Tuesdays and Saturdays

Guided contrast sessions.

A guide runs the clock, teaches the breathing and walks you into the cold. Twelve people, three rounds, ninety minutes. The easiest way to do a first visit properly.

How the ninety minutes go

You never have to look at a clock.

The guide rings a small bell when it is time to move. You just follow the group.

  1. Ten minutes of breathing

    In the lounge, sitting down. The 4, 4, 6 pattern you can try on this page.

  2. Three rounds

    12 minutes of sauna, 1 minute in the pool of your choice, 8 minutes of rest.

  3. Tea and a slow finish

    Fifteen minutes in the lounge. Questions are welcome now.

Ring showing a 90 minute session: breathing, then three rounds of sauna, plunge and rest, then tea 90 MINUTES
Breathing, three rounds, tea. Ember is heat, ice is cold, grey is rest.

Try it now

This is the breathing we teach.

Press start and follow the circle. In for four, hold for four, out for six. Do five rounds and notice your shoulders drop.

In the session we do this sitting by the pools, then once more standing at the edge before the first plunge.

In through the nose for 4. Hold for 4. Out slowly for 6. Five rounds takes about a minute and a quarter.
