About Kivia Sauna
 
Kivia Sauna celebrates all things sauna and sauna culture — from the magical powers of löyly to the thrill of an icy cold plunge and the pleasure of a post-sauna beer.

Led by Alan Jalasjaa, a sauna builder and lifelong sauna enthusiast, Kivia Sauna is on a mission to spread the joy of sauna, far and wide. 

Through our travels to sauna destinations around the globe, our podcast, Kivia: The Spirit of Sauna (available wherever you listen to podcasts) and other endeavours, our goal is to bring sauna to the people, with a focus on community, connection, authenticity and fun. Learn more at kivia.ca.
