PREPARING FOR THE INFRARED SAUNA
Here is the rundown of how to prepare for your infrared sauna session.
We recommend during your session that you wear gym or a swimsuit, something you don't mind sweating in. For after your session, we recommend that you wear loose clothing that breathes as you will continue to sweat even after your session.
It is recommended that you bring a water bottle with you. We have water available in the sauna room for you to drink but hydrating before, during and after your session is key. Prepare throughout the day but hydrating.
During your session you can utilize the bluetooth speakers and listen to your favorite music, podcast or audiobook. You can also read or just relax in silence.
We provide towels for you to use during your session. If you tend to sweat easily, we recommend that you have a personal towel with you to use after your session.
