Guided sessions are instructor-led sauna experiences that typically include three rounds of sauna, with optional cold plunges and time to rest and rehydrate between each round. Most sessions last about 60 to 75 minutes.During each sauna round, a trained sauna guide leads an Aufguss ritual using steam, essential oils, towel waiving, and music to create a unique experience for the group. Each session has its own style and intensity, so newer guests are encouraged to choose a beginner-friendly or lower-intensity option when booking.You can read about each session’s format, intensity, and theme on the sessions page.

An Open Sit is a flexible, self-guided contrast-therapy visit. Instead of following a guided group ritual, you can move between the sauna, cold plunge, and rest areas at your own pace.Open Sits are ideal if you prefer a quieter, more independent experience, want to stay on your own routine, or are visiting with friends and want time to relax and socialize between rounds. There is no formal Aufguss ceremony or set group schedule.You’re welcome to take as many sauna, cold-plunge, and rest rounds as feel right for your body during your reserved visit. Start gradually, listen to your body, and take extra rest whenever needed.

Every guided session includes sauna rounds, rest time, and the option to cold plunge, but the heat level, music, aromas, and overall energy vary by session. Choose based on your comfort with heat and the kind of experience you want.First-timers / gentler heat: Start with Morning Citrus, which is specifically beginner-friendly and ends with a cold plunge, or Evening Unwind for softer heat and a more relaxing feel. Cleansing Sage is also a good fit if you want a longer, calming herbal experience. Moderate / immersive experiences: Try Forest Sauna for grounding woodsy scents and immersive sound, Reggae Roots for a mellow music-forward session, or Sisu Steam for a Finnish-inspired ritual focused on resilience and renewal. Intense / experienced guests: Choose Sauna Electronica for high heat with electronic music, Nordic Roots for high heat and an even colder plunge, or Banya Sit if you are comfortable with very high heat—this is our hottest offering at 200°F+. Special events: Full Moon Sauna is a themed gathering whose exact format and intensity can vary, so check the event description before booking. If you prefer to set your own pace rather than join a guided class, book an Open Sit; it includes access to the saunas, plunge, showers, and lounge for either one or two hours. Happy Hour is also an Open Sit, with music and a 15-minute Aufguss at the end.When in doubt, begin with Morning Citrus or Evening Unwind, take breaks whenever you need them, and remember that cold plunging is always optional. Which part of the experience matters most to you: gentler heat, a music-driven atmosphere, or a stronger heat-and-cold challenge?
