Your Five-Star Spa Experience

Upon arrival, participants are welcomed into the serene spa area and gain full access to all facilities:

• Private lockers and changing rooms with plush bathrobes and towels
• The wet area featuring a Finnish sauna, steam room, experience shower, and a dedicated red-light & infrared therapy space
• A tranquil relaxation lounge with complimentary healthy snacks, teas, and drinks prepared by the hotel’s kitchen

On warm days, sessions extend into the hotel’s hidden gem: the Summer Garden, an unexpectedly quiet oasis tucked away in the city center. During colder or rainy days, the ritual takes place inside the calming relaxation room of the spa.

Guests have time to settle in, explore the spa amenities, and gently connect with each other before the guided rituals begin.

Ritual 1 — Guided Breathwork Workshop

The experience starts with a professionally guided breathwork session designed to help participants understand:

• The power of intentional breathing
• How to influence the body’s sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) systems
• How breath acts as a tool for stress management, emotional regulation, and resilience

Participants learn practical breathing techniques they can use anytime—from daily life stressors to moments of extreme challenge. This workshop also prepares the mind and body for the upcoming cold immersion, ensuring a calm, grounded approach to the ice bath.

Ritual 2 — The Ice Bath Experience

After breathwork, the energy shifts into one of the most exciting parts of the day: the Ice Bath Ritual.

Guests are guided safely and calmly into their cold immersion, using the breath techniques they’ve just learned. The physiological and mental benefits of cold exposure are explained, making the experience both transformative and enjoyable.

Participants can then cycle between:

• Ice bath immersion
• Sauna or steam room for contrast therapy
• Red-light & infrared therapy for muscle recovery and skin health
• The relaxation lounge for warm snacks, hydration, and unwinding

This flow of cold, heat, rest, and mindful breathing creates a powerful full-body reset that leaves guests energized, clear-minded, and deeply restored.
