What should a bathhouse sound like?
Earlier this year we put out a call for artists to create work for Saunaday.
We imagined visual installations. Instead, a local composer answered. Efrat Koppel was inspired by the rhythm and contrasts of the bathhouse—and began composing an original soundscape designed for this space.
The result is subtle and transportive. Music that gently shapes the atmosphere of our quiet mornings.
You can experience Efrat’s work during Quiet Hours, daily from 7–10am.
We also sat down with Efrat to talk about composing for a bathhouse. → Read the full conversation on the Saunaday Journal. Link in bio.

Got plans? Go build a bathhouse.
I stopped by SaunaDay in Madison thinking I’d do a quick walkthrough. Ended up staying for hours — cycling heat and cold, talking to strangers, forgetting about my to-do list.
This is what happens when a space is done right.
We didn’t design the full experience or build the community — that’s all @Saunaday_ . But we helped bring the sauna & steam side to life: layout, benching, heaters, steam, ventilation, and sourcing materials that actually perform.
And now? It’s full. People are showing up. Becoming human again. Coming back.
That’s the opportunity.
If you’ve been thinking about building a bathhouse, sauna space, or adding contrast therapy to your business, this is your sign.

Let's talk about an underrated sauna benefit:
In the sauna, you're training your body to lose less salt in your sweat over time.
As your body adapts, your sweat becomes more efficient—holding onto electrolytes instead of dumping them.
If you’re new: add a pinch of salt to your water or pick up a SALTT packet in our market.
If you’ve been at it awhile: you’ll notice you need less and leave feeling more revitalized.
Every body is a sauna body.
There’s no right way to look, no perfect way to do it. Just your own rhythm to settle into—steam, heat, cold, rest—and a space to be in your body AS 👏IT 👏IS👏. The contrasts have a funny way of getting you out of your head, and fully into an embodied experience.
Come as you are. You are safe here ❤️
Aufguss, now part of the rhythm at Saunaday.
Wednesdays at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30p.
Essential oil blends. Snowballs on the stones. Steam and scent moved with intention 🪭—it’s a heat that builds, shifts, and holds your attention.
A more guided way to experience the sauna, now on the regular schedule.
We’re calling in more sun, more spring, more sensation, more slowing down…more Saunaday. As the sun shines outside, relax and unwind with us to add some calm presence into your spring step.
In honor of finishing our first winter season, our team gathered at The Deliciouser for an evening to slow down, dine, and celebrate the season behind us. In the midst of the rush and long days, it was so meaningful to pause and celebrate the people who make it all possible!
We thank our team for their dedication to daily operations and for continuing to make the bath house a place of rest, care, and rejuvenation in our community.
And a special thank you @thedeliciouser for the spectacular curated menu that was prepared for us!✨

One year ago (May Day), we opened up Founding Memberships.
Many of you are still here—moving through the rhythm with us as we’ve learned, adjusted, and grown into what this place is becoming.
To mark the moment, we’re opening up a few things we’ve been wanting to try—and a few ways to say thank you.
• 50% off your first month (code: MEMBERSHIPMAYDAY)
• Members’ Unlimited Thursdays (May only)
• Member referral: bring in a new member, receive a bathhouse visit or a Hinoki upgrade on us
• New member perks along the way
This is a small evolution of the membership—more flexibility, more time in the space, and more ways to share it.
If you’ve been thinking about joining, May is a good moment.
And if you’re already here—thank you!!
