OUTLINE | Join us for a magical evening among the trees and fellow friends.
Whether you’re a seasoned cold plunging enthusiast or a first-timer, this event is open to all. Come join us in collaboration with Ashley Mariani from The Rogue Therapist as she guides us with breathwork and a plunge. Grab your swimsuit [bicycle shorts are great for cutting that cold out against the metal tub], towel, and a sense of adventure, and prepare to plunge into the waters together, as a community. Let’s get uncomfortable for a cause, YOU!
We can’t wait to see you on February 3rd, as we enter the New Year together, getting into the cold water as a community
WHAT IS A COLD PLUNGE | A cold plunge involves fully submersing the body in cold water — whether that be a bathtub, tank, pool or a natural body of water, such as a lake or the ocean. It’s also called cold water immersion or cold water swimming.
BENEFITS OF A COLD PLUNGE | By decreasing your core body temperature, a cold plunge can deliver a wide range of benefits. Perhaps the most important is building mental resilience and discipline: consistent exposure to cold temperatures allows the mind to get comfortable in a state of discomfort, which will improve its ability to deal with other types of stress. Teaching the body how to handle extremes, especially within our ice baths starts to teach the body and mind that you are in control. Not only is there pure satisfaction in accomplishing something difficult, but the more you incorporate ice baths into your routine you will find that there are simple practical practices that put you back in control and inevitably teach you how to handle any stress better.
The physical benefits of cold plunging are abundant. Experts say cold water immersion can:
- decrease inflammation
- offer a huge rush of endorphins,
- spike dopamine
- improve sleep and mood
- reduce stress
- help remedy aches and pains
- boost injury recovery
- reduce swelling
- potentially increase testosterone
- promote lymphatic drainage
- regulate hormones
- accelerate metabolism
Cold exposure is also thought to have positive effects on the skin as cold water can constrict blood vessels and decrease inflammation, which can give the skin a temporarily more radiant appearance.
HOW LONG SHOULD YOU STAY IN A COLD PLUNGE? | For most people, the ideal duration for a cold plunge is 2-3 minutes. The “sweet spot” is 2minutes and 22 seconds as you spend the first minute regulating your body before entering that blissful stage around the 2 minute mark. This total body dip exposes your body to cold temperatures long enough to send a dramatic message into the nervous system and trigger a beneficial hormonal response. However, have no expectations for yourself. Do what fees right.
