Peace, Love and Sweat

Overview

Peace, Love and Sweat is a premier infrared sauna studio located in Springfield, IL, specializing in state-of-the-art Sunlighten saunas for deep therapeutic heat at comfortable temperatures (100-160°F). Unlike traditional saunas that rely on high surface heat (150-210°F) and humidity, infrared saunas provide penetrating wavelengths (near, mid, and far) for enhanced detoxification, pain relief, and relaxation without overwhelming humidity or extreme temperatures.

The overall atmosphere is peaceful, chic, and inviting, designed as a safe space for self-care. Features like open ceilings, glass doors, chromotherapy lighting, Bluetooth music/podcasts, and optional Netflix create a roomy, spa-like experience. Customers rave about the beautiful environment, knowledgeable staff (led by owner Ann), and effortless relaxation—ideal for solo sessions or sharing with friends/family.
