„Aus Sonya wird SAUNA Kraus“ – Neuer Partytrend aus London: Sauna-Raves

Moderatorin Sonya Kraus (52) – schied bei der aktuellen RTL Show „Let’s Dance“ als Erste aus – nahm Ende März im Londoner Szeneviertel Shoreditch im Wellness-Club „The Sanctuary“ an einem angesagten „sober“  (nüchtern) Sauna-Rave teil. Dieser anglo-amerikanische Partytrend scheint laut BILD längst auch in Deutschland angekommen zu sein. Eigentlich ist es wegen der niedrigen Raumtemperaturen (45 – 55 Grad C.) ein Warmluft-Rave mit Parallelen zu „Hot“ Sauna-Yoga.

Die KI Claude ergänzt: „Sauna und Rave teilen…ein gemeinsames Element: den bewussten Rückzug aus dem Alltag in einen veränderten Körper- und Bewusstseinszustand“.
