Sauna bathing is generally safe for healthy individuals. However, people with certain medical conditions, those who are pregnant, or anyone feeling unwell should consult a healthcare professional beforehand.

Do I need previous sauna experience?

Not at all. Sauna sessions are suitable for both beginners and experienced sauna users. We provide guidance and are happy to answer any questions before and during your session.

What are the rules?

Shower before the sauna; use of swimwear is always allowed but optional depending on the consensus of sauna guests; sit or lie on a clean towel to protect the benches; limit your time in the heat to what feels comfortable; leave immediately if you feel dizzy, unwell, or overheated;
be mindful of others and respect personal space;
