Why Sauna & Cold Plunge?

Going back and forth between a hot room and cold water is known as ‘contrast therapy’ and has many benefits for your mind and body.

It’s good for your circulation: increasing and strengthening your heart rate, pumping fresh blood cells around your body, oxygenating muscles and repairing tired ones.

It regulates your nervous system by forcing a rapid swing between the sympathetic ‘fight +flight’ and the parasympathetic ‘rest + digest’ systems. This trains your body to move between states, rather than getting stuck in survival mode.

Sauna and cold plunge is great for your mood - this ‘micro-stress’ workout boosts dopamine (one study suggests by up to 250%!) and reduces cortisol. The cold enhances mood, focus and motivation, while the heat reduces anxiety and releases endorphins).
