The Finnish way to enjoy a sauna The SpeciaList BBC
00:00let's go do a like fins do most important thing is you need to breathe welcome to the only public SAA in the entire lap land and where you can swim in the sea it's not a lake it is the btic ocean and you can dip in there after you done some warming up in a swn SAA is a thing in Finland if you want to know about SAA ask the fins as fins we don't call it SAA we call it SAA there is one thing you have adopted from our language and we say it sa that's how you say it so here we go if people seem that they're enjoying their time being quiet you need to respect that we fins
01:00sometimes do saut just for relaxation we might be just enjoying our time in peace this thing that is the heart of our SAA when you throw water on it you get a thing that we like to call lolu which is sort of like the spirit of Sona that is the Steam and the warmth if you are a person that that loves really hot steamy SAA that is probably a good thing to say out loud do you mind if I thr it some more because people like different things as fins we go to SAA naked usually we offer a communal SAA where men and women are mixed so we always say that you need to wear your swimsuits but if it's amongst your friends or your family at home we always do SAA naked
02:00you see all sorts of VAR shapes and sizes and everyone as they are we're fins we do cool offs cuz we then to do SAA for an hour maybe hour and a half we go and cool off a bit we do this thing called snow bathing that is quite old school thing that we do in Finland you can go and roll in the snow just to cool yourself off or you can just step outside into the cool air and let the Steam and Warmness get out of you we have this thing called aant in Finland which is basically going to the icy water whether it's a lake or a sea in our case it's the sea so you dip yourself into the 0° water just a cool off it helps your heart it helps your blood pressure everyone was always scared like oh I
03:00can't do it I can't do it and I keep telling you know go to KNE high and go back to SAA then do it again just dip yourself a bit further and go back to SAA get yourself one and then they do it and they're like oh god it worked and I did it like three four times and everyone should try it back in the days pregnant ladies were taken to SAA to give birth to their babies some people were even transfer there after death is always been a sort of holy place for us it's you when you go there not anything else just you
