Supporting Your Body After a Sauna 💧

Sweating is one of the ways your body regulates temperature, and while infrared sauna sessions can support your body’s natural detoxification processes, it’s just as important to support your body after you step out of the sauna.

Your liver works hard to process waste products, many of which are excreted into the digestive tract. From there, regular bowel movements help remove them from the body. If your digestive system is sluggish, some substances can be reabsorbed rather than eliminated.

Here are a few simple ways to support your body’s natural elimination pathways:

💧 Stay well hydrated
Sweating means you’re losing water and electrolytes, so replenishing these is essential.

🥦 Eat plenty of fibre
Vegetables, fruit, seeds, legumes, and whole foods help support healthy digestion and regular elimination.

🚶 Move your body
Gentle movement supports circulation and lymphatic flow.

😴 Prioritise sleep
Your body carries out many important repair and recovery processes while you rest.

🚽 Keep your bowels regular
Healthy digestion is one of your body’s key elimination pathways.

🌿 Some people also choose to explore binders as part of their wellness routine.
Binders are designed to work in the digestive tract by attaching to certain compounds, helping carry them through the gut so they can be eliminated rather than potentially reabsorbed. They are often used alongside the basics: hydration, fibre, nourishing food, and healthy digestion.

A sauna is just one piece of the wellness puzzle. Hydration, nutrition, movement, sleep, and supporting healthy digestion all work together to help your body function at its best.

Have you ever thought about how you’re supporting your body after your sauna session?

🎉 R&R Studio Turns 2 🎉

Two years ago, R&R Studio started as a passion project with a simple goal, to create a space where people could slow down, take care of themselves, and experience the benefits of sauna and cold therapy.

Today we are celebrating our second birthday, and none of this would be possible without you.

To every single person who has walked through our doors, booked a session, shared a post, brought along a friend, recommended us to family, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, thank you. Your support means a lot.

Over the past two years, I’ve have had the privilege of meeting so many incredible people and hearing countless stories of resilience, growth, recovery, and transformation. Watching R&R become part of your self-care routine has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.

To celebrate, we are giving you 10% off all bookings for the rest of the month. Use code BIRTHDAY when booking.

If you have been curious about trying a session, or if it has been a while since your last visit, take this as your sign to book in.

Here is to two years of slowing down, restoring, and selfcare🥂

Mums spend so much time looking after everyone else, often putting themselves last.

This Mother’s Day, give her something that helps her slow down, switch off, and take a moment for herself.

Whether she loves the full sauna + ice bath experience or would prefer to simply relax in the sauna, the choice is hers.

Whether it’s for your mum, your partner, a mother figure, or yourself.

Gift vouchers available online or in store now or book a session for someone who deserves a little R&R.

We will be open this long weekend with different hours than usual. Jump online to book, link in the bio

Sauna & Sleep

We’re always told sleep is important… but do you actually know why?

While you sleep, your brain goes into clean-up mode, clearing out waste, processing the day, and resetting your nervous system. Your body is repairing, your hormones are rebalancing, and everything slows down so you can recover properly.

When sleep is off, everything else starts to follow.
Energy, mood, cravings, recovery… it all feels harder.

This is where sauna can help.

The heat encourages your body to unwind, lowers stress, and supports a deeper, more restful sleep. The kind where you actually wake up feeling like yourself again.

Better sleep doesn’t just mean feeling rested…
it flows into your whole health and wellbeing
