Case: Saunafulness Lapland Hotels Bulevardi, Helsinki Finland
We have at over 100 saunas in Lapland Hotels Bulevardi, so the sauna is particularly important for us. Our guests choose us often for our saunas. Lapland Hotels chain has over 1,000 saunas and sauna bathing has been one of our company’s most important atmospheric elements already since the 1960’s.
Saunafulness® is Holistic Relaxation
Saunafulness focuses on experiencing a sauna through different senses. Your senses can be trained, and this leads to more multisensory sauna experiences. A key way to create an enriching sauna session is to incorporate different exercises for both mind and body.
The sauna is known, even among Finns, simply as doing and experiencing things related to a sauna, i.e., the steam room, but we all know that there is a lot more to saunas and saunaing than merely spending time in a sauna. Saunas involve preparation tasks and frequent cool-down periods, which are essential—just to name a few. The heart of Saunafulness is truly about the holistic experience: what happens before the sauna, what happens during the sauna and how do you relax after the sauna?
The division of the sauna experience into three different stages, along with cool-down periods, will make you see your own home sauna in a completely new way. Classifying these three sauna stages into their own “parts” gives us, according to the Saunafulness model, countless different ways to achieve wellness adapted to our own circumstances and personal needs.
Saunafulness is suitable for any situation. It’s perfect whether you’re taking a sauna to get pampered, to give your muscles a restorative stretch, or just to get yourself moving, Saunafulness is a great way to spend time with your family or to treat your friends. At its best, Saunafulness will simply be a moment to relax—a mini vacation with no other purpose than relaxation. This is how you achieve wellness by saunaing. Saunafulness is your own sauna ritual that you create to match your own desires.
The essence of Saunafulness is to give anyone who’s interested the tools to attain health benefits from saunas and exercises related to heat therapy. Perhaps even more important, aside from personal wellness, is that Saunafulness could possibly lead to more people taking longer, more frequent saunas with richer experiences, therefore bringing the health benefits of saunas to a larger number of people.
Saunafulness combines sauna, health, wellness, mind and body.
The Finnish sauna has scientifically and experience-proven effects on health and wellness. Finns have been enjoying these health and wellness benefits without thinking too much of them. You can still enjoy saunas just like before, but Saunafulness opens up new opportunities to enjoy the wellness benefits of saunas in new ways.
Saunafulness is Holistic
- Sauna experience: Before the sauna, in the sauna and after the sauna
- Using the senses while saunaing
- Exercises for both mind and body
- Health and wellness effects of saunas
The Core of the Saunafulness Concept:
- Sauna Experience (before, in and after the sauna)
- The multisensory nature of the sauna: the conscious use of senses
- Exercises for body and mind (50 different options in total)
The effects of saunas on health and well-being are divided into three areas as well:
- Relaxation and mental conditioning
- Skin and beauty care
- Body care and recovery
Each of these areas has exercises that can be done before, during or after the sauna. Feel free to choose your daily Saunafulness goal and modify it at any given time to create your own unique experience. The following sections describe options for each step. Every exercise will indicate when it is to be performed, its intended effects, and whether it is easy to implement or if it requires some prior preparation.
In addition, certain stages allow you to choose sensory exercises to enhance your Saunafulness experience.
