What do I bring?

Show up wearing comfortable clothes over your swim suit or proper light wear for wearing in the sauna, and a bag to store them in while you are enjoying the sauna. We suggest bringing at least one, preferably two towels (one for wiping off sweat during your rounds and one for cleaning up afterwards, and a large water bottle or two for staying hydrated. We also suggest extra hydration in your hour leading up to sauna. Also some sandals or flip flops, or some slip on shoes when cooling down to protect those feet in the cold weather.

How do I sauna?

Hydrate first. Then you will change into a swim suit or light clothing, because you will get quite hot and will do some sweating. Next grab a towel and head into the hot room, put a towel down, relax and just settle into the heat. Enjoy some conversation or stay quiet and listen to your body. When you have had enough, typically 10-15 minutes, leave the hot room and cool down, typically for the same amount of time you were in the hot room. Do some hydration, maybe a cold shower, or a cold plunge, and then head back in to sweat some more. Do as many rounds as time offers or you would like. Just remember to continue to hydrate, listen to your body, and enjoy the experience.
