Another way to create a soothing self-care haven is to create an area outside your sauna for a meditation station. Consider a comfortable couch, chair, or oversized floor pillows for meditating, journaling, and reflecting. Add a few lamps with dimmers so you can set the mood.
Outside your sauna, add a shelf where you can stack clean, fluffy towels. Consider setting up a hydration station. For example, add a water dispenser and set up a table with a countertop ice maker. Keep fresh fruit or produce such as lemon, lime, orange, watermelon, and cucumber on hand in a mini fridge. Then slice your favorite combination of these to add to your water cup before stepping into your sauna, or enjoy a platter of them after your session.
Your sauna room can be an investment in your overall well-being and enhance your life in many ways. Simply having a special space in your home designed for wellness can add great quality to your life and improve how you spend your time.
Checklist: Tips for preparing for your solo sauna session
Set the mood: Create and select a playlist or download an episode of your favorite show.
Get comfy: Wear loose clothing or a bathing suit, or shed your clothing entirely and wrap yourself loosely in clean, soft towels.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before your session. Bring some in with you to enjoy during your session, and be sure to continue to drink more water after your session is complete.
Tell a friend: Before enjoying your personal sauna session, be sure a loved one knows your location to be on the safe side.
Select your serenity: Customize your sauna session with red light, VRT, Chromotherapy, and more to fully immerse yourself in the benefits of your Jacuzzi® Infrared Sauna.
Start slowly: Set your time accordingly. When starting out, limit your sauna session to a few minutes at a time. As you acclimate to the experience, you can add time to your sauna sessions.
Sit back and relax: You can sit close to the soothing infrared heat against the built-in ergonomic backrest or lay along the bench for total relaxation. Make sure you are comfortable and allow your mind to clear of any worries.
Towel off: Wipe yourself free of perspiration throughout your session with clean, dry towels. Bring extra into your sauna with you to sit on and place on the floor to absorb excess perspiration and help prevent slipping.
Continue making healthy choices: Enjoy a wholesome meal with nutrient-dense vegetables after your session. This will help you replenish any minerals lost to perspiration during your session. Don’t forget to drink plenty of refreshing water throughout the day.
A personal infrared sauna can be an incredible addition to your home and part of your wellness routine. Spending time in your sauna can not only provide you with physical benefits, but it can also help you unwind and release the worries of your day. In the name of your well-being, consider a Jacuzzi® Infrared Sauna, which offers the benefits of infrared, red light, VRT, and Chromotherapy.
