Answers to Your Burning Questions

Whether attending a pop-up or joining a private session, The Ritual is a guided experience through heat, cold, and rest.  All guests must complete a digital waiver before participating.

Our approach to contrast therapy is rooted in rhythm and restoration.  Here’s how the Ritual Cycle flows:

• HEAT– Step into the sauna to elevate your core body temperature.  Most guests begin with 5–15 minutes.  Listen to your body.
• COOL– Embrace cold exposure (if desired) via our clean, intentional cold plunge, the bucket pour, or other forms of cooling down.
• REST– Let your nervous system recalibrate.  Sit quietly.    Hydrate.  Allow your body to return to balance before beginning your next round.
• REPEAT– Move intuitively.  Repeat the cycle as many times as your body welcomes.  Most guests enjoy 2–3 rounds.

Note: Always consult a physician before participating if you have underlying health conditions.

Each body is different.   We recommend sauna sessions in rounds — typically 3 cycles of 10–15 minutes in the hot room, followed by rest and cool-down.  The first round may feel the most intense as your body acclimates.  Listen to your body.  You’re welcome to step out, cool down, hydrate, and return as you feel called.

Our mobile sauna comfortably seats 8 guests at a time.  For larger groups, we thoughtfully guide participants through a staggered experience, allowing everyone to enjoy the full heat + cold cycle without overcrowding.  This ensures each guest receives the attention and space needed for a truly restorative session.

Infrared saunas use light to warm your body at lower temps, while traditional saunas heat the air and stones for the classic hot, steamy experience.
