Sauna
Heat as a practice — the oldest recovery ritual, newly understood.
Heat asks little and gives much. Sit in it, breathe, and let the body do what it has done for millennia: vasodilation lifts circulation and clears the residue of training, while heat shock proteins defend the architecture of your cells — work you feel as deeper recovery and, across years, resilience. The protocols here draw on the longevity research that reshaped how we think about a warm room.
