Wellness Series

We all know how good being in nature can make us feel. The sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees, the sunlight warming our skin, the fresh, clean air – these things give us a sense of comfort. They ease stress and worry, help us relax, and to think more clearly. Being in nature can restore our mood, give us back our energy and vitality, refresh and rejuvenate us. Join us as we meander through the forest surrounding the Crowsnest Pass and follow up our hike with a short yoga session.
