These few seconds of boldness will allow you to store tons of vitality!

3. In rest mode: restorative relaxation

Moments of rest are an essential part of the thermal experience et allows the body to recuperate in order to absorb all the benefits and to rebalance your central nervous system. Fifteen minutes of resting is essential to relax body tensions in a quiet, soothing and comforting setting. Must be repeated three times in order to maximise all the benefits.
