          I love saunas. I like to meditate in the sauna and when my sutra is done jump into the plunge pool a couple of minutes, hot tub, steam room for another sutra, plunge, sauna, repeat. Very cool you built one.

          Think it, be it.

                                Killer set up!!

                                One thing I love doing is getting uncomfortably warm and then uncomfortably cold, be it what I described previously or doing hot springs into a cold river, hot tub into a snow drift, etc. they say it’s really good for you.

                                One thing I could be better about is finishing with the cold part so that you go out with lower core temperature and greater wakefulness. I usually just finish my routine with a cold shower but really need to work up the gumption to end on a cold plunge and then cold shower.

                                Think it, be it.

                                    This thread is epic! Nice build @Brock Id love to build my own… not exactly in the budget. I love ending my warm shower with a cold minute or two. @mclaincausey that is a solid routine! Your practice is inspiring me to add the elements in like that

                                      @Fadez thanks man. I gotta say, I come out of it with a level of serenity that is difficult for me to otherwise achieve these days with work stresses and a toddler.

                                      Extremely envious of Brock’s setup. I have to go to a club for my fix.
