Glasgow Community Sauna

Some last minute seats have become available for today’s immersive workshop with Change Collective

An incredible offering for £26, 12:15 - 15:00

Designed to nourish you from the inside out, we’ll tend to the hidden networks that support your body every day, before getting toasty in the sauna.

Join us in an outdoor, sheltered setting to explore:
🌀Guided myofascial release
🌀Slow fascial yoga flow (expect lots of undulation and twists)
🌀Gentle self-massage to stimulate the lymph
🌀Followed by the restorative heat of the sauna (cold plunges optional), and a chance to connect with community

The workshop will end with hydrating treats and nourishing botanicals, and you can expect to leave feeling more embodied, spacious and relaxed - how joyous!

This is an invitation to slow down, drop in and discover practical tools to care for your body (spoiler alert hydration and movement are key to everything, always)

This is a Change Collective event, which means profits go towards delivering wellness projects and resour

Upcoming opening hours for this weekend (some people get this Monday coming off for a bank holiday apparently…?)

Welcome to Glasgow Community Sauna! Swipe ➡️ for a site tour, captured in stunning photographic form by Fraz ➡️

Once you’ve checked in with one of us, you can get changed in the changing rooms (or wear your saunawear under your clothes for a quick change).
We’ve got 9 changing rooms, one much larger and made more accessible with a ramp. These ones were built by Vermilion Studio and the incredible art work was done by There is no escape, make it better. The original three (not pictured here) were built from salvaged close doors by Máté Géhberger.

Once you are changed, you can pop your stuff in one of the lockers - we have 16! Bring your own lock if you like.

Now you can jump in the woodfired sauna, hand built by Máté Géhberger and Laimas Pirts - kept around 90c with sustainable wood, burned efficiently in the epic Narvi 30kw stove, custom built in Finland. We’ve got 13 seats, it’s wheelchair accessible and you can book it out as a group if you like!

Once you’ve broken a sweat, it’s time to shower off before you plunge 💦 We’ve got three cold outdoor showers, with a lower more accessible one which are screened from view by these cute orange sheets.

We’ve got two fresh, filtered plunge options. First up is this big tin bath, which you can comfortably fit two in with their legs stretched out. It is tucked behind the sauna, so we call it the ‘secret plunge’.

We’ve also got these two big tubs, which are chilled - and you can fit three people in!

After all that, you can relax on the deck in the sun on our extremely comfy deck chairs.
See you soon for a sauna and cold dip, we are open all weekend 🔥

Is there a better Sunday activity? Plenty spaces today 🌞Here is a very small selection of the incredible pix taken by Fraz this week 😍

HOT BOX: A night at the sauna with music from Simon Hot Mess.
Friday 31 July, 8.10pm - 9.40pm
All genders welcome - book on bookasession.org/glasgow

Southside q***r DJ hero Simon is known for making bodies sweat at his Hot Mess parties. But for Hot Box, he’s going to let the sauna generate the heat, while he swaps the disco bangers for a deeper, slower, spacier vibe. Glasgow Community Sauna is going to be bathed in sound, with a soundtrack of the most magical music: ambient, chill-out, drone, choral, shoegaze and more. We look forward to you joining us for the first ever Hot Box.

Some gorgeous shots from recent sunny days at Glasgow Community Sauna 🌞 Come and join us over the next few days for a sweat and a cold dip 🔥 There are still spaces on Phyllis's tree foraging walk tomorrow! The best way to spend a Sunday afternoon 🌿

You're also very welcome to chill in our garden after your sauna, kids and caregivers are always welcome at GCS and the Bowling Green is open all weekend ~ make sure the yellow gate on Kenmure St is open.
