Nature & Outdoor Wellness

Decades of field research — from Yoshifumi Miyazaki's forest-bathing studies to the landmark Barton & Pretty meta-analysis on green exercise — show that even brief, intentional time outdoors shifts physiology and cognition in ways no indoor intervention fully replicates. This course translates that evidence into a clear framework: understand why nature works, learn how to dose it, design personal routines, and overcome the barriers that keep most people inside. No special fitness level or equipment is required — only the willingness to step out the door with purpose.
