Testimonials

After working with Harrison I am extremely confident with the tool box of protocols and routines I can use on and off the ice this season. I have a whole new approach to using the breath to enhance my performance on ice but also recovery off the ice. Understanding how to recover faster is the name of the game and what Harrison taught me is changing my approach. Michael Kapla - SHL Player

Harrison has taught me functional breathing techniques and in 3 sessions over 3 weeks of practice I was able to take 40 seconds off my fastest time on a uphill running time trial....my aerobic capacity is much greater, sensitivity to CO2 build up is much better and my respiratory muscles are stronger. Breath is now a tool for my racing toolbox.

About Sauna Papi

Breath, Mindset & Movement Specialist

Luis Leonardo, the Sauna Papi, and his right hand man, Harrison Klein are pioneering the development of protocols to optimize human health & performance and take control of your life! Serving as their own lab rats, on a search for the most universal performance and wellness enhancing routines, they discovered the power of applying breath and intentional practices to sauna, cold therapy and movement modalities. Luis, an ex-professional triathlete with over 3 decades in the health & fitness industry, who is the founder of Embrace North a sauna and cold therapy service in Minneapolis (now with 800 subscribers), teamed up with Breath & Movement Specialist, Harrison Klein, who is endlessly curious about expanding the human spirit, to open their gym, called Built To Breathe that implements a “breath first” approach to all of the current training modalities. They are combining concepts from Embrace North/Built To Breathe and now facilitate “Sauna Papi” exposure workshops combining nature, movement, breath-work, cold water immersion and sauna therapy. Understanding how stress and our relationship with stress shapes our human behavior is a key part of what they are pursuing. Their core objectives are to tear down the traditional blocks in breathwork practices, remove any stigmas behind suffer culture in the fitness industry, and make these tools available to all audiences, regardless of the entry point. These two believe breath control is the most powerful tool for improving resilience, managing stress, and enhancing human performance for EVERY living human. They now want to share these amazing experiences they are facilitating and practicing daily with the masses, as they serve as a strategic launch pad for people to experience personal transformation. The Sauna Papi Lifestyle app challenges your mental game just as much as physical and emphasizes the importance of recovery in the form of breathwork, intentional movement, sauna and cold therapy.
