Finally learning from our continental cousins in Scandinavia, Germany, Estonia, and elsewhere, sauna culture is growing in the UK.

This is great news, but also means we Brits often don't know quite what to expect from a session, or might be wondering "How Do I Sauna?" 😵‍💫

One of the most common FAQs is: "do I have to get naked?" (short answer: please don't 😅 )

And in terms of what to expect from a session with us...
- during an open sauna session, we greet you and show you where everything is and how it all works.
- There is a changing room with toilet/shower and room to store your clothes and change into swimwear.
- Then you can make your own way into the sauna and let the heat do its magic!
- Sit on your towel (either upper bench for more heat, or lower bench for more cool)
- Immerse yourself in the experience, gently releasing tension, quieting the mind, and beginning your journey into deep physical and emotional relaxation.
- We recommend three 15-minute hot rounds, with optional cold plunge (or gentle pause) in between. But you can leave the sauna and take a break any time you want.
.Notice how different you feel after a session!

And for maximum benefit, come regularly and join our contrast club – 50% off if you sign up this September 🔥

Sauna is more than sweating. There's some fascinating physiology happening under the surface.

When your body heats up, core temperature rises and your cardiovascular system responds. Heart rate increases, blood vessels dilate and blood flow to the skin increases as your body works to regulate temperature.

Heat stress also stimulates heat shock proteins, a family of proteins involved in protecting cells from stress and helping maintain cellular proteins.

Then there's the cold.

Cold exposure produces a very different response, including vasoconstriction and activation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Together, heat and cold provide two very different physiological stressors.

This is one example of hormesis, where a controlled, manageable stressor can trigger adaptive responses in the body ("what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"... although we really don't advocate pushing to quite such extremes 😅 )

But perhaps the most underrated part of sauna isn't molecular biology.

It's the fact that you have to stop.

75 minutes without emails, errands, screens or demands.

**Stimulus. Recovery. Rest. Repeat.**

That's why we're building sauna into a regular routine rather than treating it as an occasional treat.

love the idea of celebrating cheshire!

We're all about Celebrating Cheshire - so if you're in Cheshire - that means You!

We want to celebrate some of the businesses, organisations and events that make Cheshire great on our page in specially made posts and reels. If you'd like a free promo on our page just DM us or leave photos/videos & a brief blurb about what you do and we'll pick some of our favourites to feature and tag the owner in the post. In return, all you need to do is share the post.

Our world is unravelling. It can be overwhelming to find out what is mine to do, how do I create meaningful change – and for those who do find a place to contribute with passion, we so often see burnout. Many young people have such a drive – but this is not a sprint, it is a life long journey.

How do we open ourselves to be held by the earth, while doing what we can to change the course of things? To be co-conspirers with the living world, remembering that we too are nature, and perhaps realising that trying to ‘solve’ everything from our exclusively ‘human’ perspective is exactly what is creating the problems in the first place…

Next month Anna, Bijan, and I will be running another Wild Quest in a Danish forest (with support from Erasmus+ funding), to offer ways into exploring these questions.

If you know anyone aged 18-30 and living in mainland Europe, they could join the adventure for free!
