World’s First: Breathwork in a Bio Sauna

At KEEN, we’re proud to introduce something you won’t find anywhere else on the planet: guided breathwork sessions in a bio sauna.

Yes, there are other concepts around the world combining breathwork with heat—but they’re all using traditional Finnish saunas: extremely hot, dry environments that limit breathing comfort and shorten the amount of time you can stay inside. We’re doing it differently.

 

Why Bio Sauna Breathwork Is a Game-Changer

A bio sauna sits in the middle ground between a Finnish sauna and a steam room—offering a warm, humid climate that’s far more compatible with deep, controlled breathing.

 

The key differences:

Bio Sauna (Keen Wellbeing)
122–140°F (50–60°C)
40–60% humidity

Warm, moist air supports airways
Comfortable for extended breathwork
 

 

Finnish Sauna (Others)

158–212°F (70–100°C)

10–20% humidity
 

Dry air can irritate throat & nasal passages
Difficult to sustain long breathing cycles

 

 

The Science Behind It

Breathwork is a potent tool for stress reduction, oxygen efficiency, and mental clarity. It works by modulating your nervous system, balancing oxygen and CO₂ levels, and improving circulation.

 

The bio sauna amplifies these effects:

Moderate heat increases blood flow without overwhelming your system

Humidity hydrates mucous membranes, making breathing deep and rhythmic

Gentle steam relaxes the body, priming you for parasympathetic activation

By contrast, a Finnish sauna’s extreme heat and dryness can lead to shorter breath-holds, more throat irritation, and less comfort—limiting the depth of your practice.

 

What You’ll Feel

In our bio sauna breathwork sessions, the combination of heat, humidity, and guided breathing produces a distinct shift:

Muscles relax, tension melts away

Breath becomes deep, smooth, and effortless

Mind chatter quiets, replaced by calm clarity

A wave of endorphins and dopamine lifts your mood

Many describe leaving the session feeling light, clear-headed, and recharged—as if they’ve just woken from the best nap of their life, but with a sharper mind.

 


Why No One Else Is Doing It

Most wellness studios default to Finnish saunas for tradition’s sake. But for breathwork, that tradition works against the body’s natural needs. By choosing a bio sauna—with its balanced heat and breathable humidity—we’ve unlocked a synergy no one else is offering.

The result: longer, more effective breathwork sessions with greater physical comfort and deeper nervous system benefits.


 

Experience It Yourself

Breathwork alone is transformative. Sauna therapy alone is powerful. But breathwork in a bio sauna is something entirely new—a combination that enhances oxygen delivery, deepens relaxation, and leaves you in a heightened state of physical and mental balance.

We’re the first in the world to offer it. You could be the first to experience it.
