Sauna from Finland is proud to announce the launch of its brand-new sauna podcast, Happy with Heat!
Created for sauna lovers, wellness seekers, and curious minds around the world, Happy with Heat invites you to explore the warmth, connection, and joy found in sauna culture—from Finland to California to the United Kingdom and beyond.
Why a Sauna Podcast?
The sauna is a place to relax, but it’s also a lifestyle, a wellness ritual, and a space for deep connection. Through Happy with Heat, we bring inspiring voices from around the world to share their stories, traditions, and personal paths to well-being through heat.
Each episode highlights how sauna culture is evolving globally, while always staying true to its authentic roots.
