An ice bath is a form of cold exposure where the body is immersed in cold water for a short period. It’s commonly used for recovery, mental training, and nervous system regulation.

Do I need to be experienced to try ice baths?
No. Beginners should start gradually, focus on breathing, and prioritize safety. I often emphasize awareness over endurance.

How often do I practice Bikram Yoga?
6 times a week, 90 mins class. 5 times if I’m busy.

How frequent do I go for ice bath / contrast therapy?
3 to 4 times a week.
What is my contrast therapy routine like?
It depends on how much time and capacity I have. With more time, I’ll do two rounds of contrast and finish in the magnesium hot pool. On busier days, just one round. I always listen to my body. Some days 3°C feels manageable; other days, 10°C is enough. The practice isn’t about pushing limits — it’s about awareness and responsiveness.
Why did I start incorporating ice baths into my routine?
