Heat, Heal, Harmony: Elevate Your Wellbeing with Authentic Finnish Sauna Therapy

Wellnify offers to you the most traditional form of Finnish thermal wellness: sauna. In Finland, sauna is not just a tradition; it's a way of life! Sauna culture is deeply ingrained in Finnish society, and experiencing it is a must for any visitor.

The Heart of Finnish Homes:

In Finland, almost every home has a sauna. It's not just a luxury but a necessity, and it's a place for relaxation, socializing, and even business meetings. Saunas are typically made of wood, creating a cozy and warm atmosphere.

Sauna Etiquette:

Before entering the sauna, it's customary to shower thoroughly. You'll find that Finns take their sauna etiquette seriously. It's essential to be respectful and maintain a quiet, tranquil atmosphere inside. The sauna is a place for peaceful contemplation and relaxation.

The Sauna Experience:

As you step into the sauna, you'll feel the intense but dry heat. Finns enjoy the practice of "löyly," which involves throwing water onto the hot sauna stones to create steam. This enhances the feeling of warmth and provides a truly immersive experience.

Sauna by the Water:

Try a "savusauna" or a smoke sauna wit Wellnify. These traditional saunas are heated by burning wood, and the experience is considered by many to be the most authentic. Some are even located by lakes or rivers, allowing you to cool off with a refreshing dip in the water.

Sauna and Socializing:

Sauna is a social activity in Finland. It's common for families, friends, and colleagues to gather in the sauna, share stories, and enjoy each other's company. Some companies even have their own saunas where employees can unwind together.

Sauna Diplomacy:

The term "sauna diplomacy" refers to the informal and relaxed atmosphere of discussions that take place in saunas. It's not uncommon for important decisions and negotiations to happen in this setting, reflecting the significance of sauna culture in Finnish business and politics.

Cool Down and Repeat:

After spending some time in the sauna, it's customary to cool off. This can be done by taking a dip in a lake or the sea, rolling in the snow (during winter), or simply stepping outside to enjoy the fresh air. Many Finns repeat the sauna cycle a few times for the full experience.

So, get ready to embrace the heat, the steam, and the unique social atmosphere that Finnish sauna culture offers. It's not just a bath; it's a holistic experience that will leave you relaxed and rejuvenated, just like the locals!
