Contrast Loop CIrcuit
Like morning sun meeting mountain mist.
A precise sequence of intense heat and cold that boosts circulation, wakes up your nervous system, and primes your body for recovery. The Contrast Loop blends two powerful protocols – one hot, one cold – in a curated flow that supercharges their individual benefits.

The protocols
This is a 20-minute guided loop moving seamlessly from heat to cold. Each stage primes your body for the next – the heat opens up circulation and releases tension, the cold locks in those benefits while reducing inflammation and sharpening mental clarity.
Infrared Sauna Protocol
Far-infrared waves warm you from the inside out, reaching deep into muscles, joints, and tissues. It soothes stiffness, improves circulation, and promotes detox, without the harsh heat of traditional saunas. You’ll step out relaxed and recharged.
Cryo Protocol / Cold Plunge
A rapid drop in temperature, either at —85°C for cryo, or 5-10°C for cold plunge triggers a wave of endorphins, sharpens focus, and signals your body to repair faster. You’ll step out feeling alert and ready to move.

The same sequence of hot and cold, in a different order, works with your body in different ways. Decide how you want to feel today.
The experience
Restorative Loop
1 Start Hot:
- Step into your private infrared sauna cabin, preset to your preferred heat level (30–60°C).
- Let the deep warmth take over.
- Sit back, read, or meditate for 20 to 40 minutes.
2 Then go Cold:
- If you choose CRYO PROTOCOL
- Strip down to your inners and gear up with warm gloves, socks, and ear protectors.
- Step into the cryo chamber and feel the cold.
- Hop, jog, dance, move – whatever helps you adjust. It’ll be over within 3 minutes.
- If you choose COLD PLUNGE
- Change into a swimsuit and step into a chilled plunge pool.
- The cold hits fast – breathe through it.
- Your body will adapt and calm down. Stay for up to 10 minutes.
3 End with Hot:
- Your infrared sauna repeats. You end feeling calm and relaxed
What’s actually happening?
Start Hot
Heat expands blood vessels and boosts circulation to the skin and muscles. Nutrient delivery speeds up. Joint stiffness eases. Your body offloads the day’s tension.
Then go Cold
The sudden temperature drop reduces core body temperature. Your body gets prepared for deeper, more restorative sleep. Muscle inflammation is halted. Hormone activity is balanced. Metabolic activity slows.
End with Hot
A final warm protocol relaxes your nervous system, encourages endorphin release, and restores circulation to the surface tissues. It leaves muscles loose, the mind calmer, and the body primed for sleep and overnight recovery.

Activating Loop
1 Start Cold:
- If you choose CRYO PROTOCOL
- Strip down to your inners and gear up with warm gloves, socks, and ear protectors.
- Step into the cryo chamber and feel the cold.
- Hop, jog, dance, move – whatever helps you adjust. It’ll be over within 3 minutes.
- If you choose COLD PLUNGE
- Change into a swimsuit and step into a chilled plunge pool.
- The cold hits fast – breathe through it.
- Your body will adapt and calm down. Stay for up to 10 minutes.
2 Then go Hot:
- Step into your private infrared sauna cabin, preset to your preferred heat level (30–60°C).
- Let the deep warmth take over.
- Sit back, read, or meditate for 20 to 40 minutes.
3 End with Cold:
- Your cold protocol repeats. You end feeling sharp and full of energy, ready to take on the day.
What’s actually happening?
Start Cold
Your sympathetic nervous system is activated. Norepinephrine and adrenaline spikes. Blood vessels constrict. Circulation to your core intensifies. Oxygen uptake increases. All this makes you alert.
Then go Hot
Heat dilates your blood vessels, increases circulation, and relaxes muscle fibers tightened by the cold. Your metabolic processes speed up, flushing out stress hormones. Your body gets primed for recovery.
End with Cold
Ending with cold drives down inflammation, re-tightens circulation, and stabilises your nervous system. It locks in the previous hormonal surge from earlier, helping you sustain sharper focus to get you through the day with lasting energy.

Choose this protocol when
You’ve noticed that either sauna or cryo alone helps, but want to stack their effects for faster, longer-lasting results.
Choose this protocol when
You’re looking for a balanced protocol that works on your whole system at once so you get the benefits of multiple visits in just 20 minutes.
