Those of you who’ve joined our founder Tracy Northampton on a forest therapy experience through Castle Ashby Gardens will understand how healing it can be to immerse yourself in nature through the practice of forest therapy.

In July next year Regan Stacey – founder of The Forest Therapy School – will be hosting a four-day training programme here at The Falcon to teach participants how to become a certified forest therapy guide.

Though this course is open to everyone, it is particularly well-suited to mental health professionals, educators, coaches, yoga instructors and wellness practitioners looking to add a nature-based element to their existing offering.

Today we hosted the annual Yoga Garden Party in aid of The Hope Foundation.

The day was filled with yoga workshops in all four of our studios led by renowned teachers from all over the world.

Our founder Spenny hosted a heritage walk around the estate and Tracy hosted a forest therapy experience through Castle Ashby Gardens.

It was our pleasure to welcome so many passionate yogis to The Falcon, and to host an event for such a meaningful cause.

We'd like to thank every teacher who shared their time and expertise with our community today, and to everyone who joined us for a class, walk or workshop.
