Before entering our Wellness Garden, all attendees must watch the following safety video.
Sauna
Riffs is all about building community and the sauna is a perfect place to connect with others! We built a high-end 18-person traditional sauna. There are mountains of studies on the benefits of a regular traditional sauna practice including improved circulation, pain relief, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, improved skin, boosted immune system, reduces stress, amongst many others.
Why traditional over infrared? Though infrared sauna's are trending and cheaper to build, they are less effective in a larger room and there is much less studied evidence of longterm health benefits compared to traditional. We are team traditional and went big on our high-end custom sauna!
Cold Plunge
Cold plunging is the practice of sitting in extremely cold water for 3 minutes. There are many benefits of doing this practice, including weight loss, improved circulation, pain relief, reduced inflammation, enhanced recovery, increased energy and alertness, improved mood, better sleep, reduced stress, and boosted resilience.
For most of us, cold plunging is NOT FUN! The water is very cold, between 38-45 degrees, and is supposed to be very uncomfortable. The body will go into a state of stress, and it is your practice to stay calm and breath through it. Not only are the physical health benefits worth the few minutes of discomfort, the ability to remain calm in a time of stress is a practice for maintaining peace in states of crisis in the real world. Our plunges are chlorine free, cleaned with ozone, and are hand crafted in San Diego.
Red Light Therapy
Our top of the line red light panel has with red light and NIR (near infrared) frequencies, both shown to have different benefits. Our red light frequencies (630-660nm) improve skin health, heal wounds, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, improve mood and sleep, aid in muscle recovery, and promote bone health.
The NIR frequencies (810-830nm) penetrate deeper into the skin and can promote deep tissue healing, pain relief, joint health, brain health, promote injury recovery, and booth metabolism.
