OVERVIEW
Step into the warmth of Spirit Sauna, a wood fired PortaSauna HEX based on the Isle of Wight.
Founded by Sue, Spirit Sauna was born from a love of outdoor saunas discovered at a small community festival. Today, that same spirit of connection and community runs through every session. Spirit Sauna arrives to you as a complete experience – the tented sauna, fire, Aufguss rituals, mindful moments and optional cold plunge.
Whether you are planning a retreat, festival, corporate wellbeing day or a simple garden gathering with friends, Spirit Sauna brings health, relaxation and a sense of ceremony to the Island community. Every booking is tailored, so you can choose a calm, reflective session or something more energising and social.
Spirit Sauna uses a PortaSauna HEX wood fired sauna tent, designed for fast setup and authentic heat. Once the sauna is up, you simply arrive, step inside and relax while Sue guides the space and supports your group.
HIGHLIGHTS

Spirit Sauna is fully mobile across the Isle of Wight. Beaches, fields, venues, or your own garden – Sue brings everything needed and sets up the sauna where you want it.
Wood fired PortaSauna HEX
Enjoy deep, even heat from a wood fired PortaSauna HEX. This is a real sauna experience with stones, steam and space to stretch out, chat or sit in silence.
Aufguss rituals and mindfulness
Enhance your visit with guided Aufguss rituals, essential oils and gentle breath cues. Meditation and mindfulness can be woven into the session to help you fully switch off.

ABOUT YOUR HOST
Hi, I am Sue, founder of Spirit Sauna.
My love of outdoor saunas began several years ago at a small community festival. I am so happy to now be able to offer this service to the Island community. It is my wish to bring health and wellness opportunities to my clients, enriching their experiences with bespoke packages.
Every booking is personal. I take time to understand your group, what you are hoping to get from the session and how you want to feel by the end. From there, I plan the heat levels, Aufguss rounds, breath and meditation elements around you.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
TYPICAL SESSION FLOW
A Spirit Sauna session can be adapted to your group, but a common structure might look like this:
Arrival
You arrive a little before your start time to settle in, meet Sue and go through a short safety and comfort chat.
Round 1 - Settle into the heat
You begin with a gentle 10 to 15 minutes in the PortaSauna HEX, allowing your body to warm up and your mind to slow down.
Cool down
Step outside the sauna to rest, cool down and take some fresh air. If you have chosen the plunge option, you can take a short, supported cold dip.
Round 2 - Aufguss and breath
Return to the sauna for a guided Aufguss round. Sue uses water and essential oils on the stones, with mindful breath cues or light meditation depending on what you have chosen.
Cool down and reflect
Take another cool down break. This is a good time to notice how you feel, drink water and enjoy the surroundings.
Round 3 - Deep relaxation
Finish with a final round in the sauna, either in silence or with gentle guidance, followed by a last cool down and time to integrate the experience.
Safety and comfort are always prioritised. Everyone is encouraged to listen to their body and take breaks when needed.
FULL DAY AND WEEKEND RETREATS
Spirit Sauna is available for:
- Full day retreats
- Weekend retreats
- Festival weekends
- Corporate wellbeing days
For longer events, Sue can:
- Build a schedule of multiple short sessions through the day
- Include dedicated Aufguss ceremonies or meditation blocks
- Coordinate with other facilitators or retreat leaders
- Provide cold plunge options to complement the sauna
Each retreat is tailored in advance. You discuss your theme, group size and timings, and the sauna is woven into the wider programme as a central wellbeing experience.
PRIVATE HIRE AND GARDEN SAUNA
Spirit Sauna is ideal if you would like a wild sauna experience without leaving home.
Garden hire includes:
- Delivery and setup of the PortaSauna HEX
- Wood fired stove managed for you
- Use of the sauna for your agreed time window
- Optional guided elements such as Aufguss or meditation

This is a perfect option for birthdays, small gatherings, family wellness days or as a special treat during the colder months.
