How it works

  • Before you arrive

    Arrive well-hydrated and wearing clothes you’re ready to sweat in. We ask all guests to wear at least a bathing suit in our sauna, as well as shoes that are easy to slip off prior to your session.

  • During your session

    Enjoy ~15 minute rounds in the heat with breaks to cool down. We encourage guests to listen to their bodies and step out of the sauna to cool down from the intense heat when they feel ready.

    If you’re new, try 5 and 10 minute rounds to get used to the heat.

  • Etiquette in the sauna

    We ask guests to sit on a towel in the sauna, to ask others before pouring water on the rocks for some steam, and to keep conversation at a pleasant noise level.

  • After your session

    Hydrate and eat well to replenish your body after this restorative activity. Keep your warm clothes nearby for layering up after your body temperature comes back down.
