Notes

• What makes it special: First bathhouse of its kind in Charlotte, born from personal experiences in Russian Banyas (Portland, WA). Promotes contrast therapy for profound health benefits backed by science (e.g., endorphin release stronger than many substances). Strict rules ensure hygiene/safety: shower before/after, time limits per amenity, no food/glass/electronics inside, zero tolerance for smoking/alcohol. Upscale, modest environment prioritizes respect and tranquility. Community-focused ethos views wellness as a divine gift for societal thriving. Follow on Instagram @bathhouseclt for updates.
