Sauna: The Power of Deep Heat with Emma O'Kelly

Written by Emma O'Kelly and photographed by Maija Astikainen. Available now: www.amazon.co....
There is a new wave of sauna culture spreading throughout the UK and beyond. Saunas are being built in unique settings providing tech-free spaces in which to gather, share stories and enjoy nature. The tradition has a rich history, filled with rituals that encourage us to soak up the mental and physical joys of deep heat.
Sauna highlights the benefits the sauna brings to body and mind, its connection to nature, its history and mythology and its compatibility with another great invigorator - cold water swimming.
Accompanied by stunning photography, it honours the old, embraces the new, and plunges headlong into the transformative power of steam.
Emma will present their work in a talk and Q&A for the British Sauna Society, hosted by Secretary and Communications Officer Gabrielle Reason.

Informative video on the sauna. I generally use the sauna 2-3 times each week at the YMCA.
