Wisdom on the Bench
Celebrating Active Aging Week 2025
October 6-12, 2025
Active Aging Week is a nationwide campaign focused on celebrating the contributions and capabilities of older adults. The events are designed to provide experiences within a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable environment.
Aging ain’t easy, and rightly so, around the world most cultures hold seniors with respect and reverence. We need their moral support, now more than ever.
Older Americans have a lot to give, but have needs too. And too often in the U.S. we fail to recognize the immense resource right around the corner.
Let’s not dispense the past—at the expense of our future!
We need a course correction! It’s time for an intergenerational revival.
At SaunaGlo, we are proud to provide an all-ages-welcome environment for every phase of life, from newborns to centenarians.
Doctors (need better) Orders
Social isolation and poor mental health correlate to declining physical health. Far too many incredible people pass prematurely due to a lack of wholesome, safe and substantive stimulation of the body and mind.
Light cardio workouts are simply not possible for many. Mobility challenges and safe walking routes, the right equipment, recovery — the list is long. But boy do we have the antidote!
Sauna’s the incredible gift for cardiovascular health care and social connection, no prescription necessary! AND solid studies publishing data that backs cognitive boosts with proven reduction for dementia? Done and done.
We firmly believe the sweat bath is our fountain of youth for pennies on the dollar.
The cost of health care isn’t going down. It’s time to give the power to the people, alongside the financial accessibility of this holistic healing modality to our wonderful, wise and gifted greats, many of whom are on strictly fixed budgets.
Forget Low-Impact. How about No-Impact? Seniors’ heart health and Sauna go hand in glove.
A Heart to Heart
Young and old: self-conscious body image beliefs steal away sauna for many! Let’s stop this dirty rotten thief in its tracks. Tootsuite! Don’t let this hold you back one moment more.
Swimwear Clothing Required — Let’s stop picturing a poolside bathing suit scene! We love creativity at SaunaGlo and so do the steamers and dreamers who come for a good sweat and cold plunge!
A flowing sauna dress made from lightweight merino wool? 100% cotton Nike® shorts and that favorite cozy T? An oversized wear-able towel or robe made of breathable linen or hemp? All sweat-bathing outfits belong here!! Natural fibers are best! We have options for purchase at SaunaGlo, including Saunamekko — simply the best sauna-wear out there made with love in the Twin Cities.
We value beyond words a space of psychological safety, modesty and inclusion of physical-appearances. Too many brands, too often capitalize on what’s sadly true: sexy youth sells, especially in the social media algorithms.
Our mission, and the reality? A nurtured and nurturing community space that sets the gold standard for judgement-free— a kind and caring space that welcomes all shapes and sizes, warts and all!
So, here’s to our sassy sage neighbors, parents, grand and great, who know just how rad it is to be a contemporary of Bob Dylan and Dolly Parton.
And for us, this isn’t just lip-service superficiality. Actions back the words: SaunaGlo is proud to give our 70+ friends one FREE sauna this October, valid for reservations placed any time during Active Aging Week, through Oct. 12.
But there’s more: After the sauna, gift another free sauna day pass to a 70-plus peer of choice, totally!
But there’s more: After that first FREE sauna, gift another FREE sauna to a 70-plus peer of choice!
Celebrating the wisdom of our aunties, elders and mentors.
Sauna for every stage and age! We love you. We need you. Let’s spend time in good heat, learning and laughing.
