20 minute session
How to Practice
1. Settle onto the bench and allow your body to acclimate to the heat for 1-2 minutes. 2. Using the ladle, scoop a small amount of water (start with 1/4 ladle). 3. Evenly disperse the water onto the heated stones of the sauna stove, avoiding pouring large quantities at once to prevent a scalding burst of steam. 4. As the löyly (steam wave) rises, take slow, deep breaths through your nose. 5. Relax and enjoy the heat for a period of 5-15 minutes, listening to your body. 6. Exit the sauna to cool down before considering another round.
Tips
Start with less water; you can always add more for increased löyly.
Breathe deeply and slowly through your nose to manage the heat sensation.
Pour water evenly across the stones to create a gentle, widespread steam.
Always listen to your body and exit immediately if you feel dizzy, nauseous, or unwell.
