Seal Sleeping<\/h4>\n

This guided relaxing is a tribute to the history of Kruunupuisto. Originally called \u201challimakuu\u201d i.e. sleeping and resting on the outdoor terrace, it was a form of treatment for tuberculosis patients at the Kruunupuisto Sanatorium in the past. The term \u201cseal sleeping\u201d comes from the sleeping bags, which make you look like a rare Saimaa Ringed Seal. This relaxing exercise will take you into the midst of nature to breath and feel the fresh ridge air. By the picturesque forest and lake views, we hear the wind humming, allowing all our thoughts to just come and go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
