Backyard Sauna Club brings Finnish heat to Iowa City homes
Emily Woford Hurlin and David Hurlin opened the Backyard Sauna Club offering four person sauna rentals and monthly passes in Iowa City. They cite mental health benefits and physical relaxation from sauna bathing and aim to share Nordic culture locally. The venture arrives amid broader research linking sauna use to heart health dementia risk reduction and improved insulin sensitivity, with customers also exploring cold plunges and mobile sauna options nearby.
