Guide to using the sauna safely iglu sauna is wood-fired and extremely hot. Sauna etiquette must be adhered to at all times. When using iglu sauna you should: Ensure you are clean before entering the sauna, using the onsite showers if necessary. This keeps the sauna clean and improves your experience by opening your pores and relaxing your muscles. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during and after your visit to iglu. Sit on a towel in the sauna if you have one Remove any jewellery before entering the sauna to prevent burning. Do not touch the stove, stove door, flue chimney, sauna rocks or surrounding fire guards. They will be scorching hot and will burn. Enter and exit with care, closing the door behind you. Stay in the sauna no longer than 20 minutes at a time unless you are an experienced sauna user and know you can stay longer. We recommend 10-15 minute sessions. Do not place your own essential oils on the sauna stove or on any part of the sauna. Wear swimwear at all times. Nudity is not permitted. Respect other guests’ space and privacy. Consider other guests when pouring water on the rocks. When pouring water on the rocks, pour slowly, starting from the point furthest away from you to prevent scalding from the löyly steam.
Guide to using plunge pools safely The plunge pools are intended for cold water immersion therapy to contrast and complement the heat of the sauna. Use of plunge pools has potential health risks, including but not limited to, hypothermia, shock, or injury. The plunge pools will be roughly the same temperature as the air and will be particularly cold in winter. A thermometer will be displayed showing the temperature. When using the plunge pools you should: Shower before using the plunge pools. This prepares you for the cold water immersion and keeps them clean for other users. If you're a beginner, limit your time in the plunge pool to between 30 seconds and 5 minutes, then work your way up. If you feel dizzy, are extremely uncomfortable, start excessively shivering, or otherwise feel unwell during your ice bath, get out slowly but immediately. Take care as you enter and exit the plunge pools using the non-slip matting to avoid injury.
