When you arrive, head directly into The Ritual Room at your scheduled time. Settle in, light the palo santo if you’d like, and leave an intention in the journal.

There’s no one “right” way to use the room, but if you’d like a little guidance, this is our suggested ritual:

BEGIN — Vibration Plate
Start with a few minutes on the vibration plate to wake up the body and ease into your session.

HEAT — 10 minutes
Step into the infrared sauna. Place a towel beneath you, get comfortable, and settle into the heat. Choose silence, your own music via Bluetooth, or scan the QR code for our suggested playlist.

COLD — 1–3 minutes
Enter the cold plunge + then stay for 1–3 minutes—or whatever feels appropriate for your body. Please towl off completely before entering back into the sauna.

REPEAT — 3 rounds
Move between approximately 10 minutes of heat and 1–3 minutes of cold for up to three rounds.

REST + RED LIGHT
Use the red light at any point during your ritual or finish your session in the lounge chair with the red light directed toward your body. Please keep the red light outside of the sauna.

Hydrate throughout, listen to your body, and adjust the timing as needed. The ritual is simply a guide—your session is yours.

Infrared heat works differently than traditional saunas — it penetrates deeper into the body at lower temperatures.

Common benefits include:

• Increased circulation

• Muscle and joint relief

• Support for detoxification through sweat

• Reduced stress and tension

• Nervous system regulation

• Post-exercise recovery

• Improved sleep for many people

The experience is often described as deeply soothing rather than overwhelming.

Most guests spend 20–40 minutes in the sauna, depending on comfort, experience, and intention.

• If you’re new to infrared heat, start with 15–20 minutes

• Seasoned sauna users often enjoy 30–45 minutes

• Listen to your body — there is no benefit to pushing past comfort

Hydration before + after is essential. Resting quietly in the space afterward can be just as valuable as the heat itself.

Cold water immersion can be an invigorating way to support both body + mind. Regular cold exposure may help:

• Reduce muscle soreness + support recovery after exercise
• Increase alertness and leave you feeling energized
• Support circulation as the body responds to changes in temperature
• Build tolerance to physical stress and discomfort
• Create a powerful sense of mental clarity + presence

Paired with the warmth of the infrared sauna, the cold plunge also creates an energizing contrast that can leave you feeling refreshed and restored.

You don’t need to stay in long to experience the cold. We recommend starting with 30–60 seconds and gradually working toward 1–3 minutes as your body acclimates.

All three options are beneficial — it simply depends on what your body needs.

• Before yoga: Gently warms muscles and joints, helping you move with more ease

• After yoga: Deepens relaxation, supports recovery, and extends the nervous-system benefits of practice

• On a separate day: A beautiful standalone ritual for stress relief, circulation, and nervous-system reset

Many members rotate between all three depending on their week.

If you’re planing to use the cold plunge + sauna, please bring TWO towels—one to sit in sauna and want to dry off after plunging.

Some water to sip throughout your session will also support your ritual.

The Ritual Room is designed to be flexible and intuitive — a space that meets you where you are.

Guests use the room to:

• Sit quietly and decompress between commitments

• Journal, meditate, or practice breathwork

• Support emotional processing after therapy or deep inner work

• Recover from workouts or long days on their feet

• Create a personal ritual — music, stillness, prayer, or intention-setting

• Simply rest, uninterrupted

There’s no agenda and no expectation. Whether you come to sweat, reflect, or soften, the room is yours to use in a way that feels supportive and true for you.

The salt wall adds a grounding, mineral-rich environment to the space.

Potential benefits include:

• Supporting respiratory health

• Creating a calming, negative-ion rich atmosphere

• Helping purify the air

• Enhancing the sense of relaxation and clarity

Whether or not you feel a physical effect, most people notice a calmer, clearer breathing experience while in the room.

Red light therapy supports the body at a cellular level and is often used for:

• Muscle recovery

• Joint support

• Skin health

• Reduced inflammation

• Improved circulation

• Tissue repair and healing

It’s non-invasive, gentle, and can be used alongside the sauna or on its own.

Red light therapy is safe for the eyes when kept 18-24” away.

That said:

• You may close your eyes or turn your body slightly away if you prefer

• If you have light sensitivity or a medical eye condition, consult your provider

If you’d like to hold the lamp closer to your face, there are complimentary goggles in the Ritual Room that are available to use.

This space is intentionally designed to be slow, quiet, and unrushed. There is no “right” way to use it.

Come to sweat.
Come to restore.
Come to rest.
Come to breathe.

Your ritual is your own.

Contrast therapy is the practice of alternating between heat and cold—like moving between our infrared sauna and cold plunge.

The shift between temperatures creates a stimulating experience that may help:

• Support circulation and blood flow
• Reduce post-exercise muscle soreness + support recovery
• Leave the body feeling refreshed and energized
• Increase alertness + mental clarity
• Build resilience and tolerance to physical stress
• Create a grounding, present-moment experience

Beyond the physical benefits, there’s something powerful about intentionally moving between comfort and discomfort—and discovering how capable your body is along the way.

Our suggested ritual includes up to three rounds of approximately 10 minutes in the sauna followed by 1–3 minutes in the cold plunge. Always listen to your body and adjust as needed.
