Sauna and relaxation go hand-in-hand. Heat can relax the body, loosen tense muscles and as Alan will attest, the sauna can help quiet the mind.
If overall wellness is your cup of green tea, the practice of mindfulness could be a great addition to a lifestyle promoting mental wellbeing. Mindfulness is about living in the moment, being present, acknowledging and accepting emotions and thoughts without judgment and so much more... are you feeling better just reading about it?
In this episode of Kivia: The Spirit of Sauna, your hosts Alan Jalasjaa and Elissa Lansdell look at enhancing the sauna experience through mindfulness techniques. Joined by accomplished mindfulness instructor Trish Sullivan from Toronto’s Breathe Yoga + Wellness Centre, we will learn more about this ancient practice, and how to incorporate mindfulness into sauna lifestyle.
Could sauna paired with mindfulness be the answer to all of life's stresses? Probably not, but why not give it a try!?!
