Hot, cold, breathe: the Othership practice
Shift your state + regulate
The practice is simple: 15 to 20 minutes in the sauna at 80–85°C, 30 seconds to 3 minutes in the ice bath at 0–4°C, and 3 to 30 minutes of intentional breathing — 3 to 7 times per week. The payoff: increased focus and mental clarity, faster athletic recovery, a metabolism boost, and a soothed nervous system that shifts out of fight-or-flight into deep relaxation.
Breathwork, answered
Is breathwork similar to meditation?
They share very similar mindfulness benefits — but breathwork is engaging, and you feel the benefits after only one session. It changes the state of your body, helps you manage stress and anxiety, and allows for immediate feelings of well-being.
How often should I practice?
For the best results, we recommend one long breathwork session per week plus three short sessions.
What's the science?
Breathwork quiets the thinking/ruminating mind so you can enter a state of calm and focus. It calms the nervous system, shifting us out of fight-or-flight mode into deep relaxation.
