London Sauna Week - Sauna for beginners
This intimate event combines a thought-provoking talk with an immersive sauna experience, inviting you to discover why millions of Europeans sauna the way they do. Together we'll unpack the history and etiquette of communal sauna, including why nudity has long been considered the most hygienic, practical and comfortable way to experience heat, and the surprising psychological benefits of leaving body image at the door.
Rather than a formal lecture, the evening is designed as a relaxed conversation led by Victoria Maddox and guest speaker, Yahya El-Droubie and author of Sauna for Beginners: A Pocket Guide. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions, discussion and shared experiences.
