CONTRAST THERAPY

1. Arrive Early: Arrive 15 minutes before your session and fill out a waiver if it’s your first visit.
2. Pre-Session Shower: Shower before entering the Cold Plunge, unless you are already freshly showered and clean.
3. Prepare Your Mind: Relax on a chair or yoga mat, focusing on your breath to connect with your body and prepare for the session.
4. Cold Plunge: Step into the Cold Plunge, submerging your shoulders below the surface. Practice deep, calm breathing for 2-3 minutes.
5. Exit Mindfully: Slowly exit the Cold Plunge. Avoid drying off or crossing your arms. Instead, stand in a power pose (fists on hips, shoulders back) or practice Tai Chi movements to stimulate blood flow and warm your body naturally.
6. Infrared Sauna: Dry off completely and step into the Infrared Sauna for deep, soothing heat.
7. Contrast Rounds: If alternating between the Cold Plunge and Infrared Sauna, shower after each sauna session. Limit your session to 2-3 contrast rounds for optimal results.

• Set Your Intention: Take a moment before each session to set a clear intention for your practice, whether it’s relaxation, recovery, or mindfulness.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before and after your session to support detoxification and recovery.
• Focus on Your Breath: During your Cold Plunge session, aim to slow your breath to 5-8 breaths per minute to enhance relaxation and control.
• Bring Comfy Clothes: Pack a fresh set of comfortable clothes to change into after your session for added comfort.
• Reflect and Journal: Consider bringing a journal to record any insights, clarity, or thoughts you experience during or after your session.
• Relax in the Quiet Space: Take advantage of Soak’s serene “quiet space” to unwind and extend your mindfulness practice as long as you’d like.
