Why Combine Infrared Sauna and Yoga

Merging full-spectrum infrared sauna therapy with yoga creates a deeply synergistic wellness experience, enhancing the benefits of both practices for the body and mind.

  • Enhanced Detoxification: Infrared heat penetrates 1.5–2 inches into soft tissue, increasing sweat production and promoting the removal of toxins such as heavy metals and environmental chemicals.
  • Greater Flexibility & Muscle Relaxation: The warmth helps muscles become more pliable, allowing for deeper stretches and safer yoga practice.
  • Improved Circulation and Metabolic Function: The combination boosts blood flow and metabolic activity, which supports cardiovascular health and muscular recovery.
  • Joint and Pain Relief: Particularly effective for individuals with arthritis, stiffness, or chronic pain; the heat relieves tension while yoga enhances mobility.
  • Deep Stress Relief: Infrared heat combined with controlled breathing and mindful movement activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality.

Sunhaven Sauna + Yoga Routine

Step 1: Prepare Your Space & Time
Choose a quiet time of day when you won’t be interrupted — mornings to energize, evenings to unwind.Set up a yoga mat either next to your Sunhaven sauna or inside it (if space allows).Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows you to stretch easily.

Step 2: Warm Up in the Sauna (10–15 minutes)
Sit inside your Sunhaven sauna and take slow, deep breaths.Let the gentle warmth loosen your muscles and calm your mind.Feel free to play soft music or follow a guided meditation if you enjoy it.

Step 3: Light Yoga Session (20–30 minutes)
Step out onto your yoga mat (or stay inside the sauna if it's roomy enough).Do gentle yoga poses like Cat-Cow, Downward Dog, Child’s Pose, or Butterfly.Hold each pose for 5–10 slow breaths. Move mindfully and listen to your body.Focus on how you feel — not how deep you stretch.

Step 4: Hydrate & Rest (5–10 minutes)
Drink warm water or lemon water to stay hydrated.Lie down, close your eyes, and rest for a few quiet minutes. Let your body absorb the calm.

Step 5: Optional Evening Wind-Down
At night, end your routine with another 10-minute sauna session.Just sit quietly in the warmth to clear your thoughts and ease into restful sleep.

Tips for Best Results:
Practice 3–4 times per week for consistent benefits.Keep your total session under 45 minutes.Try not to eat a heavy meal before or right after your routine.

The combination of Sunhaven sauna and yoga is like a gentle gift to your body and soul. No experience is needed — just a little time, a quiet space, and a willingness to care for yourself. The more you practice, the lighter your body feels, the calmer your mind becomes, and the more vibrant your life will feel.
