🧐 How does it work?

Hot 15mins | Cold 2mins | Rest 13min| Repeat x3

🔥 Sauna / Hot 🔥

The bell rings and the first group of 8 are up. Grab your towel, water bottle and head over to the cold shower on the back of the sauna. for a rinse before entering. Yeehaa! We rinse off under the cold before entering as part of our hygienic practices. You will then be welcomed into the sauna by the meister and be given the safety briefing. Please follow all crew instructions as they are there to keep you safe. For more safety information, please refer to the bottom of the page. Please note, if you have any medical concerns, please advise the sauna meister before entering.

💦 Ice Bath / Cold Plunge 💦

Once your 15 minutes are up, it's now time to cool down. This process is called contrast hydrotherapy; using water as a medium for therapeutic benefits. Rinse off under the shower before entering the ice bath so we keep it clean for the next round. You will be dipping into icy cold water - literally. Breathing in your nose, out your mouth, see if you can last at least 30 seconds. That's your goal. We encourage you to see if you can make 2 minutes. This is where the health benefits really starts to kick in.

🌱 Relax / Rest 🌱

Take the time to really feel into what your body is going though - an incredible rush of endorphines that flood the body, making you feel a natural high.

💫 x3 Repeat
You will be rotating with the other group and have at least 3 rounds of Sauna and cold therapy.

😎 Chill Space

Being an outdoor company, we use marquees as our safe space from the elements. We ask that you use the cubby holes provided to stash your gear in or neatly on the ground. We love it when people are tidy.
There is a small changing room for your privacy in the corner if you wish to change into your bathing suit. We do encourage people to go nude if they feel comfortable to do so (a very common European practice). We do ask that you bring your towel into the sauna to sweat on.
