THE EXPERIENCE

Infrared saunas heat you very gently and slowly, making it a very peaceful experience for most people. You may find that you do not sweat for the first 10-15 minutes, or not very much at all your first time. With increased usage, you will likely notice an increased ability to sweat more productively.

Because you are in a private suite during your sauna session, you can choose to relax however you please during this time. Some choose to disconnect and meditate, while others listen to music or a podcast. It is completely up to you!

It is important to note that with our sauna pods, your head is not in the sauna and not being heated. This allows for a much more comfortable sweat session.

After sweating, you will feel relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated. You may notice glowing skin, diminished wrinkles, muscle and injury relief, as well as a sense of calmness.

How TO PREPARE

DRINK UP

We recommend coming fully hydrated and even eating a little snack before your sweat session. It is important to drink plenty of water before, during and after your sweat. We have complimentary water available should you choose to bring your reusable bottle, as well as cold-pressed juices and bottled water available for purchase.

WHAT TO WEAR

We recommend sweating in as little (or no) clothing as possible. Loose-fitting clothing or athleisure wear is ideal to wear after your appointment. We provide all towels and even cold towels to use during your session.

REMOVE MAKEUP, LOTIONS AND OILS

We recommend removing makeup and any lotions or oils before your sweat session. We have makeup remover wipes available for use. Clean skin ensures that you are not letting any toxins in while you are sweating toxins out. Bare skin is recommended for sauna use, as some ingredients in lotions/creams can react with the heat, causing a rash or burn. If you have recently had a spray tan or applied self-tanner, it is best to postpone your sauna session.

While sauna therapy is considered safe, it is not for everyone. We want you to have a safe and enjoyable sweat, so let us know about your past sauna experiences or any health conditions you may have. Please remember we are not medical professionals and always recommend checking with your primary physician if you have any questions or concerns regarding infrared sauna use.
