Experience New York City like never before. Part urban adventure, part contrast therapy.
100% OF THE WORK DONE FOR YOU
This might be right for you if….
You know your nervous system needs a reset and you're done putting it off.
You’re drawn to the idea of bathing as culture, not just hygiene. As ceremony, not just spa day.
You’re curious about sauna culture, hydrotherapy, and the rituals of heat and cold, and want to feel them, not just read about them.
You want to experience New York through a wellness lens. Less hustle, more hot-cold contrast.
You want to rest, but not retreat. You want to expand, connect, and remember what it feels like to be alive.
You’re looking for a social experience that isn’t surface-level. One where you sweat and breathe together.
You need to wake up, and want a break from the scroll, the schedule, and the same old scenery.
Join us for an incredible social bathing experience:
