Enjoy Sauna and Relaxation at Levi
No vacation in Levi is complete without sauna! Try our simple tips for guaranteed relaxation.
HEAT – The temperature in a sauna should not be too high, and the heat should feel pleasantly humid and soft. Going to the sauna should feel enjoyable.
OXYGEN – You should be able to breathe easily in a sauna: the larger the space, the more oxygen there is in the air inside. You can take a breather outside to cool down before going back into the sauna.
ATTITUDE – If you are after tranquility, you must be able to relax in the sauna. Sometimes you just need to listen to the water sizzling on the hot stones.
TALKING – In a sauna, you can talk about anything that is on your mind to destress. But sometimes it's best to leave room for silence as well.
CONSIDERATION – You do not have to go to the sauna naked and can instead wear a towel or a bathing suit. If you have less experience with saunas, you should start small when throwing water onto the stones.
