Tiina Vainio, the author of the book, developed Sauna Pilates after successful launching of Sauna Yoga. Both sauna fitness systems have now became popular all over the world.  The book titled Sauna Pilates – Wellbeing for the Back demonstrates three 30-minute long sequences of poses with the emphasis on servicing the back and on strengthening the neck and shoulder muscles. 

Like in previous book Sauna Yoga the aim of visuality was to reflect the peace and beauty of Finnish sauna culture, but this time with an urban twist. We went to take photos in urban saunas of Helsinki and searched for beautiful nature spots in the city as well as rough wastelands and old industrial buildings for urban nostalgia.
