NORSK is a Nordic Spa. A Nordic Spa relies on a thermal cycle, offering a ritual with three main components.
The first is heat, which comes in the form of steaming hot pools, hot saunas, and eucalyptus-saturated steam rooms.
Then comes the cold, administered via a quick plunge in an outdoor pool, or even a roll in the snow.
The third element is a surprise to many: public dozing!
A cycle looks like this:
• Hot for 10-20 minutes
• Cold for 10 to 15 seconds
• Relaxation for 20 minutes
• Repeat as desired, at least three cycles
The combination of steam, water, fire, and nature in the company of others opens the door to a different kind of renewal.
It’s physical. It’s social. It’s spiritual. It heals.
