Mobile Sauna
Contrast Therapy with Hot Mobile Sauna and Cold Water Exposure
Mobile Sauna
A mobile sauna is a bit odd but I wanted to build a sauna after learning about all the positive effects on human health. Having it mobile allows for way more fun. Sauna has been shown to improve cardiovascular health, mood, and help with pain. Plus it is a healthy activity to do with friends and family. There is a reason that humans have been sweating together for thousands of years, it feels good and has good effects. I want to let others experience the sauna with training or as a stand alone item.
The mobile sauna rental is $250 for a 24 hour period. It is $75 per additional day. Trips beyond 25 miles are $50 extra. With mobility training rates can be discussed.
This is the only Mobile Sauna in Kalamazoo Area. It rents with wood for fire and a cold tub to fill with water and ice if wanted. Combining heat and cold is so much fun.
A guided experience is also available. I will teach you some of the sauna tools I have learned and guide you through the experience of fire and ice. If you have never done sauna and ice, it is very helpful to have a guide to increase enjoyment. It is not easy but it is amazing.
Response
The body responds to heat with a release of dynorphins and endorphins in the brain. Dynorphins at first cause discomfort and agitation but set the stage for endorphins to have enhanced effects on our mood and body. This is why we feel a happy euphoria following sauna.
Studies have found that the regular use of sauna can decrease cortisol levels; enhance the activation of DNA repair/longevity pathways; and increase the activation of Heat Shock Proteins, which help monitor and possibly repair protein structure within our cells. Information is transferred between cells via protein structures and is vital to our health and wellbeing.
Growth Hormone plays a key role in stimulating muscle growth, strengthening bones, repairing tissue, and increasing metabolism. Most growth Hormone is released at night while we sleep but occasional use sauna protocols has been shown to dramatically boost the amount of Growth Hormone released (up to 16-fold ).
Enjoyment
Sauna feels good but it is also uncomfortable after time at 180 degrees. This stimulus allows you to work on your sympathetic nervous system, stress response, strategies for being unconformable, and intentional breathing. This is enjoyable because it difficult but intentional. You feel accomplished, relaxed, and a bit less bothered with all of life's stress.
Healthy and fun activities are the best when shared with friends and family. Adding the sauna to training days is a great way to elevate your healthy life. Rent the mobile sauna, enjoy, repeat!
