Elemental Immersion
Immerse yourself…
Join us at Elemental for our newest addition and our HOTTEST (and coldest!) experience we have to offer! Enter into the new Elemental Immersion space and be greeted by our host who will be leading the group and answer all of your questions regarding the experience while sharing with you the benefits of why short-term exposure to high heat and cold is exactly what your health routine and lifestyle has been missing. Grab a seat in one of our zero-gravity seats or our oversized bean bags as everyone introduces themselves to break the ice (pun intended)!
After introductions and an explanation of how the session will flow you will step into our newest Finnish + Infrared sauna (which reaches heats as high at 190F!!) and allow your body to relax into a state of deep comfort. Bask in the heat surrounded by good company as you share stories and experiences all while detoxing the body, and de-stressing the mind. When the time is right, the host will let you know to come on out and to prepare for the ice bath.
Take a meditative shower after the sauna to wash away the toxins as you prepare yourself for the ice bath. The host will help center your mind and body as you slowly step into the tub. As you lower yourself into the water your body will tell you to get out but the host will guide you along and will be right there by your side encouraging you to stay. After the first 30 seconds you will regain control of your breath and your body will settle into the sensation. The host will continue to be by your side sharing with you what is taking place in your body and all the benefits that come with that. The host will also have tools such as instruments and essential oils to assist you in this experience. When you are ready you will slowly rise up and step out of the tub feeling a sense of fulfillment, joy, and empowerment like none other. Take a moment to stand in this connection to your true power. Then dry yourself off and return to one of the zero-gravity chairs and relax as this feeling continues to course through your body.
We at Elemental know one thing for sure, you will leave feeling relaxed, calm, de-stressed, detoxified, and more comfortable in your own skin than you ever felt coming in!
We’re looking forward to seeing you immerse yourself into our new experience! Call us today to book at 905 669 4222
Cold Exposure
Mood Booster
A few minutes in the ice bath and your bound to feel amazing! Your brain will receive a rush of chemicals (nor-epinephrine) produced within the body due to the shock produced by the cold that will have you getting out feeling empowered with a big smile on your face.
- Increases Awareness & Focus
- Helps with symptoms of depression
- Reduces feelings of anxiety
Weight Loss
Although regular exercise and healthy eating are major factors in maintaining a healthy weight, ice baths can help, if combined with a proper diet and exercise routine, to burn calories for hours after the exposure. Repeated cold exposure can help to reset the body’s metabolic rate and naturally increase the body’s metabolism for many hours after each session.
- Increases circulation and elimination of toxins from the blood and body
- Boosts metabolic rate after multiple treatments
- Resets the body’s natural metabolic level
- Naturally increases the body’s metabolism
Sports & Fitness
The benefits of cold exposure for athletic recovery have been seen by pro-athletes, weekend warriors, and competitors of all levels as an effective technique to alleviate inflammation after strenuous exercise and training. Cold therapy speeds recovery by inducing the natural anti-inflammatory effect of cold on muscles to elevate the body’s ability to recover and reduce post-workout fatigue.
- Reduced inflammation, swelling and pain
- Enhanced energy and endorphin release
- Improved muscle and motor unit activation
- Greater testosterone levels in men
Beauty & Anti-Aging
Cold Exposure is a safe and natural alternative to achieving anti-aging results without expensive surgical procedures. The benefits of cold therapy include tightened skin and stimulated collagen production. Cold therapy increases blood flow to the skin to help reduce toxins and rejuvenate the skin, including the reducing of visible cellulite.
- Improved collagen production which reduces visible signs of aging by helping to even skin tone and reduce cellulite & wrinkles.
- Reduces the damage of oxidative stress by increasing blood flow to the skin and removing unwanted toxins.
- Healthier complexion and the amelioration of skin conditions such as psoriasis, blemishes and acne.
Rehabilitation
Cold Exposure benefits individuals who are recovering from surgery where reduced inflammation and increased blood flow will assist in reducing recovery times. Consult your physician before beginning Cold Therapy and Ice Bath treatments.
- Improved post-surgery recovery- up to 40% reduction in recovery time
- Reduced pain & inflammation
- Natural pain relief due to analgesic effects of endorphins released
- Improved circulation to facilitate healing and removal of toxins
Heat Exposure
Anti-inflammatory & Pain Reduction
When the body is exposed to high heats for 15min or longer it activates Heat Shock Proteins within the body which help reduce and alleviate any inflammation within the body. These high heat conditions also cause the body to release up to 300% more nor-epinephrine which is also a natural anti-inflammatory and pain killer chemical produced organically within the body!
- Alleviate pain & inflammation from chronic conditions as well as exercise
- Helps reduce symptoms associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Boosts Mood, Focus & Attention
The nor-epinephrine I mentioned above is multi-faceted and is really great at boosting our moods! Regular sauna use could be a helpful tool for those who suffer from occasional depression or anxiety. This high surge of nor-epinephrine is coursing through the body AND our brain and it’s here where nor-epinephrine makes us feel great! Not only will you feel amazing but you’ll also be filled with a sense of focus and attention that coffee can’t compete with.
- Increases Awareness & Focus
- Helps with symptoms of depression
- Reduces feelings of anxiety
Detox
When exposed to high heat for prolonged periods of time (15min+) the blood vessels dilate and increase the blood flow. This aids in removing toxic substances from your body by sweating via increased circulation to the skin during high heat exposure. This type of detox helps unburden your liver, kidney, and other organs in terms of toxicity.
- Relieves stress from liver and kidney
- improves bodies overall function
