Your visit to äyup. sauna

Everything you need to know before your first session at äyup sauna.

How it works

Our sessions run for 50 minutes, on the hour, on select days throughout the week. Each session is limited to six guests, so you've always got space to stretch out and settle in. We run a hot-cold cycle – time in the sauna, a cold plunge or wild shower when you're ready, rest, repeat. There's no pressure to plunge. Go at your own pace.

When we're open

We run sessions on select days each week, with times and availability shown on our booking page. Sessions change with the seasons and locations, so the booking calendar is always the most up-to-date place to check. If nothing's showing for your preferred date, drop us a message – we may be able to add a session.

Where to find us

We're currently based at Clifton, just above Otley, West Yorkshire, with views across to the Chevin. Because we're a mobile sauna, our location can change – we'll always confirm the exact spot when you book. What3Words for our current site: ///roaming.scan.horseshoe.

Parking

There's parking available on site at our current Clifton location. We'll send you directions and parking details in your booking confirmation email. If we move to a new venue, parking info will be updated here and in your confirmation.

What to bring

  • Swimwear (no metal fastenings – they get hot)

  • Two towels – one to sit on in the sauna, one for drying off

  • Flip-flops or sliders

  • A water bottle (no glass, no metal)

  • Warm clothes for afterwards, especially in cooler weather

We don't currently provide towels, so bring your own. We do provide a foot wash bucket, ladle for the rocks, and a cold plunge tub.

Health and safety

Wood-fired saunas and cold water immersion are powerful. They're brilliant for most people, but not suitable for everyone. Please don't book if any of the following apply to you without speaking to your GP first:

  • High or low blood pressure, or any heart or circulatory condition

  • Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy

  • Epilepsy or diabetes

  • You're prone to dizziness or fainting

  • You take any regular medication

  • You have a pacemaker, surgical implants, or metal pins

  • Asthma or any breathing condition

Guests must be 16 or over. Under 18s need a responsible adult with them. Full terms and conditions are on our T&Cs page.

No phones in the sauna

We ask that you leave your phone outside the sauna. Partly because the heat will damage it, but mostly because this is your time to switch off. Hooks are provided for your belongings.

How to book
