1. Arrive & Get Settled
Your attendant, Gary, will walk you through everything you need to know to enjoy your sauna experience. Arrive with your swimsuit and towel, and we’ll have the wood stove warming so you can ladle water onto the stones and enjoy soothing steam.

2. Sweat, Cool, & Reset
Relax into the heat for 15–20 minutes, then step outside to cool down or take a cold plunge. Allow your body time to adjust, rehydrate with water (2–4 glasses recommended), and repeat the cycle as desired—listening to your body throughout.

Step 3: Cool Down & Rebalance
