”In Finland we have a deep tradition to pause with the first löyly. Sacred moment, pouring water on the hot rocks. Creating the spirit of the sauna. Löyly.”

The latest episode of Spirit of Sauna podcast is out now!🎙️

In this episode, we explore the theme of control. Many people experience the sauna as a place where they can finally let go, soften, and relearn the art of relaxation.

Yet, both the history of sauna and many of its current practices are deeply shaped by control. Temperature, timing, rituals, and even behavior are often carefully regulated. The sauna is, in many ways, a controlled environment.

Letting go of control can feel unsettling, even frightening. For many Finns, this tension is especially familiar. The desire to release and the habit of holding on often coexist in the same space.

And still, the sauna remains a place of freedom. A place where control begins to loosen its grip, where layers fall away, and something more essential comes into view.

If the sauna truly helps us let go of control, what is left when the layers are gone? Who are we, beneath all that we try to manage?

”How fortunate I am to practice Saunotus.

To facilitate the magic that unfolds when löyly meets the forest, soothing, grounding, and guiding people through both the big and small moments of life.

Providing a chance to experience wholesomeness and connection.”

Our sauna keeper Otto explains nokilöyly, the essential cleansing of the stones before the sauna session begins.

”Nokilöylyt 🖤

Before anyone enters the smoke sauna, the stones are cleansed.

In a smoke sauna, heating leaves behind ash, dust, and soot.
Nokilöylyt is thrown to clear it all away.

This is truly an essential step. Without it, the sauna is not ready.

I usually throw five ladles. It’s my small greeting to the five elements. 🙏🏻”

Our sauna keeper Otto explains how water completes the elements of the smoke sauna. 👌

”Water completes the process. 💧

In a smoke sauna, and in any sauna, water is what finishes the heating.
It cleanses, renews, and brings the stones to life.

In folk tradition, water has been praised as a remedy for everything
and for good reason.

This is where löyly is born.”

In the sauna, there has always been singing. The spell lives on as part of the saunottaja’s work even today.

A song shapes the space and tunes the moment. It may be the most powerful way to step into the steam and let the sauna do its work. 🙏🏻

In this video, Laura and Saara are singing a traditional bathing spell.

Turn the sound on. There is something truly special here!

New episode of the Spirit of Sauna podcast is out! 🎙️

In this episode, we explore a dimension of the sauna that many have forgotten, yet has always been there.

For most, the sauna is a place to relax and rejuvenate. Löyly itself has healing effects, and there are numerous studies to support this. But what happens when plants are brought into the sauna?

We step into a world where herbs, branches, and the gifts of the forest become part of the experience as living elements of the ritual. The scents, textures, and subtle effects of plants open up new layers in the sauna, deepening both the physical and the inner experience.

In many traditions, the forest has always been at the heart of the sauna. Its offerings carry a kind of quiet intelligence, something that can be felt rather than explained. This is knowledge not reserved for specialists. It is something anyone can learn to sense and work with.

What becomes possible when we begin to listen to the plants?

After air, it’s time for fire. 🔥

Saunafellow explains the significance of sourcing the right firewood in the smoke sauna tradition.

Our dear Saunafellow explains the elements of the smoke sauna. It all starts with air. 🌬️

”Air comes first. 🌬️

Before the crackling fire, before the red-hot stones of the kiuas, before the purifying water, there is air.

How it moves, how it feeds the fire, how it carries the heat
this is where a smoke sauna begins. Get this wrong, and nothing else works!

Welcome to the Smoke Sauna Basics series. 🔥”

Something interesting happened in the US. 🇺🇸

A local YMCA banned throwing water on the sauna heater.

In Finland, people reacted quickly. The Brentwood Family YMCA comment section filled up, and even Harvia joined the discussion with practical advice.

The easy conclusion would be this: Americans just don’t understand how sauna works.

But there’s a deeper story behind this, and it’s not entirely flattering for us Finns.

Finns were the ones who originally brought electric sauna heaters to the US. Early models didn’t always handle water very well.

That’s how the habit of sauna without löyly was born. And once a habit takes root, it becomes the norm.

Here’s a Saunafellow’s take on this week’s sauna case.

So what is it, really? Saunafellow explains!
