Please take a minute to read through our sauna rules and etiquette before coming to your session:
All sauna users must bring 2 towels: one to sit on in the sauna and one to clean off with after your session.
Swim wear should be worn at all times during your session. No nudity is permitted.
Before entering the sauna, everyone must either shower or cold plunge in our ice baths.
All sauna users must also bring a bottle of water with them to their session. It is important to hydrate before during and after your session
It is important you do not wear any creams or lotions, as this will seep through onto the benches and damage them.
We recommend you spend no more than 15-20 minutes in the sauna at any one time – Leave the sauna if you start to feel uncomfortable, nauseous, dizzy or lightheaded. We also recommend that you take at least 10 mins out of the sauna between sittings.
When using unmanned please follow the operator’s instructions for putting water on the hot rocks – Using the ladle and bucket provided (not your own water from a bottle) gently administer the water onto the rocks keeping your forearm back from the stove itself as steam will rise. This should be done intermittently (every 20 mins) to ensure the temperature does not increase too quickly, and only once others are seated and not standing. Please do not put anything else on to the rocks.
When manned your operator will pour the water onto the rocks and place wood into the stove.
Respect others you are sharing with – Make sure to check with other users when you are wanting to increase the temperature by putting water on the rocks.
Before using the ice baths please make sure to rinse off. This will help keep our water as clean as possible.
The access point must be left clear at all times to allow users to exit safely and swiftly if necessary.
Enter/ Exit the Sauna in a careful manner to avoid any trips and or falls. Our space can be limited and floor wet, no foot wear should be worn inside the sauna and make sure to close the door and always give others space to move around safely, especially when sitting close to the stove.
Do not eat, drink alcohol, smoke or take drugs before entering or during your Sauna session.
Make sure to get changed prior to your booked time slot, this will allow you to make the most of the time you have.
Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Eastwood Forest Sauna reserve the right to refuse admission for any reason that may be deemed a health and safety risk.
Enjoy your session!
