Soma

Recovery

Hot room, cold water.

RECOVERY-01 · 84:100 Vertical shot into the cedar sauna through the open door, benches on two levels, stove and stones at the back, light from the small window, empty.

The sauna

Cedar, two levels of bench, and it holds six. Sessions run 45 minutes and you come and go inside that.

RECOVERY-02 · 84:100 Vertical shot of the cold plunge from above and slightly to the side, still water, thermometer on the rim, towel on the rail, tiled floor, nobody in frame.

The plunge

A tub kept cold, next to the sauna in the same room. Most people go back and forth between the two.

  4. 4

    The guided session on Friday afternoon is led start to finish, and it is the one to take first.

Before you book

  • Shower before you get in the water. It keeps the plunge clean for the next person.
  • Bring a swimsuit. The room is shared.
  • Come out if you feel lightheaded. Nobody is counting minutes.
  • If you have a heart condition or you are pregnant, ask a doctor first. The clinic downstairs will talk it through with you.

Six people to a session. They fill.
