Infinity Float, in Mount Laurel, offers infrared sauna sessions. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around people. Instead, they use infrared lamps to warm people’s bodies directly, leading to an increase in core body temperature. Since an infrared sauna produces benefits at lower temperatures than does a regular sauna, it’s accessible to those that can't tolerate the heat of a conventional sauna. Winter is the perfect time to explore the penetrating warmth from this natural health practice.

A sauna can produce similar reactions to moderate exercise, such as vigorous sweating and increased heart rate. Many users report better sleep, detoxification, relief from sore muscles and joint pain, and weight loss. If nothing else, experiencing some relaxation time may contribute to an improvement in overall well-being.

To get started, one should drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. When the session is finished, one should take some time to let one’s body cool down. Many new users start by spending 15 minutes in the sauna before working up to the recommended 20- to 30-minute sessions. If one has any health conditions, one should check with a medical professional first.

Cost: $20 for one person, $35 for a couple’s session (session length is up to 30 minutes). Location: 431 Larchmont Blvd. For more information, call 856-372-2389.
