When the warmth of an infrared sauna meets the freshness of an ice bath

Our Ice bath formula: Hi-to-Kori

Sōnïce is based on the principle of alternating therapy. Hi-to-Kori ("fire" and "ice" in Japanese). In fact, you'll alternate between moments of intense warmth and invigorating freshness.

The rhythm?

To begin, spend 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, followed by around 3 minutes in the ice bath. After a short pause, repeat the cycle as your pace allows during the 75-minute experience.

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.

The Sōnïce is cleaned between sessions. 

The ice-bath pool has its own mini water-treatment system. Purification runs between each session to help keep the water clean. It includes a 1-micron filter and a photocatalytic oxidation system, allowing us to avoid chlorine. A microdose of active oxygen is also used as an additional precaution.
