What is Thermal Cycling?
Thermal Cycling is a 2000 year old ritual founded by Nordic countries. It involves alternating between hot and cold temperatures followed by a period of rest. The cycle should be repeated three times. You will feel some of the effects immediately. (Especially your increased blood circulation).
We cycle between our SUANA - COLD TUB - SAUNA - relaxing chairs around a fire.
More details, benefits and techniques will be discussed during your stay.
