Let's chat about the difference between an
Infrared Sauna experience
and a 'Traditional' Sauna (steam, hot rocks etc)
In a traditional sauna, you feel warm because the ambient air temp is hot, but in an infrared sauna your skin and core body temp are heated directly by exposure to the Infrared light. A real life example of this that we can all relate to is a cold winter day (the ambient air temp around you is cold), but if the sun is beaming on your face you feel your skin warm.
From a physiological point of view, infrared cabins have virtually the same effect as traditional saunas--and even better because you aren't losing as much hydration.
Sunlighten 3-in-1 infrared system ensures the heat is not so intense as to have a negative effect, yet still intense enough to make you feel warm all over. You can comfortably remain inside the cabin for a full 40min or 70 mins
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT INFRARED SAUNAS WORK BY HEATING YOU , NOT THE ROOM--PLEASE REFRAME YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM TRADITIONAL SAUNAS click here for more info

- Hydrate! Make this a day you lessen your caffeine & increase how much water you drink to get the most of your session We offer an amazing assortment of Raw Kombucha, probiotic drinks, Cold pressed juices & organic loose leaf teas. PLEASE bring a refillable bottle of water to use during your session.
- Please arrive approx 5 mins before your appointment. We are working hard to manage everyone's safety and a large part of that is having correct timing between appointments for sanitizing. If you're early or late by more than 10mins this affects our sanitization time between clients. So please do your best to understand our position. We will ALWAYS make things flexible for you when we can, but if we cannot please don't be upset at us and understand the reasoning behind it.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing It's important for your skin to breathe after an session and to wait approx 30 mins - 1 hour before showering. So say no to spandex! Most of our clients plan out a little 15 min walk around the great small shops in Park Slope after their session.
- Arrive with clean skin Please do not apply oils or moisturizers before your appointment its not helpful for your skin during your session
- Towels Post covid we lowered all of our prices and now allow folks to either bring their own towels (at no cost), or choose to rent a full towel set from us. If you are bringing your own it is MANDATORY that you bring at least 2 full sized towels. If this isn't followed a $5 fee will apply and we will set your sauna up with a towel.
