We're joined by Mika, the co-founder and President of the British Sauna Society, to transport us into the world of saunas. Many of us have been to a sauna at a spa, but Mika calls this a "compromised experience".
Hot stone, air ventilation, cold plunge and whacking (!) is a must!
Tune in to hear about the well-being benefits of saunas, the rituals and be inspired by this age old tradition.
