Nordic tradition, thriving on the east coast
Three rounds: fifteen minutes of proper heat, then cold water, then rest. Repeat. Between the heat and the cold lives a state of deep, wrung-out calm that people cross the world for. A growing number of coastal saunas between Brisbane and Sydney do this properly.
How to do it
- 1Fifteen minutes in the sauna, breathing slow
- 2Cold plunge or cold shower, one minute
- 3Rest wrapped up for ten minutes
- 4Repeat three times, hydrate throughout
An experience, not a claim. Offered as a way to take a break. Away makes no health claim for it.
