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
Head to our booking page, pick a session that works, and pay online to confirm your spot. You'll get a confirmation email with directions and everything you need.
