What is
Contrast
Therapy?

Contrast therapy involves oscillating between intense heat and cold exposure to activate the body’s natural stress and relaxation responses. Rooted in traditional practices from the Romans, Greeks, Scandinavians, and Eastern Europe, this technique harnesses the healing power of extreme temperatures for greater health and vitality. Heat exposure induces vasodilation, relaxing muscles and boosting blood and lymphatic flow. In contrast, cold immersion triggers vasoconstriction, reducing inflammation and numbing pain. These shifts guide the body from a fight-or-flight state into rest and recovery, recalibrating both the central and peripheral nervous systems—leaving you feeling recalibrated and juicy.

At arc, our unique classes combine holistic practices with sound healing techniques to gently usher you from a mind-centered state into deep body awareness, facilitating somatic healing and resetting your nervous system. Our sessions range from energizing, upregulating experiences that boost vitality, to calming, downregulating classes that promote relaxation and restoration.

We also offer curated classes for personal development, neuroscience, quantum physics, and optional spiritual practices to strengthen the mind-body connection, fostering long-term growth and transformation. These approaches empower individuals to break free from limiting patterns, cultivate a growth mindset, and achieve lasting personal and professional growth.

By integrating these diverse practices, we help combat chronic stress and inflammation, improve overall well-being, prevent disease, and nurture a deep sense of connection with yourself and others.
