We're here for spring ... both in studio and out and about in the community . Save this post so you don't miss out on your favorite events! 💙

Think of all things blue … the sky, water … things that can have an organic calming effect on the body when we let them.

The light in the sauna at Beyond The Plunge can be any color.

It can be changed at any time. And sometimes, albeit rarely, we do.

And yet, like almost everything we do in studio, there is a level of intention behind it.

Today, that blue light deserves a little of its own spotlight.

Blue light helps to sharpen focus and clear away mental fog. It also supports decompressing… meaning the process of unwinding after stress.

It’s become an integral part of the practice in studio.

The blue light helping to sharpen focus and clear the fog a bit. Then layering in the heat of the sauna working on the body and the cold tying a neat little bow around the practice. It ends up being this incredible divinely inspired trifecta.

And you feel that when you walk out… and look up at the blue sky…and maybe notice it in a way you haven’t in a while.

Earth Day 🌎

We work with water, heat, cold, and breath…

So yeah, the Earth is kind of our co-pilot.

We may not be perfect …
And yet we pay attention.

Small things like biodegradable take-home bags (bury them in your garden) … and bigger things like helping people reconnect to their bodies through the elements.

Give us a 🙌🏻 if you’ve noticed that the more you respect your body, the more you start to respect where it lives.

Everyone has a starting point.

Where did yours begin?

Even the most experienced still come head to head with the voice that tries to pull them out.

They hear it .. and choose a different path.

Where else can you sit and do nothing and have your body still doing the work?

A place to land if you need it (or crave it 😉) this coming Easter weekend. 💙 🔥

Fridays tend to fill up … book early ⭐️

We’re starting to feel that unmistakable Alabama heat coming on.🔥

And interestingly, the heat outside and the heat of a sauna land very differently in the body.

Summer heat has a tendency grab ahold of you.
The humidity has your body trying cool itself down all day long.

And yet sauna heat is a different kind of experience.

You step into it for a short window.
The body heats and circulation speeds up and then you step out.

And of course here at BTP after that you’re then usually stepping into one our cold tubs.

So, unlike outdoor heat, intentional sauna heat exposure is short, it's dry, and it's followed by a period of cooling, which allows the body to warm up and recover in a controlled cycle.

And here’s a pro-tip… during the hotter months, if someone has spent a lot of time outside in the heat, our contrast coaches may invite starting with a cold plunge first.

It brings the body temperature down a little before stepping into the sauna, which can make the heat feel grounding rather than like more of the same.

So in the summer you’ll sometimes see people moving through it a little differently:

cold → sauna → cold.

For us, there isn’t a perfect order, it’s about working with the body and the environment you’ve been in on that day.

Happy to be going beyond with you,
Tammy & Chassidy
