Sauna poetry

Who would have thought that the sauna could be the perfect place to write poetry? That steam and stanzas belong together? That cold plunge might strike a word or two?

Over the past few weeks, some guests have written and shared poems with us during their sauna sessions, and popped them into our creativity box for us to read and share later. Well, what a treat it's been for us to read them. Partly because they're awesome - thoughtful, tender, playful, funny, sometimes silly. On top of this, we have been completely struck by how sauna and cold plunge/ hot and cold therapy boosts creativity - is this another item to add to the 'benefits of hot and cold therapy' list?

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. It’s been a joy to read your words and see how the warmth of the sauna and the refreshment of the cold plunge can inspire new ideas.

Keep the poems coming, and watch this space for more poetry-themed sauna activities designed to boost creativity while staying warm and cosy.

Any other ideas, from creative to community to sporty to wellbeing to self care and beyond - we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch with us at info@iglusauna.co.uk.

For now, here's a few poems to enjoy. We'll continue to add more in the coming weeks and months.
