What to expect from a guided sauna in Barnard Castle
Meet at the lake jetty at TCR Hub. Arrive a few minutes early so you can change. Park at the Hub and follow the signs from the main car park down to the jetty. Claire leads the hour at a slower, more sensory pace while the wood fire heats the benches. She may bring in leafy whisking, breath awareness and quiet prompts.
The hour has a shape, with room for a dip in the lake between rounds when you are ready. Up to 8 people, so there is space on the benches and at the jetty. The dips are optional, so you can stay in the heat if that suits you better. Our team supervises lake access from the jetty throughout. There are toilets, changing areas and a cold shower on site.
The extra ten minutes, compared with a standard session, gives you space to settle in and learn a little about traditional sauna culture.
