Shared Sauna Space or Private Sauna

About Savasana

🌿 Our Philosophy

At Savasana, we embrace the art of self-rejuvenation. Inspired by the final resting pose in yoga, our space invites you to pause, breathe, and replenish. Nestled beside the flowing river, our sauna and cold plunge rituals are designed to harmonize body and mind, offering a holistic experience that nurtures both physical vitality and mental clarity.

🌅 Your Invitation to Pause

Whether you're seeking a moment of solitude or a shared experience with loved ones, Savasana by the River offers a tranquil retreat to unwind, heal, and reconnect. Let the gentle flow of the river and the warmth of the sauna guide you to a place of inner peace.

  • 🔥 The Sauna: Warmth for the Soul

    Step into our wood-fired sauna, where gentle heat envelops you.


    Sweating opens pores, flushing out toxins and leaving your skin radiant.


    Heat-induced vasodilation enhances blood flow, supporting cardiovascular wellness.


    The soothing warmth reduces cortisol levels, easing tension and fostering a calm mind.

  • ❄️ The Cold Plunge: Invigoration from Within

    Transitioning into the embrace of cool water benefits:


    Cold immersion reduces muscle soreness and inflammation, aiding in quicker recovery.


    Stimulation of white blood cell production, strengthening the body's defence mechanisms.


    The shock of cold exposure releases endorphins and norepinephrine, uplifting mood and sharpening focus.

  • 🌊 The Ritual: Heat, Cold, and Harmony

    Alternating between the sauna's warmth and the water's coolness creates a dynamic contrast that:


    Promotes the cycle of vasodilation and vasoconstriction to enhance blood flow and nutrient delivery.


    Combines the muscle-relaxing benefits of heat with the inflammation-reducing effects of cold.


    Offers a sensory experience which fosters mindfulness, reducing stress and enhancing emotional balance.
