Octopia Sauna is a wood-fired sanctuary, handcrafted with rough-sawn hemlock and a hand-painted door, completed in January 2025. The sauna’s design incorporates an octopus theme, rich in symbolism. The octopus, known for its transformation, adaptability, and intelligence, symbolizes the flexibility needed to navigate life’s challenges. Its eight arms and recurring patterns represent infinity, cycles of renewal, and the continuous flow of energy. Together, these elements create a space for healing, stillness, rejuvenation, and connection. Octopia Sauna offers a serene retreat, inviting peace and wholeness to all who enter.

Hari Kaur Khalsa is a master teacher of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, pioneering its teaching in the West as part of the first wave of yoga teachers. She studied Qi Gong with Chris Chen and offers classes tailored for women and all practitioners. Hari directs and teaches Kundalini classes and teacher trainings worldwide, with a notable legacy of bringing Kundalini Yoga to high schools and hospitals. From 1988 to 2004, she led the development of Kundalini Yoga wellness programs at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in the Greater Boston Area before relocating to NYC with her husband, Dave. In 2004, Hari founded the Illumined Woman courses to empower women of all ages, curating wisdom that brings healing, comfort, and transformation. She authored two influential books: ‘A Woman’s Book of Meditation: Discovering the Power of a Peaceful Mind’ and, as co-author with Machelle Seibel, MD, ‘A Woman’s Book of Yoga: Embracing Our Natural Life Cycles.’ Hari’s dedication has earned her numerous service awards for making Kundalini Yoga accessible worldwide, and she was the first woman teacher trainer to integrate these teachings universally. Hari Kaur Khalsa’s impact extends beyond her teachings; she was recognized as one of Yoga Journal’s Top Ten Influencers of Yoga in the West, a testament to her profound influence on the global yoga community.
