BEFORE YOUR FIRST SAUNA
Getting ready for your first Infrared Sauna session?
Here’s what you need to know!
General Info
Please arrive 15 minutes early to your appointment for your induction and to watch the instructional video. Your sauna session will go for 45 minutes, including time for a follow-up shower.
Be sure to sign the waiver before your appointment.
Be sure to be well hydrated one hour before your sauna. Each person's heat tolerance is different, but being properly hydrated will make it much more enjoyable.

Each room has bluetooth connectivity so you can bring your own music or use the time to meditate, whichever you prefer. There is also a space to rest an iPad if you want to watch Netflix while you get your sweat on (although, we suggest using our saunas as a way to escape technology!)
