SaunaPause

Come grab a seat on the benches for our first ever storytelling night -

Once Upon A Sauna...

We can't wait to hear what people will feel inspired to bring to the fireside on Friday evening.

Did you know that aside of being one of the oldest forms of wisdom sharing and social connection for humans, storytelling has demonstrated a number of other health benefits : -

* lower cortisol (helping to manage sensations of stress)
* increase oxytocin (increase empathy & bonding)
* boosts cognition & imagination.
*. can lower perceived pain and blood pressure.

Add this to the physical, mental & social benefits of sauna bathing & you have a Friday night filled with fun & well-being.

See you on the benches for a happily ever after !

A beautiful, restorative night at SaunaPause HQ

Such richness and value from sharing aspects of our menopausal journeys.

Thankyou ladies 🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼

This is the good stuff.

We just need more of it!

Finding enough time, the right space and the company of she- folk who understand , makes all the difference when exploring the dimensions of rest that allow us to truly listen to what our bodies need next during this complex yet empowering life transition.

"Pause Sisters" is a name, an invitation, but sometimes it might also need to be an instruction.

We are so excited to finally be offering the brand new
ONCE UPON A SAUNA sessions this coming Friday..

Following a beautifully spontaneous story telling which occurred last week we thought it would be great to do it all again. So we are!

Storytelling is a wonderful way to share, connect and be playful. It's what humans have done fireside for millennia.

So come spark up the imagination and enjoy being a little bit spellbound as we explore, listen and tell tales, taradiddles and truths to usher in the weekend.

See you on the benches !

This international Women's Day
THE PAUSE IS OUR CAUSE...

THE PAUSE - in terms of the time we take for ourselves to rest. Rest, not as reward, but as a necessary restorative practise to help sustain us on our many different levels of being :- emotionally, mentally, creatively, socially, sensorially, physically & spiritually.

&

THE PAUSE - in terms of Menopause; This remarkable life transition that women go through and which we are only really just starting to discover how each individual woman might best navigate, support themselves and even embrace this truly transformative time.

We are working closely with The and a growing group of women who are committed to not only providing sauna as a safe, nurturing space to support women during the changes they encounter, but also in collaboratively finding an evidence base for the wide ranging benefits of sauna for women during this life stage.

Look out for the first BSS webinar ...

" Embrace the Heat : The Science of Sauna & Menopause"

Featuring :-

Journalist & Author
Researcher & Sauna owner Gillian Stokes (UCL)
Sexual & Reproductive Health Specialist - Dr Imogen Murray
Extreme sports Physiology Lecturers/ researchers at London South Bank University Freya Baynes & Lisa Zaidell
And Kate Rawson .co.uk.

Special thanks to for her inspiring conversation, support and input in preparation.

And don't forget you can come along to our Tuesday night PAUSE SISTERS sessions - 75 minutes dedicated to offering contrast, conversation , rest and connection to any women curious about exploring any stage of menopause & how sauna culture may help them along the way.

Come- Find your Power in the Pause!

Pause Sisters has quite a vibe tonight...

How amazing would it be to have a Full House?

What to expect?

Well, we tend to have a very relaxed couple of rounds mingling and chewing the hot fat. Then, in the third round, which I like to think as representing autumn , the symbolic seasonality of menopause , we open up the floor to a speak easy around the subject of this menacing ? Liberating ? Inevitable life transition.
There are funny stories , helpful advice, sometimes deep wisdom shared, but an openness and safety to just BE in the company of other pause-curious she-folk.

So , why not come along and see what this Pause could be like...
