✨ Gentle Heat Mondays – A Calm Start to Your Week
Start your week with warmth, peace, and presence.
Every other Monday, Sauna Genève opens its doors to Gentle Heat sessions — designed for those new to Finnish sauna or simply looking for a softer, more mindful experience.
Our wood-fired sauna is warmed to a gentle 65–75 °C, allowing you to enjoy the full benefits of the Finnish sauna tradition without overwhelming heat. The rhythm of the löyly (steam) is calm and gradual, giving your body time to adjust while your mind slows down.
Each session begins with a short introduction on sauna relaxation, breathing techniques, and the art of cooling down — after which the space becomes quiet time. No phones, no conversation, just the sound of the fire and gentle steam rising from the stones.
Take this time to let go of the noise of the day, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your own rhythm.
