Fire + Ice : A Hot and Cold Contrast Therapy Workshop

Contrast therapy; using the power of heat and cold stressors to support wellness.

What is Contrast Therapy?

In short, it is alternating between the temperature extremes of hot and cold. This can be done in baths, saunas, and live waters and has been practiced by civilizations around the world for thousands of years.

What can I expect from this workshop?

-Together, we will cover the latest research on Contrast Therapy and its benefits for the cardiovascular, immune, and metabolic systems. We will also cover the evolutionary theory of stress adaptation that makes this a practice that connects us to our deepest roots as humans.

-You will learn the methods to practice contrast therapy safely and effectively whether you have sauna access or not.

-You will be professionally guided through three rounds of ice baths and two rounds of hot yoga in an infrared heated room. To Bring on the Day of the Workshop:
