Sweating To Be Well: An Interview With Shape House Founder, Sophie Chiche

Recently we sat down with Sophie Chiche to talk about modern wellness on our podcast, SlowMo. Sophie is a career and life coach, journalist, author, psychologist and founder of celeb-fave Shape House, an Urban Sweat Lodge that allows you to sweat in a holistic way to improve your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness.

“Sweating is an ancient wellness practice that dates back to Greek bathhouses in the 6th century B.C.E. Since then, sweating has played a pivotal role in many forms of cultural expression around the world, including spiritual ceremonies, healing rituals, and hygienic practices.

Although each culture sweats differently, they do have one thing in common: the recognition that sweating is a natural and healthy way to help people reconnect with their deeper selves, and with one another. At Shape House, we strive to honor the rich traditions behind sweating while incorporating modern technology, so that we can make sweating a convenient, affordable, and nourishing experience for everyone.”
