The Sauna Ritual
Everything you need to know before your first infrared sauna session.
Prepare
Come well hydrated and wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing to your appointment. Most guests choose workout clothing, a swimsuit, or one of our provided sauna wraps. For the best infrared experience, arrive with clean skin and remove any makeup before your session.
Arrive
Please arrive 5 minutes early for check-in to ensure you receive your full appointment time. Your private sauna suite will be equipped with everything you need, including fresh towels, complimentary water, and lightweight men's and women's sauna wraps.
Sweat
Your session, your pace. Read, listen to music, meditate, stretch, or simply enjoy the quiet while infrared heat gently warms the body and encourages a deep, comfortable sweat.
Reset
Every session ends with a chilled eucalyptus towel—a refreshing way to cool down, reset, and transition back into your day.
