The Unique Culture of the Finnish Sauna

Finland is known as the sauna capital of the world, and the Finnish sauna experience is heightened to another level that is more like an art form than a general pastime. The way that the Fins look at the Finnish sauna is kind of like the way that other cultures look at meditation, massage or other forms of personal relaxation for the mind, body and spirit. You don’t have to be from Finland to enjoy a Finnish sauna, though. You can enjoy one in a gym, spa, health club, or even from the comfort of home right here in the United States. Tweet
