Golden Designs Catalonia 8 Person Infrared Sauna: Room for Eight, or a Warm Hot Yoga Studio
The Golden Designs Catalonia 8 person near zero EMF far infrared sauna (GDI-6880-02 Elite) is for big households, gyms-at-home and anyone who wants a sauna that doubles as a hot yoga room. Twenty-three near zero EMF far infrared carbon panels warm an 82" x 70" hemlock cabin to 118°F to 132°F, and up to 140°F, to help you relax, ease post-workout soreness and recover together. Pull out the eight portable benches and the floor opens up for stretching and yoga, and the cabin is wheelchair accessible.
