The only Louisville sauna with halotherapy built in · Physician co-owned · 173+ five-star reviews
Most contrast therapy is just a sauna and a cold tub. Ours is different. The sauna cabin itself adds halotherapy, red light, aromatherapy and chromotherapy — so the heat phase does far more than heat.
Warms you from the inside out. Deeper penetration than traditional saunas at a more comfortable air temperature.
A professional halogenerator fills the cabin with pharmaceutical salt micro-particles while you sweat. No other Louisville sauna does this.
Panels inside the cabin emit red and near-infrared light — the wavelengths researchers are studying for skin and recovery.
48–53°F immersion. The switch from heat to cold is the heart of the session — most people describe it as an instant reset.
Your first session, step by step. No surprises.
Your host greets you and walks you through how the session works. Come in a swimsuit or comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting wet; towels are provided. No awkward guessing.
Arrive 10 minutes early for your first visitStep into the sauna cabin. Infrared panels warm you from the inside while red light panels surround you with a warm glow. Meanwhile, a professional halogenerator fills the air with micro-particles of pharmaceutical salt — you’re breathing the same salt air as our salt room, except now you’re doing it at 150°F.
This is what makes Bodhi different — no other Louisville sauna has halotherapy built inWhen you’re ready, step into the cold plunge at 48–53°F. The temperature shift is intense for a moment, then energizing. Most people describe it as an instant reset — alert, clear, alive. You control how long you stay in.
Most first-timers start with 30–60 seconds and build from thereAlternate between heat and cold at your own pace for the rest of the session. There’s no strict protocol — some people do two rounds, some do four. Your body tells you what it needs.
Total session: 60 minutes including transitionsThe thing people mention most? They sleep well that night, and many say they feel less sore the next morning.
Here’s exactly what’s included and why each piece matters.
Heats your body from the inside out at lower air temperatures than a traditional sauna — a deep, comfortable sweat without the suffocating heat.
Red and near-infrared panels inside the cabin. Red light is being studied for skin health and exercise recovery; we include it as part of a relaxing heat session, not as a treatment.
A professional halogenerator disperses pharmaceutical salt micro-particles into the sauna air. The same salt air as our salt room. This is what makes our salt sauna unique — no other Louisville facility integrates halotherapy into their sauna.
Essential-oil aromatherapy in the cabin during the heat phase. Tell your host if you’d prefer none.
Colored light inside the cabin. Purely sensory — we include it for the atmosphere, not as a treatment.
Cold immersion at 48–53°F narrows blood vessels near the skin and triggers a burst of norepinephrine — a big part of why people feel alert and clear-headed afterward.
“Absolutely fantastic recovery center. I went only to use the infrared sauna and cold plunge for an hour. You have your own room and can use both as needed on your own. Was very impressed especially with the red light therapy included with the sauna.”— Larry B., Google review, June 2026
“Lovely wellness center! It's so calming and I enjoyed my sauna + cold plunge session. I also really appreciate the soft, calming music they had playing.”— Jacqueline K., Google review, October 2026
“Such a great facility + offerings for hot and cold exposure! Plus Dasha makes you feel right at home.”— Jen M., Google review, September 2025
Heat widens blood vessels and draws blood toward the skin; cold narrows them and sends it back toward your core. Many people find this back-and-forth leaves their muscles feeling looser and their mind more alert. Cold also triggers a release of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter linked to alertness and mood.
Adding salt air and red light to the heat phase rounds out the session — you breathe the same salt air as our salt room while you sweat.
