    Who loves to Sauna?!
    Let’s see your home sauna!

    I built one last winter and have grown to really love it! Didn’t use it much over the summer time but now that it’s cold again it’s getting regular use.. I’ll post pics soon

    I figured there would be a sauna thread up already but couldn’t find one…

          I love saunas. I like to meditate in the sauna and when my sutra is done jump into the plunge pool a couple of minutes, hot tub, steam room for another sutra, plunge, sauna, repeat. Very cool you built one.

          Think it, be it.

              @mclaincausey that’s a solid routine. I have a cold plunge out there as well

                                Killer set up!!

                                One thing I love doing is getting uncomfortably warm and then uncomfortably cold, be it what I described previously or doing hot springs into a cold river, hot tub into a snow drift, etc. they say it’s really good for you.

                                One thing I could be better about is finishing with the cold part so that you go out with lower core temperature and greater wakefulness. I usually just finish my routine with a cold shower but really need to work up the gumption to end on a cold plunge and then cold shower.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Beautiful! Well done @Brock I love Sauna a lot. Do it once a week during winter.

                                  God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

                                    This thread is epic! Nice build @Brock Id love to build my own… not exactly in the budget. I love ending my warm shower with a cold minute or two. @mclaincausey that is a solid routine! Your practice is inspiring me to add the elements in like that

                                      @Fadez thanks man. I gotta say, I come out of it with a level of serenity that is difficult for me to otherwise achieve these days with work stresses and a toddler.

                                      Extremely envious of Brock’s setup. I have to go to a club for my fix.

                                      Think it, be it.
