About this Event
Embrace the softness and strength found in silence, while connecting with the power of your breath, as you surrender into a guided sunset sauna session. All guests will be invited to honor silence by not talking or socializing throughout. You will be guided through three hot and cold rounds, each round beginning together in the sauna with steam and 5-8 mins of guided meditation and breathing.
Cyndi is a Certified Yoga Teacher and Thai Yoga Bodywork practitioner that finds deep joy and honor in holding space for others to explore embodiment through noticing their bodies and connecting with their breath. Inclusion and accessibility are at the core of their offerings, which are informed by their own practice of yoga, qigong and meditation, plus their healing journey through four accidents all resulting in whiplash and head injury.
Please make sure you arrive with plenty of time to park and walk down to the beach to ensure we can begin the session on time at 7:30pm. Thank you.

SAUNA COOPERATIVE CODE
The Sauna Cooperative Code has been identified to ensure that all guests have an enjoyable sauna and can be immersed in the health benefits of the activity, and can be summarized as follows:
At the 612 Sauna Co-op, our intention is to support a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive space to enjoy the health and community benefits of sauna.
We are aware of ourselves, each other, and our surroundings to ensure a safe environment for all sauna guests. We are aware of our own health and safety, and we are also aware of the health of other guests.
We and our guests believe that everyone is equally worthy of love, respect, and dignity. We believe that differences of race, age, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, gender variance, body shapes and sizes, nationalities, (and beyond) are simply part of being human and all are welcome here.
In short, we endeavor to treat each other as a family—one that loves and respects each other. Thank you for helping us create a safe and comfortable space for all.
SAUNA TIPS
Please arrive hydrated so you can enjoy the full benefits of your time on the bench.
Sauna promotes healthy blood flow by activation of the thermoregulatory system. Practicing full “rounds” will provide the full health benefits. A round consists of 10-20 mins in the hot room (your body will tell you when your time is up), followed by a cool-down period outside. Letting your body cool down between rounds by relaxing and cooling off at the rinse station will increase your circulation and provide the full physical and mental benefit of the experience. A typical sauna session consists of 3-4 rounds of this hot-cold treatment.
