WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY SAUNA!

Please observe these guidelines to make the sauna time enjoyable for everyone!

1)  Absolutely no underwear, sports attire or shoes (including shower shoes) in the sauna or shower areas

2)  If you are not comfortable being naked, ask for one of our velcro wraps intended for use in the sauna. Bathing suits are not preferable but allowed for COMMUNITY sauna only

3)  Please shower before entering the sauna

4)  Please take a quick rinsing shower every time before using the cold plunge

5)  Always use a seating linen (provided by us) when in the sauna and bring it out to

the laundry basket when you are finished

6)  Your session length is maximum 120 minutes, however the sauna will be turned

over 10 minutes early in order for it to be fresh and clean for the next group.

7)  Please ask other participants before throwing water on the rocks (Löyly) and refrain from throwing several scoops at a time

8)  Try not to leave immediately after Löyly water has been thrown as this defeats the purpose and dissipates the heat for those wanting to enjoy it

9)  While we don’t expect silence in the community sauna, it is actually one of the unspoken curtesies in Finland that sauna is an opportunity for quiet rest as opposed to loud conversation, specially about work or politics

10) Drink plenty of water and take a break any time you need it - not all sauna sessions will feel the same for your body

We ask everyone to observe these guidelines to make the sauna time enjoyable for everyone.

11) Please bring your own towel. This not only reduces our impact on the environment as you can reuse your own towel again before laundering but it also helps keep our overhead more manageable thus helping us keep access to the sauna as affordable as possible.
