sauna tips
Hydrate
Be sure to drink a pint of water before starting your session and two pints for every hour spent inside the sauna thereafter.
​
Heat up
Relax where you are comfy, either on the upper bench or lower bench. Sauna is a safe place. People have been enjoying this practice for thousands of years.
​
Steam
Steam (loyly) is a very spiritual element to a good sauna. Steam, helps to wash and cleanse the skin as well as being helpful and soothing for the respiratory system.
​
Cool down
Exit the hot room and try a cold plunge, shower or swim. Listen to your core, not your skin and enjoy some fresh air until your body is completely cooled.
​
Repeat
After a complete cool down, heart rate and blood pressure are most often lower than baseline. This is a great time to consider
re-entering the sauna hot room to enjoy another round.
​
Eat
Try not to eat within a couple of hours before starting a sauna session. Be careful with alcohol as it can affect your ability to regulate body temperature.
