If you are anything like me, saunas used to be something I would do on holiday, on a weekend away, as and when there was one available close by. However, over the last 12 months or so, it certainly seems that the health and wellbeing benefits are being more widely acknowledged.
As you may know, we now have a sauna at home and are regular enjoyers of a saunas. We tend to take saunas along with a cold water dip- however, in this post, I'm only going to focus on the benefits of saunas. In a previous post, I've outlined the Finish take on wellbeing. Taking saunas are an integral element to how the Finish maintain a positive wellbeing, in spite of the longer, darker winters. Finland is also regularly featured in top 5 of the happiest places to live. Perhaps they've been onto something for a while and the wider world is slowly catching on.
If you are interested to join one of our yoga / cold water / sauna sessions please do get in touch or see our schedule below.
Saunas offer a wide range of health benefits, both immediate and long-term, which help contribute to a person's overall well-being.
Incorporating sauna sessions into your wellness routine can provide a wide range of health benefits, from physical relaxation and detoxification to improved cardiovascular health and enhanced overall well-being. As individuals, our experiences will be unique; however, you are likely to experience several of the above benefits following a sauna.
If the only benefit was to help improve your sleep, then surely that must be a good thing with all the associated benefits of getting enough sleep.
You can either join a class or we can find a time for a private 121 session. If you'd prefer a private session with a group of friends then we can find a time that works for you.
Each of the sessions are 60 minutes long and includes, Breathwork and yoga for the first 30 minutes followed by 2 rounds of cold water and a a sauna. Each class has a maximum of 6 people.
I've found that offering both yoga + cold water + sauna session have proven popular with a wide range of people. In some cases, people come for the sauna and cold water but then also get to experience the benefits of regular yoga an stretching. Sometimes it can take time to feel the rewards of a regular yoga practice, whilst students immediately experience the benefit of a cold water dip and sauna.
Ultimately, whatever the motivation of a student, the mixed sessions offer multiple ways for an individual to feel 'better'.
