At SoJo Spa Club in Edgewater, NJ, you can spend the day unwinding in amenities designed to calm the mind, relax the body, and restore balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reset in the Cold Plunge Pool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Begin your journey in the Cold Plunge Pool, found in the gender-specific bath houses. Exposing the bod to cold water triggers a natural response known as the mammalian diving reflex. This response activates the vagus nerve, slows the heart rate, and brings a sense of calm. It is an invigorating way to ground yourself and reduce feelings of anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternate with the Hot Bath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After cooling down, step into the Hot Bath. Alternating between hot and cold water creates contrast therapy, a practice that helps reset the nervous system. This balance not only delivers immediate stress relief but also trains your body to better adapt to stress over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Book Now <\/a>\n \n \n\n\n\n

Find Balance in the Ganbanyoku Sauna<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, head to the Ganbanyoku Sauna. Lying on the warm stone floor provides a grounding effect that benefits both body and mind. As you sink into the gentle heat, tension melts away and you are able to release mental stress while reconnecting with calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
