Guided Sauna Session Using A Sauna Fan To Distribute The Heat From The Steam

Guided Session

80-90°c

70 MIN

MAX 15

NATURE

  • Be guided through three 12 to 15-minute rounds of sauna by an instructor. There is a break between each round if you want to dip in the lake, and the session lasts for an hour. The Guided experience is the recommended option if this is your first sauna or if you like to get the most out of each session.

    Most people find they enjoy the guidance of an instructor while they sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey. Your session will include aufguss/steam and music, essential oils, connection to breath, and meditation - depending on your instructor and the day!

  • Casual Drop-In:
    $32 per session*

    Concession Options:
    5 pass: $23 per session
    10 pass: $18.50 per session

    *Aren’t sure? If you switch to a concession pass after your first casual session, we will credit your account $32 towards your multi-pass.

    • It’s very important to arrive on time - 5-10 mins early is best so you can get signed in and showered. Please factor in getting to the location and parking. The rounds are done as a group

    • No towel, no sauna, you sweaty thing! Bring one for the sauna and one for afterward. We have spares available for purchase for those forgotten towel emergencies.

    • Drink lots of water before, during, and after your sauna

    • Try not to eat at least 2 hours before (kind of like going to the gym)

    • Be guided by your instructor, listen to your body

    • Towel or bathing suit required

    • A sauna hat keeps your head cooler and helps your body tolerate the heat better. Your instructor will be wearing one - they are extraordinarily stylish and recommended if you will be in the sauna regularly

    • We are a mobile sauna in the wild, not a luxury spa. Bring your sense of adventure and channel that inner Wim Hof. Expect raw nature, weather, cold & hot temps, and bare ground.

    • If you want to see the mountains, remember it’s dark in winter by 5 pm. Book those earlier sessions for the view

    • Sauna etiquette: shower before entering, and use a towel.

    • Please read the waiver when booking
