Sauna

Warm up and detox in our dual heat source sauna that benefits your physical and mental wellness. Our private sauna, located in our studio, provides two heat options: a far infrared sauna and a Finnish sauna. You can choose which you prefer.

Our Sauna Experience

You get the sauna to yourself. Our private suite includes the sauna, shower, and washroom. We provide bathrobes, towels, and sandals. Get a slice of the spa right here in Black Mountain.

Want to make the most of your sauna? We recommend hot and cold therapy:

Hot

10-20 minutes

As you warm up in the sauna, your blood vessels dilate and blood flow increases, driving oxygen deeper into your joint tissue, muscles, and brain. This oxygenation shortens injury recovery time, helps you recover from exercise, soothes aches and pains, and increases cognitive function.

Cold

1-5 minutes

Jump in a cold shower to lower your heart rate, constrict blood and lymphatic vessels, and shunt blood back to your core. This process sends that oxygenated blood to your internal organs, flushing waste out of your body and triggering white blood cells to build your immunity. It also increases your brain’s production of norepinephrine and sends electrical impulses from your peripheral nerve endings up to your brain, alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improving alertness, focus, and cognition.

Rest

10-15 minutes

You will be able to deeply relax through the release of endorphins and deep breathing, draining stress from your body. Your parasympathetic nervous system can rest and digest. Intestinal and glandular activity increases and your autonomic body functions are supported.

Repeat

Go through this rhythm a few times, and your mind and body will thank you!

Choose Your Heat Source

Customize your sauna experience. Our staff is happy to help you choose the best type of heat for you.

Far Infrared Sauna Heat

Far Infrared sauna heats the body directly, not the air. Its heat comes from advanced, infrared panels on the walls providing a longer, deeper heat and detoxification while elevating the room to about 135 degrees. This approach offers therapeutic benefits by detoxifying chemicals and releasing inflammation.

Finnish Sauna Heat

Finnish (traditional) sauna with lava rocks over a heat source brings the room to over 150 degrees. This type of heat is great for building your immune system and detoxing your body.

If you choose the Finnish heat, we provide eucalyptus water to pour over the rocks to add aromatherapy steam to the room. This heat source boosts the immune system and supports respiratory health.
