Pay as you go
The ritual
Heat. Cold. Rest. Repeat.
One hour. Four phases. The body does the rest. Wear swimwear, bring a towel and a water bottle — we'll handle the rest.
i.
Sweat
~ 90°C
Twenty minutes in the sauna. Let the heat soften everything — shoulders, jaw, day.
ii.
Plunge
~ 3°C
One to three minutes in the ice bath. Sharp inhale, slow exhale. The clarity is the point.
iii.
Breathe
~ 18°C
Sit. Wrap up. Let the body settle. This is where the practice actually does its work.
iv.
Repeat
2–3 rounds
Most folks do two or three full rounds. Listen to your body — there's no medal for finishing fast.
