You may think that time at the sauna warms you up, but actually, sometimes the heat doesn’t reach the body’s core.

Today, we want you to focus on your “core temperature” – that of your organs and the inner reaches of your body.

Gently raising your core temperature improves blood circulation, waking the body up in its truest sense.

That’s why you should take it slow at the sauna for your first course. Splash water on the scalding stones, absorb the steam, and surrender to the heat.

Afterwards, hold off on the cold bath. This way the heat starts reaching and building at the core of your body. And if a breeze should visit the terrace, let it pass through you.

When you’ve had your fill of fresh air, return to the sauna. You’ll surely notice you sweat faster and more intensely than the first time.

Your body’s core keeps the heat, much like the slumbering volcano at the heart of this island.
Now, once you’ve sweated enough, it’s time for the cold bath. Enter gently and cool yourself off.

This allows you to gently relax the body. When your body is awake and your heart is loosened, you achieve deep comfort. Once your body is relaxed, feel free to lay out in your room, or the terrace if you wish.

And that brings the first course to a close. You can repeat it from the beginning. Or continue letting the breeze work on you.

When you surrender yourself – to the heat, the wind and the water – the body remembers its own flow.
