Three magazines. One course.
Gars, Balance and Threshold: the first three issues of Sauna Academy in full, with dainas and practice for your sauna. In Latvian, English, Spanish and Russian.
Steam, balance, threshold.
Gars · Steam
From the Livonians who walked from the sauna into the Daugava in 1198 to the dainas in which the sons of God heat the sauna for the daughters of the Sun.
Balance
What heat really does to the body, what twenty years of Finnish research show, and why a doctor calls the sauna an encounter.
Threshold
What happens to the mind when heat, rhythm, darkness and cold close the door on everyday life for a while.
A magazine made for your phone.
