Posted • Tomorrow marks the second annual National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. This day comes from Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action #80 and is a day to honour and mourn all those who survived and all those who didn’t return home.
Last year, we created this resource for allies on how to meaningfully participate in National Day of Truth and Reconciliation and thought we’d reshare it this year.
To our Indigenous kin, we wish you gentleness, space to process any emotions that may arise and rest as we move through what could be a very triggering day for many. 🧡

Wondering about using our sauna in the summertime?
Even though it's getting warmer out, using a sauna has so many benefits during this season:
🌡️Heat helps relax muscles and also helps you train better. It's a great way to prep and recover the body after all the activity we're doing outdoors.
🌡️ Sauna helps you feel happier. Research has shown that using one has the same effect on your body as other types of exercise that release endorphins.
🌡️It reduces stress. Calm, quiet, and time away from it all means you're creating your own little getaway.
🌡️ Sauna relieves pain naturally, kickstarts your metabolism, and helps with blood circulation. Who doesn't want these benefits at any time of the year?
🌡️ Manage heat better. Acclimatizing to summer can be eased with regular sauna use - and also an option for those who can't tolerate UV rays.
And if you want more, Tony Robbins has plenty to say about sauna too! Book an infrared sauna session through to reap all the benefits now!
