The sauna

Sisu

SEE-soo · Finnish

Quiet grit. The resolve to sit with discomfort, and come out better for it.

Book your sauna window

Start it
  1. Head to the sauna at the start of your booked window, along the side path from your entrance.
  2. Power on. Press the power button on the control panel beside the door.
  3. Set it. Temperature to 90°C, timer to 60 minutes. About 30 minutes to heat.
  4. When you are done, switch the panel off and close the door.

The panel buttons can be finicky. Press firmly and hold for a second. If it will not cooperate, message us.

The ritual
  1. Heat, 10 to 20 minutes. Ladle a little water on the stones for löyly, the wave of steam. Ladle only, no bottles. First time? Start with 10.
  2. Cold, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Cold shower, a cold bath with ice from the freezer, or in winter, lie back in the snow.
  3. Rest, 15 to 20 minutes. Robe on, water bottle in hand, in the reading chair.
  4. Repeat two or three times.

Drink water before and after. Skip the sauna if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or have been drinking. Get out the moment you feel dizzy.
