Infrared Sauna

Yes. Infrared therapy has been used therapeutically for decades in physiotherapy clinics, hospital burn units, and neonatal care. Far infrared is from the safest end of the light spectrum and is a form of energy the human body itself generates and responds to naturally. It contains no ultraviolet radiation and you cannot be sunburnt in an infrared sauna. If you have haemophilia, MS, are pregnant, or have a pacemaker, please consult your specialist before booking.

Significantly. Our Clearlight Yoga Sanctuary is a clinical-grade full spectrum sauna producing 1,000 watts of near, mid and far infrared — 25 times the output of most competitors. Every session is booked privately — you will never share our sauna with a stranger. The suite includes a waterfall shower, complimentary electrolysed water, and a personalised protocol conversation before every session. The experience and the therapeutic outcome are in a different category to public or gym saunas entirely.

No. Infrared light is not ultraviolet radiation. It produces no burning effect and carries none of the skin damage risks associated with UV exposure.

This depends on your goal, and we will help you choose the right protocol when you arrive. As a guide: lower temperatures (around 45°C) for longer durations activate deep detoxification pathways. Higher temperatures (around 60°C) for shorter durations prioritise heat shock protein production and cardiovascular recovery. Hotter is not always better, the right temperature is the one that matches your intention for the session.

Whatever you are comfortable in, underwear or swimwear is most common. We provide a towel to place between you and the cedar bench, and one towel for showering. Additional towels are $5.

Often after a treatment you will have perspired toxins from the body so a rinse-off may be necessary unless you plan on heading off to the beach or home for a proper shower. We have a shower in our sauna rooms that you are more than welcome to use after your session and towels to dry off. 

We ask you arrive hydrated prior to your session (approx 1litre 1 hour prior to your session is adequate). We’ll get you to do a health waiver prior to you going into the sauna. You will undress and enter the sauna (which will be pre-heated). You will be given water, a towel and instructions on the use of the sauna. At that time you will sit down inside the sauna, get yourself situated and begin the heating up process. You can have the light on or off, or you can listen to music or even read a book. Some people simply choose to be quiet and meditate while they’re having a treatment, our Sauna’s are spacious enough to do some gentle Yoga or have a lovely heat assisted stretch.

Arrive well hydrated, around one litre of water in the hour before your session. We provide complimentary electrolysed hydrogen-rich water during your session. Avoid a heavy meal for two hours prior. First-time clients will complete a brief health waiver on arrival.

Most clients feel deeply relaxed, calm, and mentally clear. Many notice improved sleep quality the same evening. With consistent weekly sessions, clients report cumulative improvements in energy, skin clarity, inflammation, stress resilience and overall wellbeing.

Two to three times per week for general wellbeing and maintenance. Three to five times per week during an active health protocol. The research showing the most significant cardiovascular and longevity outcomes is in people using sauna four or more times weekly. Our membership from $56 a week makes this genuinely sustainable.

Some people who are used to detoxing, saunas and/or sweating a lot, will actually sweat from beginning to end of their session. Others who are not used to it, may take 10-20 minutes in the heat of the sauna before they begin to sweat. But eventually, everyone sweats and sweats a lot. We will provide you with water and towels for each session you have.

The beneficial side effects may include: stimulation of the immune system, cardiovascular conditioning, reduced lactic acid, weight loss, calorie expenditure, pain relief, reduced inflammation, cellulite reduction, decrease in stress levels and excretion of heavy metals. Not bad for just sitting in a Sauna!!

Yes, if you have haemophilia, MS, are pregnant, or have a pacemaker you should not use infrared sauna therapy (or at least check with your specialist before you do). If you are currently seeking medical attention and are on drugs for a specific condition please consult a physician before embarking on new therapies.

We book on the hour. Your sauna time is 30 to 45 minutes depending on your protocol, followed by time in our waterfall shower. The room is fully turned over and sanitised between every client.

Yes. The Clearlight Yoga Sanctuary comfortably accommodates up to four people. The infrared output adjusts to the bodies present so therapeutic effectiveness is maintained. All bookings are private — you will never be placed with strangers.

Not currently in Australia. We hope this changes as the clinical evidence base continues to expand and health funds broaden their view of preventative care.
