What is an infrared sauna?
An infrared sauna emit’s light that penetrate the cells of your body, heating your body at a cellular level, helping your body detoxify, giving you a deeper cleansing experience. After a 45 minute session clients notice an improvement in their skin, their energy levels, and improved sleep. Find out more about the benefits of infrared saunas below.

How It Works
You’ve likely been in a traditional Finnish sauna... for about 20 mins...right?! Because that’s about the length of time you could withstand the heat in the room, BUT, an infrared sauna is different and much easier to tolerate for a longer time (45 minutes).
A traditional Finnish sauna works by using hot rocks to heat the air in the room, then you get hot ‘cause the air is hot.
An infrared sauna uses infrared rays (the good part of the sun’s rays ) that penetrate the skin and raise your core body temperature.
Infrared heats YOU and not the room, so you’ll be able to stay in the sauna for longer and get a really good sweat on.
By the way, we have a traditional Finnish sauna too - it’s in a room with an ice bath for contrast therapy and you can find out more about that here.
Our Clear Light saunas are all full spectrum, which means that three infrared wavelengths are emitted: near, mid and far.
Why do you need all three? Good question! Well each one is good for something different.
Near Infrared
Near infrared wavelengths mostly penetrate the skin, improving skin cell health, the renewal of skin, tissue growth and wound healing.
When you go to a skin care clinic and they use LED light therapy on your blemishes - that’s near infrared they are using.
Mid Infrared
Mid infrared wavelengths penetrate deeper into the body than near infrared and are therefore good for increasing circulation and blood flow.
When used on a consistent basis, mid infrared sauna therapy has been shown to significantly increase blood flow and reduce muscle and joint pain. Healing can occur faster because mid infrared penetrates deeper into soft tissue where inflammation occurs, increasing the blood flow to that area.
Far Infrared
Far infrared is the longest wavelength which penetrates the fat cells causing vasodilation, where the fat cells vibrate to expel toxins, resulting in the greatest levels of detoxification and aids in weight-loss.
Mental Health Benefits
Studies have shown that regular sauna use can improve mood and reduce levels of depression and anxiety.
There are peer reviewed studies to suggest that infrared sauna use can lower the risk of dementia, reduce symptoms of chronic fatigue, and improve focus and attention.
Physical Health Benefits
Near infrared is good for healthy cell immunity, wound healing, skin purification and pain relief.
Mid infrared is good for pain relief, improved circulation and weight loss.
Far infrared is good for weight loss, detoxification, better circulation, reduction in blood pressure and relaxation.
What To Expect
Here at Clear Mind Studio we have three en-suite infrared sauna rooms. All are in private rooms which you can book solo or bring extra friends for $15 each. Sharing the sauna with a friend is a great way to catch up without distractions. For more than 1x person we recommend booking the 1-3 or 1-4 person saunas for that extra room.
Our sauna room bookings are exclusive, meaning that when you book the room YOU will be the only person using the sauna at that time (plus your friends if you choose to bring them along).
We provide eco towels, water and all our sauna rooms have en-suite showers, so you don’t have to leave the room to shower after.
You can simply lock the door, relax and enjoy your infrared experience.
An infrared sauna is also a great way to unwind before or after your floatation session, yoga class or massage, resulting in a deeper healing experience as your body and mind relax. Check out packages here!
Afterward you can relax and reflect in our cosy Tea Lounge with a cup of delicious local artisan herbal tea (it’s organic too).
Take some time to journal, read or just sit and enjoy your newly glowing skin!
