Developed in Japan during the 1980s, Forest Bathing or Forest Therapy (“shinrin-yoku” in Japanese) is an immersive experience where you consciously take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest. It’s not about doing anything strenuous or getting your heart rate up — rather, the point is to slow down and fully experience in your own individual way what the forest has to offer.

According to the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs, Forest Therapy offers scientifically documented health benefits, including reduced stress, improved mental clarity, and boosted immune function. Your walk will last from two to two and a half hours. Your guide, Dr. Doug Jones, will stop you every so often along the trail for invitations designed to maximize being present and deepen your connection with nature.

Come as you are. No advance preparation is needed other than arriving ten minutes early for the walk and dressing appropriately for the weather. We will walk rain or shine, except when there is lightning or an extended downpour. The paths are well groomed on rolling terrain.

Tai Chi is known as meditation in motion. Its gently flowing rhythms reflect the patterns of nature. Tai Chi is part of a broad family of health practices called Qigong (“chee gong”) which have been done in China for thousands of years. Millions of people around the world practice Tai Chi and Qigong daily to sustain health, mobility, and vitality. Tai Chi is rooted in the Taoist philosophy of living in harmony with nature. It teaches us to feel the support of the earth beneath our feet and open our hearts and minds to the boundless space surrounding us. We learn to transform stress into serenity, clarity, confidence and joy.

Practicing Tai Chi at the Garden allows us to connect with the beauty and power of the natural world and to feel our place among the trees, birds, clouds, and water lilies. We learn to slow down and listen to ourselves to integrate and enliven body, mind, and spirit. We explore stillness and motion to find balance, resilience, strength, and grace.

Classes are led by Gurney Bolster, MA, founder of Tai Chi for Health Pittsburgh, assisted by Sharif Zyhier. No equipment or experience is needed. Classes are done standing.

Tai Chi is known as meditation in motion. Its gently flowing rhythms reflect the patterns of nature. Tai Chi is part of a broad family of health practices called Qigong (“chee gong”) which have been done in China for thousands of years. Millions of people around the world practice Tai Chi and Qigong daily to sustain health, mobility, and vitality. Tai Chi is rooted in the Taoist philosophy of living in harmony with nature. It teaches us to feel the support of the earth beneath our feet and open our hearts and minds to the boundless space surrounding us. We learn to transform stress into serenity, clarity, confidence and joy.

Practicing Tai Chi at the Garden allows us to connect with the beauty and power of the natural world and to feel our place among the trees, birds, clouds, and water lilies. We learn to slow down and listen to ourselves to integrate and enliven body, mind, and spirit. We explore stillness and motion to find balance, resilience, strength, and grace.

Classes are led by Gurney Bolster, MA, founder of Tai Chi for Health Pittsburgh, assisted by Sharif Zyhier. No equipment or experience is needed. Classes are done standing.
