Tiina Vainio, the author of the book, developed a licensed sauna fitness system Sauna Yoga which has now became popular all over the world. The book titled Sauna Yoga - Finding Calm and Relaxation  demonstrates three, 30-minute long sequences of poses suitable for for anyone regardless of age and level of fitness.

With the design I wanted to reflect the serenity of yoga and the peace and beauty of Finnish sauna culture. Finnish nature plays an important role in choice of photos. Photographer Charlotta Boucht took amazing pictures for the book. The dim light and roughness of the old sauna buildings or the calm beauty of the summery sceneries have almost a meditative effect on a reader. See also Saunapilates, the second book from the same authors.
