Whether you prefer the soothing warmth of an Infrared Sauna, the intense heat of a Traditional Sauna, or the healing power of Hydrotherapy, (water contrast) therapy, our studio offers the perfect space to experience all. Best paired with a traditional ice bath or our bespoke cold plunge pool in Hawke’s Bay, experience the range of benefits contrast therapy provides.
We are the first O-Studio to offer Water (hydro) Contrast Therapy, with bespoke hot and cold plunge pools, which stimulates the body’s natural ability to recover and adapt.
Choose between a sauna or hot plunge, then pair it with either a cold plunge or traditional ice bath. This contrast stimulates the body’s natural ability to recover and adapt.
The heat boosts circulation and relaxes muscles, while the cold reduces inflammation, aids in muscle recovery and enhances mental clarity.
Hydrotherapy in our communal space involves alternating between hot and cold water, creating a unique "tingle." Warm water relaxes and dilates blood vessels, while cold water invigorates with a refreshing shock, constricting vessels and boosting circulation.
This stimulates nerves, heightens awareness, and can release endorphins, leaving you feeling energised and revitalised. The temperature shift awakens both body and mind, making water contrast a truly refreshing practice.
Infrared light is used to heat your body directly, for a more gradual and deeply penetrating warmth. This experience takes place in a private setting where you can customise the temperature and lighting to suit your needs. Get a range of benefits with a lower temperature, 50-70°C.
Our Traditional Communal Sauna in Hawke’s Bay provides a classic sauna experience with high temperatures ranging from 80-90°C. This dry heat environment encourages deep sweat.
