Infrared Sauna

Sessions are up to 40 minutes long followed by a five minute shower (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided). Our treatment rooms are private and have space to change into your swimwear or activewear and leave your belongings.

The Sunlighten temperature ranges from 46-60°C, which is a more comfortable heat than a traditional sauna without sacrificing benefits.

Yes, our sauna comfortably seats two people. You’re welcome to bring a friend for just $25 extra, payable at the studio on the day.

• Near Infrared (NIR) is the shortest infrared wavelength and penetrates the skin’s surface and is known to support cell rejuvenation, skin renewal and wound healing
• Mid Infrared (MIR) is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue where inflammation can occur and is ideal for pain relief, muscle recovery and cardiovascular support.
• Far Infrared (FIR) is the longest wavelength and reaches deepest into the body. It helps to gently raise your core body temperature and may support detoxification and lowered blood pressure.

Most people feel deeply relaxed, lighter and more clear-headed after their session. You may also notice softer skin and a sense of calm. It’s important to remember to rehydrate afterwards to get the most out of your session.

Both have benefits but as infrared saunas use lower temperatures, someone who finds steam or traditional saunas too intense or overwhelming, are likely to prefer infrared saunas and be able to do them more regularly which can be ideal for long-term deep tissue benefits and circulation support.

Infrared sauna sessions may boost your metabolism by gently raising your core temperature and increasing circulation—similar to the effects of light cardio. Any immediate weight loss is likely to be water weight, so while an infrared sauna is not a weight loss tool, it can be a valuable complement to an active lifestyle by promoting recovery, reducing inflammation, and supporting healthy metabolic function.

We sanitise sauna surfaces with an antibacterial spray between each client.

Chromotherapy is the science of using colours to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that promote health. If you would like to infuse your infrared sauna session with chromotherapy principles, you can choose the colour of your light, just let our team know at the beginning of your session.
