Nordic Spa Ritual at the Domes: 

Please enjoy the hot tub and cold shower as a mini Nordic Spa experience while we are constructing the Nordic Day Spa. There is a shared fire pit and soon to be sauna with alternative cold plunge options for guests of the dome coming very soon!

A Nordic spa is a water circuit of hydrotherapy that has been praised for its healing benefits.

Hydrotherapy is an effective way of releasing tensions in both body and mind, and the ancient practice dates back thousands of years.

The cycle of hot-cold-relax is proven to both energize and rest the body, improving blood circulation and activating the lymphatic system to help detoxification. It also actively promotes the release of endorphins, known as the “well-being hormones”.

 

THE RITUAL

FIRST, HOT

Raising the body’s temperature dilates the blood vessels on the surface of the skin, reduces blood pressure, and increases blood flow to the skin and muscles, thus initiating a state of calmness and introspection.

THEN, COLD

Tradition suggests that the hot stations be followed by immersing oneself in cold water. This step causes the skin’s pores to close thus shutting in the heat from step one. These refreshing stations promote a shift in blood pressure, encouraging the body to flush toxins, the muscles to release tensions, allowing you to fully engage in the benefits of the circuit.

THEN, HOT TUB & REST

The "Hot tub" cycle is the last "Hot" process of the thermal experience. This final step will allow for the body to regulate its core temperature, slow down the release of adrenaline and make way for endorphins. This process is recommended to be performed for a duration of 20 minutes followed by a relaxation period of rest in a quiet and peaceful area.
