South Bay Scarborough
Pop Up Wild Sauna
We gather in the sauna. It takes about 10 minutes for your body to fully warm up and start sweating. You stay in as long as is comfortable. We are very careful to keep everyone safe and as comfortable as possible in the heat.
The North Sea
Cold plunger
In between sauna rounds it is a good idea to cool off. To cool off you can either sit outside the sauna or you might like to take a cold water plunge. We would advise going into the water gently, incrementally, so that your body can get used to it. Once you in in up to your waist, take a deep breath through your nose and as you exhale slowly through your mouth gently submerge your body so you are sitting on the floor. There is no need to go out of your depth to get the full plunge. The benefits of the cold plunge are many- i will tell you all about it in the sauna! You take a dip in the sea at your own risk and discretion.

The beautiful sheltered bay
We are located in South Bay. South bay has great shelter from the northerly swells and depending on the wind we can move the sauna tent around. In North winds we are found up near the lifeboat station. In South winds we are located near the Spa Wall.
Trip Tips
Bring a bottle of water
You sweat more than you think and will need to replace those fluids. It is a good idea to add a little sea salt to your water to replace electrolytes.
Wear Cozzie underneath warm baggy clothes
You will be getting straight in the sauna so to maximise time just have your swimmers underneath. When you are done you will be a bit sticky with water and so it is a good idea to dress in baggy clothes,

What Should I Do in a Sauna?
We recommend simply doing the sauna what traditional sauna-ers have long done: nothing. Just sit there. Let your mind go. Do some reflecting while your thinking is still sharp; meditate when your mind starts going blank. Just be.
We will have a guided meditation and breathwork if the feeling is right.
It is also Ok to chat- this is your session and gift to yourself.
What Should I Do After I Sauna?
During your sauna session, you’ll lose a lot of water through your sweat — up to four cups during a twenty-minute session! Be sure to rehydrate with plenty of water afterward. Supplement with electrolytes as needed.
We would also recommend to just go easy on yourself. You will be in a state of high vibration and relaxation. You want to be in that state as long as possible so stay away from stressful or negative situations, people or media.
What Should I Bring?
Bottle of water. Towl. Bag for putting clothes in while you are in the sauna. Dress in something loose and comfy with bathing costume underneath. We are just in bathing costume in the sauna then in and out of the sea (if you wish). Afterwards it's a case of getting back into your clothes again a bit wet, so consider a dressing gown/towel/ dry robe for modesty.
