People come to Orchard Sauna for many reasons.
Some have sore muscles after running or gym work and want a simple way to loosen up. Others feel stressed, tired, or stuck in their head and need an hour away from phones and noise. Some come with a friend and use the time to talk in a calm place.
Common things people say they notice after a session:
their body feels looser and lighter
their mind feels calmer or “quieter”
they sleep better that night
they feel like they have pressed a reset button on the day
These are personal experiences. Yours may be different. The sauna is a tool. How it feels will depend on your body, your health, and what else is going on in your life.
The ice bath at Orchard Sauna is simple: cold water, short dips, and time to reset.
It is there for people who want a clear, sharp change in how they feel, both in body and mind.
You can use the ice bath on its own, or mix it with the sauna. Many people move between heat, cold, and rest during a single session. Others come mainly for the cold and keep it short and steady.
The sauna is usually somewhere between 70°C and 100°C. It can shift a bit with the day and with how often the door opens. At first the air can feel dry and sharp. After a few minutes, most people notice their mind quieten and their muscles start to relax. Sweat builds on the skin. Some people like to focus on slow breathing. Others sit in silence and just notice the warmth.
Heat like this can help you feel less stiff, especially if you train or sit a lot at work. It may ease tension in shoulders, back, and legs. Many people also find that it gives them a clear “line” in the day. Work and noise on one side. Heat, sweat, and calm on the other.
We do not claim to treat or cure any illness. We offer a simple way to give your body and mind a break.
You book a standard 50 minute session. When you arrive, you come in, get changed, and take a quick shower. If you want some heat first, you can start in the sauna and let your body warm up. When you are ready, you walk to the ice bath.
The water is cold. Usually somewhere between 4°C and 15°C, depending on the day and the setup. You step in slowly. At first the cold can feel strong and your breath may speed up. The aim is not to fight it, but to notice it and bring your breathing back under control. You stay for a short time, then step out, dry off a bit, and let your body warm naturally.
Most people only stay in the ice bath for a brief period, especially at the start. It might be just a few deep breaths. Some then rest, maybe sit in the sauna for a while, and decide if they want to go back for another short dip. All of this fits inside the 50 minute session. There is no set number of rounds or minutes you have to reach. The focus is on listening to your own body and stopping before you push too far.
