Sauna Rules & Etiquette
HYDRATE - Drink a glass of water before your session. Bring a water bottle (plastic), with you to sip on during your sauna. Try to drink 1-2 glasses of water shortly afterwards.
Keep water bottles on the floor. Don't put them on top of heaters or benches, as they get hot and can damage the surfaces.
