Benefits of a Barrel Sauna

Saunas have long been celebrated for their physical and mental health benefits. Here’s why a session in the A-Sauna could be just what you need:
• Muscle Recovery: The deep, penetrating heat from the sauna helps reduce muscle tension and promotes recovery after intense physical activity.
• Detoxification: Sweating is your body’s natural way of flushing out toxins. A sauna session boosts this process, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
• Stress Relief: The calming environment of the sauna encourages relaxation, helping to lower cortisol levels and melt away stress.

Take the Plunge: Why Cold Therapy Complements the Sauna

Located steps from Fourmile Creek, the A-Sauna offers the ultimate contrast therapy with an invigorating cold plunge. Cold water immersion can:
• Boost Circulation: Alternating between heat and cold stimulates blood flow, improving circulation and oxygen delivery to muscles.
• Enhance Recovery: Cold plunges reduce inflammation and help ease soreness after physical exertion.
• Sharpen Your Focus: The rush of endorphins from a cold plunge can leave you feeling mentally refreshed and alert.
For the full experience, alternate between the sauna and the creek to enjoy the benefits of both.
