This video is quite informative but in my opinion overlooks few thing. I'm finnish architectstudent and have designed planty of saunas. Here is something that came to mind when watching the video: The ceiling height of a sauna is usually 2200-2500 millimeters. The height between the seating level and the interior ceiling is 1050-1300 millimeters. Traditionally, the height of the sauna and the vertical dimensions of the benches are determined by the height of the sauna heater's stone surface, as the goal is for the person sitting on the bench to be higher than the sauna stones, including their feet. The heater can also be placed higher than the level intended for feet, in which case the seating surface must be wide enough to allow the feet to be lifted up, or a separate railing can be built in the sauna on which the feet can rest. An oversized heater in terms of heating power can help keep a relatively small space warm even below the level of the stones, but in this situation, the feet cannot enjoy the steam. A common issue with Finnish saunas is that Finns have many different opinions on what makes a good sauna and good steam. The most important aspect of a sauna is the quality of the steam, which can be influenced by the size of the heater, air circulation, and the shape of the sauna room. Saunas are often also used for cleansing, so a good sauna should also have washing and dressing facilities. I am no means master builder nor designer with great experiense. Message that I want to deliver is that there is many ways to build and use saunas and it is form of art.
@coachpyry15 күн бұрын
I love your message. I think that tent saunas are a perfect example of how simple but effective saunas can be. Regarding the “feet at rock level”, I agree that this is ideal, however you basically need a building as tall as a cathedral, which is not the case even in most saunas in Finland. The löyly here in Far North Queensland is excellent due to the humidity of the tropics especially during the wet season. Thanks for your message!

Did you watch the video? :) The ventilation is excellent, there is a gap between the floor and the walls surrounding the entire building. Secondly, "in a good sauna, the lower benches should be at the same level as the stones of the sauna" might work if you have a room the height of a cathedral. Having been in dozens of great saunas in Finland, more often than not, this is not the case.

If you want to go with Finnish sauna. You should have air inlet below heater and outlet opposite side of sauna on wall quite high up.. When sauna is heating fresh cold air rises from inlet and spreads around sauna! Also if it's wooden heater it needs fresh air also, so it won't suck air that you are breathing.. You can have adjustable cover over outlet, but probably should not close it all the way.. As fresh air flow it really important for good sauna experience! When you throw Löyly, always some water seeps through heater to floor. So it's recommended to have a floor drain. Also you should clean "lauteet" the wooden platform you sit on, quite often. Depending how often you use sauna (weekly to monthly). Best practice would be to spray water over them after every use, as sauna is still warm they will dry quite fast. There are product made for cleaning saunas, as they don't use harmful chemicals which later evaporates into the breathing. As for spray water over "lauteet", it's mainly to wash out sweat which will make them last longer.
@Xydroos2 ай бұрын
As for actual use of sauna, stay in as long as it feels good, then go outside to cool down. For us Finns it's quite common to go back and fort between sauna and lake to swim (summer or frozen hole in lake or sea). If there is no lake/sea near by just sit outside and cool down and then go back in. Some of us like to drink water while inside and outside of sauna, as it will make you last longer (quite recommended). Quite often that water is beer, especially when sauna:ing with a group of friends. Some might say it's not recommended drink beer while using sauna. IF it would be catastrophically bad, Finns would have gone extinct, as common it is.
@coachpyry2 ай бұрын
Actually we have an air inlet all over the sauna because there is a 2cm gap between the wall and the floors. There is also an outlet on the opposite corner from the heater. This works amazingly well here in the tropics, where the temperatures rarely go below 15 degrees celsius. The tropical humidity makes the löyly incredibly pleasant

Can someone explain something to me? How do you know if you’re mewing? To me my tongue feels like it’s touching the roof of my mouth at all times anyway? But it’s not actively pressing against it, it just naturally sits there, is this mewing? Or does it need to be putting active force into the roof of my mouth, as opposed to just touching? Another thing, if I do actively press my tongue into the roof of my mouth, I see absolutely no difference in face shape, so really not sure what’s going on. Lots of questions.
@coachpyry2 ай бұрын
Great questions! 1. Mewing is nothing but holding your tongue in it's optimal resting posture. 2. It's not a push. It's carpeting the entire surface of the roof of the mouth with suction. 3. If you are an adult you will experience minimal changes in your aesthetics with better tongue posture if your tongue posture was already good. However, if your tongue posture is bad, your jaw definition will improve instantaneously when you figure out how to elevate the posterior third of your tongue. Do you think you can do that?

My friend, why suck down gels and preload carbs when you have 200k+ calories on your body as fat. Get mitochondrially fat adapted with carnivore and atop worrying about hitting a wall. - Another sauna loving Fin in AU.
@coachpyry2 ай бұрын
I agree that metabolic flexibility is super important. However, your ability to use fat for fuel depends more on your aerobic fitness, and yes, mitochondrial health, size and density is a key players in this. Here is how it works: You will produce energy mostly aerobically from fat with the presence of oxygen during low-intensity exercise. However, once you cross your aerobic threshold during exercise, your body will start relying more and more on anerobic metabolism to produce energy, which relies on glucose for fuel. At that point, you have two options: 1. Consume carb gels and keep performing at a high level. 2. Don't consume carb gels. Instead, allow your body to break down muscle tissue and convert it to glucose via gluconeogenesis, which is highly ineffective. You will feel like shit, and your performance will tank. I'm interested in getting better at trail running, so I choose the first option. Sauna-loving Finn in Australia! We're a rare breed! Whereabouts do you live?
