Upswell Studio
We spent a centering morning at Upswell Studio in Denver and got our minds & bodies right.

We started with a Power + Release class which was a vinyasa-inspired yoga flow combined with myofascial foam rolling. Upswell provided the yoga mats & rollers. The class was 50 minutes long. Our instructor, Lexy Rose was knowledgeable & calming. She led us through a series of targeted movements on the foam rollers followed by sweeping yoga movements and breath cues that increased our range of motion.
Following class, it was time for a cold Plunge session in the RENU Therapy Cold Stoic 2.0. This was my first time doing a cold plunge and I loved it; it hurt so good I ended up doing it twice. Upswell provided robes & towels for use. My first plunge was 1 minute, then I got out, put my robe on and let my body recover for about 10 minutes. Then I went in a second time for 1 minute. Following my second plunge, I was really feeling alert (I felt that strong energy increase & stress relief for hours following my session). The pros of doing a cold plunge include decreased inflammation, increased energy, the reset of sleep cycles, and the regulation of the nervous system.
We finished with a Glow session in infrared sauna pods. There is a room with two pods so you can go with your friend or significant other. I turned on an audiobook, got comfortable in my pod, closed my eyes, and fully relaxed into the warmth. The infrared sauna pods encased us in heat & chromotherapy lighting that produced an effortless & productive sweat for 45 minutes. The Glow session detoxified, relieved achy joints, increased mobility, stimulated immune response, and promoted the release of dopamine & serotonin.
Big thanks to Upswell, Lexy, & Prim + Co for hosting us!
