What is Contrast Therapy?
Contrast therapy involves alternating between hot and cold treatments, such as using a sauna followed by a cold plunge. This practice boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates muscle recovery.
Benefits of Contrast Therapy:
Enhanced Recovery: Speeds up muscle repair and reduces soreness after intense workouts.
Improved Circulation: Promotes blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles.
Stress Relief: Encourages relaxation and mental clarity by calming the nervous system.
Immune Support: Stimulates the immune system to help the body adapt and recover faster.
Enhanced Longevity: Incorporating Contrast Therapy into a routine, alongside a healthy diet, exercise and stress management can help promote overall well-being and potentially extended longevity.
Why Pair Contrast Therapy with Workouts?
Workouts challenge your body; contrast therapy helps it recover. The heat relaxes tight muscles, while the cold reduces inflammation, creating the perfect balance to optimize performance, prevent injury, and keep you feeling your best.

FAQS
Can I use the recovery suite without a yoga/strength training membership?
Yes! The recovery suite is open to everyone, and has it’s own memberships for use, including class packs and drop ins.
WHAT ARE THE HOURS OF OPERATION?
The Recovery Room operates independently of our yoga class schedule. Sessions are by appointment only and are available seven days a week, from early morning through evening. Availability may vary from week to week, but our schedule is always up-to-date on our website and booking platform.
How often can I use the sauna and cold plunge?
Experts recommend around 11 minutes of cold plunge time per week, spread across 2–4 sessions of 2–4 minutes each. For the sauna, aim for 2–4 sessions per week of 15–30 minutes to support recovery, detoxification, and relaxation. Combining both in a single session (contrast therapy) amplifies the benefits for overall wellness.
Your tolerance and recovery needs may vary. Start slowly and increase frequency as your body adapts. If you’re new to saunas or cold plunging, begin with shorter sessions and gradually build up. Always consult a healthcare provider if you have underlying health conditions.
What is the difference between a Norwegian sauna and an infrared sauna?
A Norwegian sauna provides a more traditional, immersive experience by heating the air to high temperatures and allowing the addition of steam by pouring water over hot stones. This combination creates a full-body experience with a centuries-old tradition, offering a number of benefits, including deep detoxification and flushing out toxins, improved circulation and a relaxing atmosphere with soothing humidity. An infrared sauna operates at much lower temperatures and creates a dry heat environment, which makes them lack the cardiovascular and detoxifying effects of a Norwegian sauna.
What should I bring/wear?
We recommend wearing a fitted, comfortable workout attire (bike shorts, swim trunks, sports bra, tank or t-shirt, etc) for your session. A towel is required for your session. Towel service is available for those who don’t have a towel or would like to rent one. Don’t forget a water bottle to stay hydrated, and a change of clothes for after your session.
What should I do to prepare for my session?
To prepare, stay hydrated throughout the day and avoid heavy meals just before your session. Arrive about 10 minutes early to settle in and review any guidelines or instructions from our staff. If it’s your first time, let us know so we can offer additional guidance.
Testimonials
“For two years, I have had pain in my right hip. I went to an orthopedic surgeon, and he said I had arthritis in my right hip. I’ve tried different treatment options to relieve the pain, but nothing has been as effective as the sauna and cold plunge at Arrichion. After about 20 minutes in the sauna and a 3 minute cold plunge, the pain in my hip is reduced to about 90%. I’ve also noticed a boost in my mental clarity and overall well-being. With such a supportive staff to cheer you on as you finish your time in the cold plunge, I definitely recommend!!”
“My first time in the recovery room was awesome! I liked the 12 min sauna 2 min cold plunge routine a lot and couldn’t wait to get back into the sauna after the first plunge. Once you dip once and you know what to expect it’s not so bad at all. I felt great afterwards! I haven’t lifted in a while so did it after a warrior class for optimal recovery and I feel great today. I would have thought I would have liked to be there alone but having a couple other people actually made it more fun! ”
“Gotta love the sauna and cold plunge! The first time is never easy but with the knowledge and assistance of the staff, I am ready for more! The cozyness of the recovery room makes for a great experience. Invite your friends!”
“I recently visited the Recovery Room with a friend and it completely exceeded our expectations! Jenna greeted us at the door, walked us through the process, and checked in with us throughout the entire experience. I am recovering from a knee injury and was surprised at how much the cold plunge was able to reduce inflammation in the days to follow. The sauna was also extremely relaxing. We left feeling exhilarated and refreshed!”
“First timer here for the plunge! Following the sauna I did the cold plunge. I felt refreshed, reborn, and like I hatched from an egg. Once I got past the first 10 seconds I was able to close my eyes, breathe, and it was super refreshing. Focusing on my breathing really helped me calm my nerves. 20/10 highly recommended.”
