The protocol

Heat. Cool. Rest. Repeat.

Move slowly between temperatures and always prioritise how your body feels. Each session can be different, so go by today, not last time. In a 50-minute session most people fit two to three rounds.

One session feels good, but once it's a habit, that's when the benefits start to stack up. Better sleep. Faster recovery. A calmer, clearer head.

Come as you are. Leave feeling different.

01 · Heat
10 to 15 minSit, breathe and let your heart rate climb.
02 · Cool
1 to 3 minNew to cold? Start at 10 to 30 seconds and build from there, no rush. Listen to your body.
03 · Rest
A few momentsRehydrate, let your body settle and check in with how you feel.
04 · Repeat
Go againWhen you're ready, go again. In longer sessions, slow down and really settle in.
