What makes this session different?About this ritual: the idea, the guidance and the music

One warm round, one cold dip and a fresh finish.

Intention
Feel switched on: one hot citrus round, one cold dip and a bright, fresh finish.
The idea
A hot round on the upper bench with one bright citrus wave builds up to one cold dip. You finish in the fresh air with even, lively breathing, with no second heat round.
Origin
A KUUME original, built on cold-bathing practice.
Voice
Clear and upbeat. Silent in the water, bright on land.
Safety & practicalPreparation, your phone and the safety guide

You need a cold plunge with an easy way in and out, and a dry seat for afterwards. The warm round has one citrus steam pour: mix a citrus sauna scent as its label says, and check that everyone in the sauna is happy with the scent.

  • Use scent only where the venue allows it.
  • Your phone stays outside the heat. For sound, put a speaker by the door.
  • Water only if it feels right. Come out whenever you want: the rest begins by itself, or tap “I’m out”.
  • Pause, skip or end at any time.
