidence, highlighting the profound impact that spending time outdoors has on our mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.
Research conducted by the University of Exeter Medical School revealed that just two hours of outdoor time per week is associated with a significant increase in overall health and wellbeing.
Nature provides a sanctuary from the stresses of modern life, offering a respite for our overstimulated minds and weary souls. The natural environment stimulates our senses.
Particularly around this time of year, you can step outside and hear birds tweeting to one another, and growing leaves rustling, feel the sun shining down or the gentle patter of rain as we get caught in the April showers.
Engaging with nature promotes mindfulness, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment and cultivate a deep connection with our surroundings.
Moreover, exposure to natural light boosts our mood and regulates our circadian rhythm, leading to better sleep quality and increased energy levels.
By prioritising time outdoors, we can harness the healing power of nature to nurture our bodies, soothe our minds, and rejuvenate our spirits.
With that in mind, Yoga Borne has a number of April nature based offerings, beginning with Earth Day Yoga.
As we celebrate the beauty and abundance of our planet, we invite you to join us for a special
outdoor Yoga session in Cotteridge Park, Birmingham.
Led by our studio owner, Karine, this 45-minute beginner-friendly practice will immerse you in the serenity of nature, allowing you to connect deeply with your body, mind, and surroundings. Following the practice, you’ll have the opportunity to unwind and socialise down at ‘The Shed’ with a cup of tea, fostering a further sense of connection and community.

Our commitment to nature and wellbeing extends beyond Earth Day.
