Originaire de Finlande il y a plus de 2 000 ans, le sauna a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 un lieu de purification, de relaxation et de communaut\u00e9. Traditionnellement chauff\u00e9s par des po\u00eales \u00e0 bois, les saunas finlandais utilisent des pierres qui lib\u00e8rent du l\u00f6yly<\/em> \u2014 la vague de vapeur qui s'\u00e9l\u00e8ve lorsque l'on y verse de l'eau. Cette vapeur, combin\u00e9e au contraste chaud-froid, rend l'exp\u00e9rience du sauna unique en son genre dans le domaine du bien-\u00eatre. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chez Sauna Gen\u00e8ve (ou Sauna Geneve), nous faisons revivre cet h\u00e9ritage avec un sauna finlandais chauff\u00e9 au bois, associ\u00e9 \u00e0 des rituels d' Aufguss<\/em> d'Europe centrale.
