WHAT IS AN INFRARED SAUNA?
An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit light that is absorbed by your skin, directly warming your body without needing to heat the air around you.
This gentle, yet effective heat provides a more comfortable and accessible sauna experience, making it ideal for relaxation and health improvement.

HOW LONG IS AN
INFRARED SAUNA SESSION?
A typical session in our infrared sauna lasts between 20 to 50 minutes.
Duration depends on intensity and the setting your choose upon entering.
We recommend starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing the duration as your body acclimates to the heat.
WHAT IS CONTRAST THERAPY?
Contrast therapy involves alternating between the heat of a sauna and the chill of an ice bath.
This combination is believed to amplify the benefits of each therapy, improving circulation, reducing muscle soreness, and accelerating recovery.
Book into an Infrared Sauna and level up your experience into contrast therapy by adding a plunge in our state of the art cold plunge studio.
BENEFITS OF INFRARED SAUNAS
Detoxification
Infrared saunas are known for their ability to promote detoxification. By inducing a deep sweat, they help your body eliminate toxins through the skin. A study in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health found that sweating in a sauna can excrete heavy metals and other toxins
Pain Relief
The deep heat of infrared saunas can relieve pain by increasing circulation and reducing inflammation. Research in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that infrared sauna therapy can significantly reduce chronic pain.
Improved Circulation
Infrared heat promotes blood flow, enhancing circulation and oxygenation of tissues. A study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that regular use of saunas can improve endothelial function in the heart's arteries.
Skin Rejuvenation
The sweating and increased circulation from infrared sauna sessions can lead to clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin. Research in Dermatology suggests that sauna bathing can improve skin hydration and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Stress Reduction
The warmth of the infrared sauna provides a calming environment, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. A study in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that regular sauna use can lower stress levels and improve mental well-being.
Weight Loss
While not a substitute for exercise, the heat from an infrared sauna can increase heart rate and metabolism, potentially aiding in weight loss. A study in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine reported that sauna therapy can contribute to reduced body weight in adults.
Improved Sleep
The relaxation effect of infrared saunas can help improve sleep patterns. The heat helps to relax muscles and relieve tension, leading to a more restful night's sleep.
