Join a group or gather a bubble of friends/ family for an experience of authentic healing. Sauna sessions are followed by cold exposure and breath work on a yoga mat to reconnect with your mind, body and soul.
Dr. Monika from Olea Health Naturopathic Clinic will go through the benefits of sauna therapy and Leslie from Wasaga Beach Yoga will guide the group on the mat and maybe get you brave enough to plunge into Georgian bay or a roll in the snow if the season allows!
Bathing oneself in heat for the purposes of purification, cleansing and healing is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years observed in many cultures. Now pair that with a cooling exposure outdoors holding a Yoga pose and working through your breath to set your body back into a parasympathetic state.
The sauna exposure increases the body's core temperature, which induces a thermoregulatory response involving neuroendocrine, cardiovascular and cytoprotective mechanisms that work to restore homeostasis.
The molecular mechanisms involved in heat shock are very exciting including heat shock proteins, transcriptional regulators such as NRF2, and pro and anti-inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and Il-10.
