Infrared Therapy
A restorative complement to your movement practice.
Our infrared sauna sessions provide a gentle, restorative complement to movement, supporting circulation, muscle recovery, and nervous system regulation. Whether enjoyed on their own or alongside your Pilates practice, many clients use infrared therapy to recover between sessions, unwind after private instruction, or support consistency during quieter weeks.
What to Expect
Sessions take place in one of our two private infrared saunas, and are designed to feel calm, quiet, and unhurried. You’ll have space to relax, breathe, and reset, whether you’re recovering from movement or simply seeking restorative downtime.
Our Saunas
Our studio features Sunlighten mPulse® infrared saunas, which offer a full spectrum of near, mid, and far infrared technology. This allows each session to deliver balanced, customizable heat designed to support both recovery and overall well-being. Sessions are designed to feel restorative, not overwhelming. Sunlighten mPulse® saunas also include customizable chromotherapy lighting, allowing each session to feel uniquely supportive and personal.
Who Infrared Therapy Is For
Infrared therapy is ideal for clients seeking additional recovery support, stress reduction, or a gentler wellness offering alongside movement. It’s appropriate for a wide range of bodies and experience levels. No prior Pilates experience required.
What is Infrared Therapy?
Infrared therapy uses light-based heat to gently warm the body from within, supporting circulation, relaxation, and recovery. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared technology allows heat to penetrate more deeply and comfortably.
Benefits of Infrared Therapy
-
Sweat out the toxins. Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health by helping to eliminate toxic heavy metals, drug residues, and hormone disruptors. With the deepest penetration, Sunlighten saunas’ infrared helps increase blood flow and perspiration.
-
Increase metabolism and burn fat. Increasing core body heat increases calorie burn, similar to exercise. Infrared saunas also help with the elimination of toxins that cause fat storage.
-
Improve heart health. Infrared therapy can help your heart work better by exercising the heart, temporarily reducing blood pressure, and improving circulation.
-
Purify and rejuvenate your skin. Harness a scientifically proven “fountain of youth” and revitalize your skin’s appearance. Far infrared waves increase circulation and detoxify the skin, helping regenerate and cleanse cells.
-
Heating the body from the inside can improve the function of the immune system just like a fever can. Therefore, regular Sunlighten sauna use can help reduce the incidences of cold and flue, or help you recover faster from illness.
-
Repairs muscles faster. Many professional athletes use Sunlighten saunas to recover from their training and injuries. Infrared helps deliver more oxygen cells for faster repair and pain relief.

Chromotherapy
Light-based support for relaxation and nervous system balance.
Chromotherapy uses gentle, color-based light to support relaxation, mood balance, and overall well-being. Often used alongside infrared therapy, chromotherapy offers an additional layer of sensory support designed to help calm the nervous system and enhance the restorative effects of your session.
Different colors are associated with different energetic qualities, allowing clients to choose an environment that best supports how they want to feel, whether that’s grounded, relaxed, or gently energized.
