Sauna Etiquette
-
Enter and leave quickly and quietly - minimise heat loss and keep it relaxing.
-
Respect the dress code - Remember we're in England! Unless a private booking, please ensure swim wear is worn.
-
Use a towel - For hygiene please use a towel to sit or lie down on. It will also be more comfortable, acting as a buffer between your skin and the hot wood.
-
Ask before pouring water on the rocks - When you pour water on the sauna’s heated rocks, it creates a powerful burst of hot and soothing steam. It feels amazing. But some people don’t like it.
-
So before you pour water on the sauna rocks, ask everyone in the sauna if that’s okay. You need unanimous consent for this one.
-
Don't Listen to music - this is a relaxing experience. No one wants to listen to your phone or what's coming through your headphones.
-
Leave all electronics outside - Apart from steam not doing electronics any good. As above, this is a relaxing experience!
-
Make room for others - We have designed our sauna to be roomy and never overbook it. Sitting down takes priority over laying down. So make room for others.
-
Don't exercise in the sauna - Saunas are for relaxing. Leave your yoga or press ups outside!
-
No grooming - Hair or even nails. Just relax. Groom yourself outside.
