By now you have heard a ton about saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, hot yoga, hot baths, hot showers, cold showers, winter swimming, cold immersion, ice baths…phew, on the world wide web, and podcasts. There are so many choices, and no one, (until now), that is holding classes for you.

Equally, there have been so many pop up places without offering guidance by certified individuals, that a) practice contrast therapy regularly, and b) they simply might not know enough to provide advice. And if they do, it can be damaging.

This contrast therapy class will help you understand everything you need to know. Period.
