MORE INFORMATION
  • BODY CONNECTION

    Modern living and forceful training can lead to pain and limited mobility by reinforcing restrictive, unnatural movement patterns. Nature-Based Training prioritises neuro-myofascial training and experiential learning, helping the body's natural interactions with the natural environment and intuitive movement.

  • WELLBEING

    Contact with nature helps increase exercise rates, promote an active lifestyle and restore physical and cognitive stress, resulting in enhanced wellbeing. Nature-Based training focuses on the individual experience, helping to foster sustainable wellbeing and positive body image through a nature-based active lifestyle approach.

  • NATURE CONNECTION

    Reconnecting to nature has a number of benefits, including developing more affinity and appreciation for the environment, and feeling more physically and mentally connected to the world around us. Exposure to biodiverse environments also helps to promote health, and relieve daily stressors to our mind and body.
