Slow Motion Sauna
Coming Soon
The Sanctuary & SpaMaking its Wilderness debut, nestled in the Sanctuary, the Slow Motion Sauna is the ultimate place for relaxation and calm.
The Sauna encompasses two beautiful hand-made wood fired saunas, 3 cold plunges and an invigorating exfoliating salt scrub finale... get ready to get steamy!
Slow Motion is an antidote to 21st century living brought to you by Robby and Josie da Bank – a formula to escape even momentarily.
Bathing in sauna is a ritual that is hundreds of years old and like another fast growing UK pastime – immersing yourself in cold water, sauna cleans the body and cares for the mind.
Leaving your clothes along with your worries (as well as your mobile phone!) at the door is a liberating and truly relaxing experience and can often result in a spiritual high and exhilarated recharge of the batteries.
Robby and Josie have lived and worked on the Isle of Wight for 20 years now and along with their 4 boys love the summer beach culture but also the cold, grey seas of winter and the hibernation that ensues. Avid cold water swimmers, Josie is also a yoga teacher and Robby is a meditation teacher. The Slow Motion Sauna first popped up on a beach on the Isle of Wight, Robby and Josie da Banks home turf, last summer.
