Cold plunges and saunas! They are becoming integrated into the ritual of more and more peoples lives these days, as ancient traditions are coming back into vogue. There is a reason these practices have stood the test of time for thousands of years across many different cultures worldwide, and now more than ever people are seeking out the benefits that cold and heat exposure can provide. 

For us, the sauna has been a mainstay of our lives for at least a decade,and like many others we added cold plunging into our wellness routine over the past few years as it gained in popularity with practitioners such as Wim Hof. We loved going to the public sauna spas in Victoria, BC, but when access to public spaces was limited in2020, we had to look to other ways to get our fix.

This began a journey of looking at different options for having an at home spa experience, we had two different cedar barrel saunas delivered to our house before we decided thatfor us, this was going to be too limiting in terms of having a mobile life, free to move to different locations without having too much to lug around with us. A 14 foot cedar barrel sauna simply wasn't a permanent solution for us, at least at this stage of our lives. So with love, we let it go.
