HOW TO SAUNA ​​​

PREPARE

​Before hitting the sauna, store your belongings in lockers and change into your bathing suit.  Drink some water and if you're wearing perfume or scented lotions, take a shower before you hit the sauna.

THE CYCLE OF SAUNA

​STEP 1. HOT

Once you're in the sauna, lie down or comfortable find a comfortable seat. Allow 5-15 minutes for the body to heat up and begin perspiring. Make sure to stay hydrated before and after sauna use.  

STEP 2. COLD

Traditional sauna recommends a cold rinse after sauna! Rinse in the cold shower for 1-3 mins.  Remember to breathe! Rub vigorously on your skin to bring the blood to the surface — this will help you find temperature balance and feel warmer in the cold water. 

STEP 3. RELAX

Read a book, take a nap, sip on hot tea.  Now is a good time to get that herbal foot soak or face mask too! Ask a sauna attendant for a list of treats and goodies that will enhance your sauna experience.

REPEAT​

Repeat the cycle between two and four times.
