Preparing for your first saunagus session is a great way to ensure you make the most of the experience, both physically and mentally. Saunagus is a holistic sauna practice that involves heat therapy, aromatherapy, and mindful breathing.
How to handle a Saunagus at Plugin
Prepare yourself before you come. Remember to drink plenty of water up to a saunagus and get something to eat. It is a good idea not to eat directly before or atleast a heavy meal just before. Get here with time to spare. We recommend arriving 15 before, but if it is your first time trying Saunagus or trying it at Plugin, can it help to arrive a bit earlier to have time to find your way around the zone, check in, maybe talk to the receptionist and get ready for the sauna session.
The heat in the sauna can feel different depending on where you are located in the sauna. In a sauna with one level, the temperature is often a tiny bit lower next to the door and in saunas with more than one level, it will get hotter the higher you sit in the sauna. Please always bring a towel to sit on in the sauna.
You can use your breathing to guide yourself through the heat. You can handle more than you think! Our facilitators are always there to guide and help you through a saunagus session.
Between the three sauna sessions, there is time to cool down under the shower or with a dip in the cold plunges. Please shower off before going into the cold tubs.
After a saunagus, you are welcome to stay and socialize. Sometimes, if there is not scheduled saunagus in the sauna right after, you can hang around for a bit in the heat. Give your body time to cool down and relax after a Saunagus. Drink water immediately afterward to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes. You might also want to apply moisturizer to your skin, as the heat can be drying.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your first saunagus session is comfortable, rejuvenating, and effective. It is a great way to boost your fitness routine, improve mental clarity, and reduce stress, so take the time to prepare for a truly transformative experience.
What to bring
Remember to bring your own towels, swimming trunks and a water bottle. It can also be a good idea to bring a robe, slippers and maybe some snacks. It is required to sit on a towel in the sauna, and it is a good idea to bring an extra one to dry off with, because the one you sit on ends up wet. It is also required to wear swimming trunks or a bathing suit in the Plugin sauna. We have changing rooms where you can change before and after, and store your belongings during a saunagus. It is important to remember a water bottle, so you can stay hydrated. It is possible to buy a Plugin bottle at the reception, if you forget yours or want a new one.
