Relax and Recover Energize & Reset Mind-Body Grounding Mental Clarity Focus Flow Recovery
Approximately 80–90 Minutes

Relax & Recover

For Stress Relief, Muscle Recovery and Nervous System Reset

This circuit helps transition the body from high alert to deep rest. It’s ideal after stress, physical exertion, or emotional overwhelm.

  1. 25 Minutes

    Step 1: Infrared Sauna

    Begin with gentle, sustained heat to ease tension and calm the nervous system. Optional: Light stretching (shoulder rolls, seated twists) can deepen the release.

  2. 1–2 Minutes

    Step 2 (Optional): Cold Plunge

    A brief cold immersion can reduce inflammation and support circulation. Skip this step if your goal is full relaxation or you're sensitive to cold.

  3. 20 Minutes

    Step 3: Salt Chamber

    Restore balance through calm breathing in a quiet, mineral-rich environment.

    Toolbox Tip:

    In the Salt Chamber, use the 3-Minute Dropping Anchor audio designed to promote grounding, sensory calm and emotional release in a quiet space.

  4. 20 Minutes

    Step 4: Compression Sleeves

    Support lymphatic flow and muscle recovery.

  5. 15 Minutes

    Step 5: Massage Chair

    End with full-body relaxation to help the nervous system settle. Use the movement of the chair as a guide for awareness.

    Toolbox Tip:

    While in the Massage Chair, try the Body Scan audio to deepen relaxation and reconnect with your body.

Approximately 60 Minutes

Energize & Reset

For Quick Activation, Mental Clarity and a Lasting Mood Boost

This circuit uses contrast therapy and compression to quickly wake up the body and sharpen the mind. Ideal in the morning or anytime you need to power up.

  1. 10-15 Minutes

    Step 1: Outdoor Traditional Sauna

    Start with high, dry heat to raise core temperature and stimulate circulation.

    New to Using a Sauna?

    • Begin with five to 10 minutes and gradually work up to 15 to 20 minutes over time.
    • Pay attention to how you feel. Tingling skin, dizziness or discomfort are signs to exit early. Rest and cool down before continuing any other activity.
  2. 2–3 Minutes

    Step 2: Cold Plunge

    Follow with a plunge to activate energy, focus and endorphins.

    Toolbox Tip:

    Use Box Breathing to help regulate your breath, stay focused and support a smooth transition into alert energy.

  3. Optional: Repeat Steps 1 & 2

    A second (or even third) round deepens the contrast effect and extends the energizing benefit.

  4. 20 Minutes

    Step 3: Compression Sleeves

    Finish with compression to support reintegration and stable energy.

  5. Additionl Tips

    • Stay hydrated before, during and after to support circulation and recovery.
    • Listen to your body. Adjust time or skip steps based on how you feel.
    • Pause between stations to breathe, reflect and fully experience the reset.
Approximately 60–75 Minutes

Mind-Body Grounding

For Anxiety Relief, Breath Awareness, and Emotional Regulation

This circuit helps quiet the mind and reconnect to your body. Ideal during periods of stress, anxiousness, or emotional depletion.

  1. 20-25 Minutes

    Step 1: Infrared Sauna

    Use sustained warmth to calm the nervous system and release physical tension. Optional: Listen to calming music or gently stretch.

    New to Infrared?

    • Heat builds slowly. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared warms the body gradually from the inside out.
    • Stay in longer. Infrared’s lower heat allows for more extended sessions—20 to 30 minutes is common.
  2. 20 Minutes

    Step 2: Salt Chamber

    Use this quiet, sensory-neutral space to pause, breathe and reconnect to your experience.

    Toolbox Tip:

    As you settle, try the 5‑Senses Grounding exercise to gently anchor your awareness in the present moment—perfect for reducing mental clutter.

  3. 15 Minutes

    Step 3: Massage Chair

    Encourages full-body tension release.

  4. 1 Minutes

    Step 4 (Optional): Cold Plunge

    Only if ready. Remember to use long, slow exhales to stay grounded.

    Toolbox Tip:

    New to cold plunge? Use the Cold Plunge Introduction video as a guide.

Approximately 40–50 Minutes
