The short answer
What is a private sauna?
A private sauna is one you book just for yourself, so nobody else shares the bench. At Conscious Body Recovery you rent the whole suite by the session, 25, 55 or 85 minutes: an infrared sauna, a cold plunge and your own shower, towels included. Come alone or bring a guest. Studios in San Diego and Temecula.
How it works
Rent the suite by the session.
No membership needed. Pick a studio, a length and a time online, then let yourself in when it's your turn. Bring a swimsuit and some water; the towels are already there.

Why a sauna, and why a private one.
Regular sauna use is one of the best-studied heat habits there is. Here's what the research says, and what a room of your own adds.
01 · Relaxation and sleep
Downtime that carries into the night
What the research says
In a survey of 482 regular sauna users, relaxation and stress relief were the top reasons to go, and 83.5% reported sleeping better after a session (Hussain et al., Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 2019).
At CBR
No strangers, no small talk, nobody waiting for your spot. Book an evening slot (studios are open into the evening on weekdays) and head straight home.
02 · Heart health
Heart health research
What the research says
A 15-year study of 1,688 men and women linked sauna use four to seven times a week with a lower risk of dying from heart disease than once a week (Laukkanen et al., BMC Medicine, 2018). It's observational and used traditional saunas, so it shows a link, not proof.
At CBR
A membership covers up to one session a day, which makes a regular habit simple.

03 · Circulation
Softer arteries, lower pressure
What the research says
After a single 30-minute sauna session, 102 adults with at least one heart risk factor had lower blood pressure and less arterial stiffness than before they went in (Laukkanen et al., Journal of Human Hypertension, 2018).
At CBR
That drop is also why you should stand up slowly after a long round.
04 · Longevity
Longevity research
What the research says
A 2024 review of heat therapy research found Finnish-style sauna has the most consistent evidence of any passive heat therapy, linking it with mental wellbeing, sleep and longevity (Laukkanen et al., Temperature, 2024).
At CBR
Our saunas are infrared, which feel gentler than a Finnish sauna. Having the room to yourself makes it easy to come back often.
05 · The big picture
A habit with research behind it
What the research says
A systematic review of 40 clinical studies with 3,855 participants found most reported health benefits from regular dry sauna use, while calling for bigger, better trials (Hussain and Cohen, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2018).
At CBR
Start with one session a week, see how you feel, and build from there.
This is what studies suggest, not a promise, and a sauna isn't a treatment for any condition. Most long-term research used traditional saunas. If you're pregnant or have a heart or blood pressure condition, check with your doctor before you book.

Bring someone
A sauna for two.
Add a guest when you book and the suite is yours to share. One guest is $20 on top of your session.
- A different kind of date. Heat, cold and an hour of actual conversation.
- Catching up with a friend. No table to wait for, no check, no rush.
- Training partners. Same workout, same plunge, same bragging rights.
The sauna has room for three on the bench, and you'll take turns in the plunge, which is half the fun. Booking for someone else? A gift card covers a session, and recovering together has more ideas for two.
First time
First visit, no guesswork.
You're on your own in the suite, which is the point. A few things that help.
- 1
Arrive a few minutes early
Your time starts at your booked slot, so a small buffer means more time in the heat.
- 2
Watch the clock
Keep sauna rounds around 15 to 20 minutes. There's a clock on the wall, so your phone can stay in your bag.
- 3
Start gentle
A shorter first round, and a thirty-second plunge if you try it at all.
- 4
Stand up slowly
After the heat, take a moment before you get up and walk across the room.
- 5
Leave it how you found it
Hang up your towel on the way out. The suite gets reset for the next guest.
What's inside
What you get behind the door.
Infrared sauna
Room for three on the bench, up to about 170°F at its warmest.
Cold plunge
Your own tub, kept at 45 to 49°F.
Private shower
Rinse between rounds or at the end, in the same room.
Towels and amenities
Fresh towels stacked and ready, plus the basics.
Your lighting
A remote changes the sauna's light color, so the mood is up to you.
Your door
From start to finish, the room is yours. Nobody walks in.
Two studios

Can I bring someone with me?

Is the sauna really private?
Yes. From your start time to your end time, the suite is yours. Nobody comes in mid-session, and there's no shared bench, no locker room and no line for the plunge.
Can I book a private sauna for a date?
Absolutely. Book 85 minutes, add your guest at checkout, and you'll have time for a few rounds and a real conversation.

Yes. It's there if you want it. Stay with the heat the whole session, or come mostly for the plunge. The booking is the same either way.
Can I bring a group?
The suite is built for small numbers: you plus up to two guests. For a team or office outing, ask us about corporate bookings.
How far ahead do I need to book?
Whenever suits you, including the same day if a time is open. San Diego has one suite and Temecula has two, so if your time is taken at one studio, check the other.
