SPA GUIDELINES
At Imzadi, our goal is to create a healing, forest bathing experience with a focus on mindfulness and connection to your inner-self, to each other, and the land. We strive to provide a safe and comfortable experience for all guests, and will work to accommodate any accessibility or special needs.
Please review the following spa use guidelines, and note that we are still in our “Soft Opening” phase and rules and guidelines might change.
WHAT TO BRING:
-
Communal Sessions: Swimsuits are required. No shoes or clothing (other than swimsuits) inside the sauna.
-
Private Sessions: Clothing is optional.
-
Bring two towels. One small towel to sit on in the sauna, and one to dry off with.
-
Towel rentals are available at $3 / towel.

Sandals or river shoes/sandals are recommended. Pathways and common areas are mulch and gravel.
-
Bring a refillable water bottle.
-
AGE: The spa is currently only allowing adults (18+) at this time.
PETS: No pets are allowed on the property.
BEHAVIOR:
-
The spa is a non-sexual healing experience. Sexual activity is prohibited.
-
During communal sessions, touching is also prohibited. We want to create a safe environment for all participants.
-
Respect the forest, plants, animals, and trees. Stay on paths and enjoy our efforts to be stewards of this sacred land.

-
Feel free to photograph the spa and forest, but refrain from photography in the parking lot, around the shop, or of the private residence.
-
During private rentals, the use of a speaker inside and around the sauna is allowed, but please keep volumes at low levels. We recommend you come and enjoy the sounds of the river, fire, and forest instead.
CLEANLINESS:

Take a cleansing shower before your sauna session. We do not want to introduce scents or lotions to the sauna environment.

Rinse before using the cold plunge to maintain water cleanliness for multiple people.
-
Sit on a towel in the sauna.
-
Natural soap is provided in the outdoor shower. Please do not use other soaps in our facilities.
SAFETY:
-
Imzadi Sauna is primarily a self-guided environment. Please use the facilities mindfully and at your own risk. We reserve the right to check-in at any time during your time on the property.
-
Access to the river is variable based on season and weather. The river can be extremely dangerous during weather events and high seasonal flows. Do not cross signs identifying closed access.
-
If the river is accessible, please use EXTREME CAUTION, as the rocks can be very slippery. River sandals / shoes are recommended.
-
SAUNA USE:
-
Avoid using the sauna if you are pregnant, have heart or respiratory problems, or are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
-
Listen to your body and leave the sauna immediately if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or unwell.
-
Start with short sessions of 5-10 minutes for beginners. Gradually increase time as tolerated, up to a maximum of 20 minutes.
-
Alternate between time in the sauna, cold plunge/shower, and resting outside.
-
Drink plenty of water.
-
-
If you have been given permission to load the wood stove, please be EXTREMELY careful not to burn yourself. Imzadi is not responsible for injuries related to operating the wood stove. We are happy to come every ~40 mins to maintain the fire and temperature.
