[ life ] the science of it

Even though the emotional and mental wellbeing benefits are rarely talked about, they're actually quite important. A sweating session is a private, personal time of relaxation and solitude.



People have used sweat rituals around the world for thousands of years to garner greater physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Sweat practices continue to re-emerge in different forms. The activity gives the participant an intense physical and psychological experience. The power of this experience can continue to be harnessed for a multitude of purposes. Sweating has been used widely to promote spirituality and aid in meditation.
