A community sauna is a public space that facilitates thermal cycling. Community saunas are characteristically welcoming and inclusive spaces. Here at Circulate we strive to create an environment where everyone can deeply relax, connect with others, and feel a sense of belonging. All bodies are welcome!
Our community sauna sessions are led by a trained Community Host. Our hosts will facilitate your session with a careful, trauma-informed approach to ensure your comfort, safety, and well-being.
The thermal cycle means moving between hot and cold temperatures. This improves blood flow and helps your body relax. Read more about it here.
A community-hosted session is a gentle, supportive environment where you can relax, connect, and tune into your felt body and senses. Read more about it here to learn more.
Open Flow sessions are self-directed for those with an existing practice and are at ease with the thermal cycle.
