  • What is guided sauna?

    – Many aren’t familiar with the full practice of sauna, which includes hot, cold, rest,
    rehydrate and repeat – known as the thermic cycle

  • How hot do you keep your saunas?

    – Traditional Nordic Sauna usually ranges from 160-200°F. For Private Sauna sessions you can
    request a warmer or lower temperature within this range, and for our Public and Social session
    temperatures are usually around 175-185°F

  • How cold is the cold plunge?

    – Water temperatures range from the low 50s to the high 30’s late Fall through early Spring,
    and usually stay 60°F or lower year round. Occasionally temperatures reach above 60°F, but this
    still offers a stark contrast from the 160-200°F sauna temperature.

  • How do I prepare for cold plunging?

    – To plunge with us you must be wearing some sort of footwear. We recommend you bring your
    own pair of “water shoes”. Our Sauna Guides are professionally trained to answer any and all
    questions before, during, or after your plunge. If you have never cold plunged before,
    introducing cold exposure through short cold showers can be a great way to begin this practice.

    – Another helpful tip to facilitate an optimal cold plunge experience is to practice mindful
    breathing, perhaps finding a breathwork approach that aligns with you. Generally we
    recommend deep, full breaths, and practicing this before cold plunging is a great way to set
    yourself up for success.

    – This is very important because when we hit the cold, we naturally hold our breath or breathe
    shallowly, yet our breath is our best tool to regulate our nervous system and mind through the
    intensity of the moment. Finding times throughout your day to breathe deeply prior to cold
    plunging will likely help you breathe well during your cold exposure as well. Breathing in through
    your nose is also beneficial.

  • What time should I arrive before my session?

    – Please arrive promptly at the time of your booked sauna slot to allow time for briefing. You
    can come 5-10 min early if you opt to start with the cold plunge.
