The Sauna from Finland Academy is a complimentary online resource that offers extensive information about Finnish saunas. The Academy’s mission is to help businesses enhance their offerings by providing insights into the creation of more engaging, attractive, and high-quality Finnish sauna products and services that foster growth and well-being.
Through the Sauna from Finland Academy, both new and existing sauna service providers can access a wealth of useful information that aids in the development and maintenance of Finnish sauna services. The Academy is multilingual, offering content in English, German, and Japanese.
“It’s thrilling to see such strong global interest in the Finnish sauna experience. Our network is rapidly growing with new entrepreneurs eager to deliver the authentic Finnish sauna experience, complete with traditional löyly. We hope the Sauna Academy will help these companies get off to a strong start, and we’re here to support them in finding new partners and achieving success,” says Titta Pervis, Project Manager.
Key topics covered by the Sauna from Finland Academy include:
- What constitutes a Finnish sauna?
- Design and construction of saunas.
- Sauna maintenance and cleaning.
- Strategies for developing and marketing sauna services.
These topics and contents have been collaboratively developed with more than 200 members of our Sauna from Finland network, drawing on frequently asked questions we’ve encountered over the years. The Academy provides case studies from Finland and globally, as well as tools for developing new or existing sauna services. Plans are in place to expand the Academy into a series of advanced courses, and further training opportunities will be available at the World Sauna Forum, scheduled for June 9-11, 2026, in Jyväskylä.
The Sauna from Finland Academy has been realized with support from the Central Finland Regional Council’s “Growth through Sauna Expertise Development” project during 2022-2024.
