Winter Wellness Warriors

Winter is a time to go inward, a time to discover your inner warrior! 

This retreat is designed to offer a unique and holistic experience that combines the benefits of contrast therapy, yoga, breathwork, and winter wellness practices. 

Contrast therapy with infrared sauna and ice bath combines the benefits of both heat and cold therapy. This therapy involves alternating between the use of an infrared sauna and an ice bath, which helps to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms and promotes overall detoxing and wellness.

By combining positive mindset, breathwork and contrast therapy, you will unlock a wide range of benefits including: Reduced stress, create new neurological pathways, increased energy, better sleep, sharpened focus and determination, increased creativity, boosted metabolism, decreased inflammation, improved sports performance and more...

The infrared sauna uses heat to penetrate the skin which helps to improve circulation and promote relaxation. The infrared rays also help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can improve skin tone and promote a more youthful appearance. Infra Red therpay has amazing benefits for your immune system and lymphatic system.

Ice baths help to reduce inflammation, boosts immunity and promotes muscle recovery. The cold water also helps to reduce soreness and joint pain, making it an ideal therapy for recovery or those with chronic pain conditions.

During a cacao ritual, guests are offered a warm cup of pure cacao, which is made from ground cacao beans and mixed with spices and other natural ingredients. The cacao is consumed as a beverage and is believed to have various medicinal properties, such as promoting heart health, boosting energy levels, and enhancing mood.

After the workshop, you will be equipped with a new set of tools, training and knowledge to upgrade your daily life.  We all have the innate ability to be Healthy, Strong and Happy.
