OUR STORY
We were inspired by the simple, natural, and mindful Nordic way of life while living in Sweden.
Sauna bathing is a centuries-old tradition
This tradition is the essence of Nordic culture. Sauna bathing is an ancient form of healing used to relax the body and mind. It originated with native populations across the globe, with the Finnish sauna {SOW-NAH} being the most popular ritual we see today.
The sauna is a place to retreat, cure what ails you, and gather with friends to share in an uplifting experience.
“We believe that uplifting your well-being from the warm, social sauna experience should be a regular part of life.”
Uppliva provides a modern take on the age-old sauna tradition
We offer you the opportunity to experience the benefits of the Hot-Cold-Rest sauna ritual - warming up in a sauna, plunging into cold waters, and resting fireside - in an urban setting.
Translated from Swedish, uppliva {UP-LEEVA} means to uplift, revive, renew and comfort. Our daily mission is reflected in our name, which is simply to uplift your well-being.
“Health is a state of body, wellness is a state of being”
-j. stanford
We offer you the authentic Nordic sauna experience as part of your wellness routine.
We know firsthand from our own wellness journey that our mind-body connection helps us to stay healthy, prevent illness and feel well.
Our fast-paced lifestyles can leave us little time to slow down. We ultimately want to help you slow down to renew your body and mind, and live a longer, healthier life.
Lagom {LA-GOM} is Swedish for not too much, not too little, just right.
It is an ethos that seeks to bring more balance, happiness and well-being into our lives.
