Whether you’re stepping into an infrared sauna or a traditional Finnish sauna, the goal is the same: gentle heat, deep relaxation, and a healthier, calmer you. If you’re new to sauna use—or just want to get more out of each session—this guide walks you through the basics in a simple, approachable way.
Think of it like warming up before a workout—simple, but surprisingly helpful.
Infrared saunas warm your body directly at lower, more comfortable temperatures.
Most people enjoy 110–130°F.
Infrared heat works through deep tissue warming, so you don’t need extreme temperatures.
Sit back, breathe slowly, and let the gentle warmth do the work.
If you ever feel lightheaded, simply step out and cool down.
Traditional saunas heat the air around you, creating that classic, invigorating sauna experience.
Most users enjoy 160–185°F.
If you’re new, start lower and increase gradually.
Pour a ladle of water over the rocks to create steam.
This boosts humidity and gives you that signature “sauna wave” of heat.
Löyly is a Finnish word, commonly pronounced “LOI-loo” (rhyming with "boy-loo") or “Luh-lu”.
It refers to the steam and heat generated when water is poured over hot sauna stones.
Traditional saunas are all about rhythm—heat, cool, repeat.
Cooling down is just as important as heating up.
Your heart rate will settle, and that classic “sauna glow” will kick in.
If you feel dizzy, overheated, or uncomfortable, step out and cool down. Everyone’s heat tolerance is different—and that’s perfectly okay.
Many people report better sleep, reduced muscle tension, and a deep sense of relaxation after a sauna session.
