A Sōnïce session is a 75-minute contrast experience, alternating between an infrared sauna (20 to 30 minutes) and an ice bath (around 3 minutes). Each session gives you enough time to complete two full cycles.
Alternating between heat and cold creates a marked contrast in physical sensations. Some people describe a sense of relaxation afterwards, but the experience varies from person to person.
