The Ritual
Recovery is a rhythm: heat, then cold. The sauna warms you through and helps you unwind. The plunge is a short, bracing reset. Together they make a simple ritual you'll actually look forward to, at home, on your schedule.
Here's how it flows, and why the people who start rarely stop.
Warm through, let go
Settle into gentle infrared warmth, most people enjoy 15 to 30 minutes. It's quiet, comfortable heat that loosens you up and helps you switch off from the day.
A short, bracing reset
Then the plunge. Ease in, breathe slowly, stay for as long as feels right. The contrast is the whole point: warm and loose, then cold and sharp. You step out feeling awake in a way that's hard to describe and easy to get hooked on.
Four simple steps
No rules, no prizes for suffering. Start gentle and build the routine that fits your life.

What the ritual gives you
A wind-down that works
Many owners make the sauna part of their evening routine, a warm, quiet reset at the end of the day.
Awake and sharp
The cold is a jolt in the best way. Most people step out feeling switched on, clear and ready.
Training days, sorted
Warm through after a session, cool off when you need it. A simple way to look after yourself, your way.
A habit that sticks
Five minutes or forty, at home whenever you want it. The easiest routine is the one you never have to leave the house for.
Ritual questions
Is the ritual for everyone?
No. Heat and cold immersion are intense. If you're pregnant, have a heart condition, low blood pressure or any medical concern, talk to your doctor before starting. These are wellness products, not medical devices.
How long and how cold should I go?
Start gentle: shorter sauna sessions, brief dips, and build up gradually over weeks. Ease in, breathe slowly, and get out when it stops feeling right. Consistency beats intensity.
Do I need both a sauna and an ice bath?
Not at all. Plenty of people start with one and add the other later. The Ice Bath also heats to about 42 degrees C, so it can carry a hot-and-cold routine on its own.
When do people fit it in?
Mornings for the jolt, evenings for the wind-down, after training for the recovery routine. It's your ritual, run it your way.
