Traditional Sauna
At Immersion, our traditional sauna provides an authentic, time-tested experience that’s rooted in centuries of wellness culture. Heated by a high-temperature stove and filled with natural cedar, our sauna creates a dry, intense heat that can reach up to 190°F. This environment encourages deep sweating, increases heart rate, and mimics the cardiovascular effects of moderate exercise. The addition of steam—created by pouring water over heated rocks—adds to the ritual, enhancing relaxation, clearing the respiratory system, and promoting a sense of mental clarity. At Immersion, the traditional sauna is more than a heat session; it’s a full-body reset designed to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
While infrared saunas have gained popularity for their convenience and lower temperatures, traditional saunas offer a more immersive and therapeutic experience. Unlike infrared saunas, which heat the body directly with light waves, traditional saunas heat the air, creating a more intense and enveloping sweat that helps eliminate toxins more effectively. The high heat also stimulates heat shock proteins, known to support cellular repair and longevity. Many users also report a greater post-session endorphin release and a deeper feeling of renewal with traditional sauna use. At Immersion, we believe in the power of heat as nature intended—pure, intense, and deeply restorative.
Infrared Sauna
At Immersion, our infrared sauna offers a modern, gentle approach to heat therapy designed for those seeking deep cellular recovery and a more accessible wellness experience. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air, infrared saunas use light waves to directly warm your body from within, allowing for a lower ambient temperature (typically 120–140°F) while still promoting a profound sweat. This makes the infrared experience more tolerable for longer sessions, ideal for those who may be sensitive to high heat. The deep-penetrating warmth helps reduce inflammation, ease joint and muscle pain, improve circulation, and support skin health, making it a favorite among athletes and wellness seekers alike.
Infrared saunas offer several unique benefits over traditional saunas, particularly when it comes to targeting recovery and detoxification at a cellular level. Because the heat penetrates more deeply, it can stimulate the lymphatic system and enhance detoxification without the cardiovascular intensity of higher temperatures. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, or those new to sauna use. Infrared also supports parasympathetic nervous system activation, encouraging a calm, meditative state that promotes deeper relaxation. At Immersion, our infrared sauna is designed to complement your health journey with targeted healing, comfort, and ease.
