Start the New Year Warm: Why Far Infrared Sauna Is the Ultimate Wellness Ritual for 2026

December may be chilly, but the energy of a new year is right around the corner. A fresh start, a clean slate, and a chance to take better care of your body and mind. As you look ahead to 2026, one of the most restorative habits you can introduce into your wellness routine is the Far Infrared Sauna at The Float Place.

Unlike traditional saunas that simply heat the air, far infrared saunas warm your body from the inside out, creating a deeper, more therapeutic experience. It’s gentle, accessible, and incredibly beneficial, especially in winter and especially as you step into a brand-new year.

Melt Holiday Stress & Start the New Year Grounded

December is one of the busiest months of the year, and your nervous system feels it. The warmth of the infrared sauna helps melt away the tension stored in your muscles and gently shifts your body out of fight-or-flight mode.

Infrared heat has been shown to:

• lower stress hormones

• calm the nervous system

• regulate mood

• support deeper sleep

  
  

Stepping into 2026 with a regulated, relaxed body creates the perfect foundation for new goals, habits, and intentions.

Boost Circulation & Detoxification

Winter often leaves us feeling sluggish. The cold constricts blood vessels, slows circulation, and tightens muscles. Infrared sauna therapy counters that in the best way possible.

Infrared heat:

• increases blood flow

• improves oxygenation

• boosts metabolism

• stimulates natural detoxification

• helps remove built-up inflammation

It’s like giving your body a deep, internal refresh, perfect for entering the new year feeling lighter, clearer, and more energized.

Pair It With Other Services for a Full New Year Reset

The sauna amplifies the benefits of other services at The Float Place. Many clients create a New Year ritual with these combinations

Sauna session then a Cold Plunge session

Fire & Ice Contrast Therapy

Sauna session then a 90-minute float session

Sauna session then a Neurofeedback session for mental reset

The warmth of the sauna prepares your body for deeper relaxation, deeper recovery, and greater clarity making any service that follows even more impactful.

The start of a new year is the perfect moment to recommit to yourself. With just 45 minutes in the Far Infrared Sauna, you elevate your mood, improve your physical health, and step into 2026 with warmth, clarity, and renewed energy.

Here’s to a healthier, calmer, and more energized new year.
