Health Benefits From Sauna & Cold Immersion Practice
-
Elevate your mood, boost testosterone and sleep hard! Sauna and cold connect mind body & soul
"After a few rounds in the sauna, my body feels so good after activity or a stressful day. The warmth of the space, a time to disconnect from the world and have some time for self love. My skin feels amazing and my mind is more clear than when I entered. I feel like a million bucks after sauna and I love wearing the sauna glow. Sauna & cold immersion helps my body/mind/soul recover and feel good! Detox, elevate your mood, push yourself to be comfortable with uncomfortable." Ryan Markham

Socials Are Good For Mental Health
Sauna brings people together and this is a very important piece that's not discussed for our mental health today. We at MW celebrate sauna with our family and friends.

Mental Fitness
Stress & depression are very common in our world today. The heat from sauna encourages us to relax and help us to regulate our cortisol level in our blood stream. As you might know, cortisol is released when our stress increases and this can lead to a litany of health issues including a compromised immune system and lack of sleep.
Adding sauna and cold immersion to your mental fitness program will support your mind, body & spirit in slowing down. We at MW use cold as a tool inspired by Wimhof and others who have found the cold to be the perfect reset.
