Join us on 4th March from 18:15 to 20:15 for a FREE Yoga and Sauna event designed to leave you feeling grounded, restored and fully recharged.

We begin in the outdoor yoga tent with a dynamic flow and guided relaxation led by Milli. Expect intentional movement, steady breathwork and space to properly unwind at the end of your practice. This session is open to all abilities and all genders, so whether you are completely new to yoga or already confident on the mat, you will feel supported.

After yoga, we transition to an hour of hot and cold therapy with Taffside Sauna. Experience the deep, penetrating heat of the wood fired sauna followed by invigorating cold immersion in our whisky barrel ice baths. Alternating between heat and cold can help improve circulation, reduce muscle tension and support recovery, while also giving you that unbeatable post sauna glow.

There are only 8 spaces available, creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere where you can fully switch off. This is a beautiful opportunity to move your body, calm your mind and connect with like minded people in a welcoming space.

The event is completely free, but booking is essential.

Reserve your space via the Wunderbook app and join us for an evening of movement, heat, cold and deep relaxation. We cannot wait to welcome you.

Post sauna bliss hits different ☁️

That moment when the heat fades, your body hums, your skin tingles and all you want is something warm in your hands.

After a deep sweat and cold dip reset, the perfect follow up ritual is simple. Grab a coffee, matcha or hot chocolate and let yourself land. No rush. No noise. Just warmth layered on warmth.

Coffee for the slow return to buzz and conversation.

Matcha for that clean grounded energy that carries the calm a little longer.

Hot chocolate for pure comfort and a hug in a cup.

This is the pause after the intensity. The balance after the burn. The part where you sit wrapped up, breathe deeper and realise why you came in the first place.

Sauna is not just about the heat. It is about the full experience. The contrast. The community. The small pleasures that feel big when your nervous system finally exhales.

So next time you step out glowing and grinning, do not rush off. Stay a while. Warm your hands. Savour the moment.

Perfect heat. Perfect cool. Perfect cup. A Cup of Casa

Something special is coming this spring 🌸
We are so excited to share that Weekly Pilates and Sauna sessions are launching at Taffside Sauna at Llandaff Rowing Club. A space to move, warm, rest and reconnect.

This experience brings together Pilates with Danni and Taffside Sauna for a weekly ritual that supports strength, softness and deep relaxation. Expect gentle but effective Pilates to wake up your body followed by the grounding heat of the sauna to help you unwind fully.

This is time carved out just for you. Time to slow down, breathe deeper and feel good in your body. Whether you are new to Pilates or already love it, these sessions are designed to be welcoming, supportive and nourishing. The sauna offers a chance to relax your muscles, calm your nervous system and enjoy a moment of stillness by the water.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Llandaff Rowing Club, at Taffside Sauna, this weekly offering is about more than movement or heat. It is about creating a small community ritual you can look forward to. A pause in the week where you can reset and leave feeling lighter and more grounded.

Details on dates, times and booking will be shared very soon. Spaces will be limited to keep the experience calm and considered.

Sunrise sauna hits different.

There is something quietly powerful about being up before the world wakes. The air is crisp. The trees are still. Steam rises into a soft pink sky as the fire crackles and the heat slowly wraps around you. No rush. No noise. Just breath, warmth and that deep exhale you did not realise you were holding.

Our sunrise sauna sessions are about starting the day intentionally. Step inside the barrel, feel the heat build, then cool off as the light changes around you. Watch the smoke drift upwards while the birds begin their morning chorus. It is grounding, energising and strangely emotional in the best way.

This is not about pushing or proving anything. It is about presence. About giving yourself space before emails, school runs and to do lists take over. About choosing calm before chaos. Many people tell us this is the best they feel all week and we believe it.

Whether you come alone for quiet reflection or share the bench with friends, the sunrise session has a magic all of its own. You leave feeling clear headed, warm to the core and properly alive.

If you have been meaning to try sauna or you already know the feeling, this is your sign. Set the alarm. Bring a towel. Trust us.

Sunrise. Steam. Stillness. Start your day the Taffside way.

A gentle reminder about our cancellation policy at Taffside Sauna. When you make a booking you agree to a waiver that explains how cancellations within 48 hours of the session are not eligible for a refund. This is simply because last minute changes usually mean we cannot fill the space, and as a small independent business this makes a real difference.

Recently a private booking was cancelled at 1am without any message. Situations change and life happens, and I always try to be understanding. Clear communication helps so much because it gives me the chance to work with you and support you however I can. Most of the time a quick message is all it takes for us to find a solution together.

If your plans shift I am always happy to hold the space for a future date so nothing is lost. My aim is for everyone who visits to feel welcomed, cared for and appreciated.

Thank you to every person who shows up, relaxes, sweats, plunges and shares this experience with us. Your support helps keep our sauna community warm and thriving and I am genuinely grateful for each of you.

On the upside there is now an empty sauna session at 1145am.

Night time sauna sessions at Taffside Sauna have a completely different energy to the daytime experience. When the sky goes dark and the fairy lights begin to glow along the curve of the wooden barrel the whole space feels calm peaceful and a little bit magical. The warm light reflecting across the river creates a gentle atmosphere that immediately helps your body and mind slow down. Stepping into the heat at night feels grounding in a way that is hard to put into words. You breathe in deeply the warmth settles around you and everything outside the sauna fades into quiet stillness. Moving between the soothing heat and the cool fresh night air is an experience that leaves you feeling reset and completely renewed.

One of the things people love most about Taffside Sauna is how naturally we operate. We are proudly off grid which means every light every cosy glow and every tiny detail you see is powered either by our batteries or by the solar energy gathered during the day. There is no background noise and no harsh artificial feeling. Instead you get a peaceful atmosphere that feels honest simple and deeply connected to nature. Guests always tell us they can feel the difference the moment they arrive.

If you have not tried a night session yet this is your sign to come along and see why they are becoming a favourite for so many people. The combination of warmth darkness and nature feels like pure magic.

Spaces left for tonight, book now before they fill up.

The first frost arrived this week and the whole riverside feels transformed. The air is crisp, the light is softer, and the colours around the water seem to shine even brighter. Moments like this rainbow appearing over the trees feel like a quiet hello from the season ahead.

This is the perfect time for the warmth of Taffside Sauna. The wood burner glows, the steam rolls gently upward, and that first step from cold air into deep heat feels like pure relief. Frost on the ground makes the contrast even sweeter. Heat on the skin. A cold plunge that wakes every sense. Then the calm after when everything slows down and you feel centred again.

The river is peaceful at this time of year. Swans drift across the water. The last autumn colours hold on before winter settles fully. It is a beautiful backdrop for a slow ritual of warmth, breath, and recovery.

First frost means sauna season is here and we are ready for it.

Red Sky in the Morning

There’s a rare kind of calm that comes before the day begins. The grass is cool beneath your feet, the air still carries the chill of night, and then the horizon starts to glow. A slow burn of colour spreads through the sky, soft pinks deepening into red, light spilling over the trees and across the field. The sauna waits quietly, framed by the warmth of the dawn, a small circle of comfort against the vastness of it all.

This is what mornings at Taffside Sauna are about. Time slows down. The crackle of the stove and the scent of wood smoke invite you to breathe deeper. Step inside and feel the heat wrap around you. Step out and let the cold air bite at your skin. The rhythm between warmth and chill resets something deep within.

Every sunrise feels different here. Some are gentle and pale, others wild and blazing, but each one carries the same reminder: presence is a gift. The sauna, the sky, the quiet field, together they create a moment of pure connection to nature and to yourself.
