Circa Thermal Studio

Edmonton, you showed up. 🥹

About 1,000 of you have come out to sweat, soak, and connect with us since we started Circa. That’s a real community, not a coincidence.

If you’ve been one of them: thank you. The robes, the sauna hangs, the cold plunge chats, that’s exactly the ritual we’re building Circa around.

If you haven’t made it out yet, there’s still time. Fall bookings are open now, whether you want a private cold plunge session or want to bring us out for an event. More pop-ups are planned before the permanent studio opens, and we’d love to see you at one.

Want to be the first to know about the next pop-up or when the permanent studio opens? Join our newsletter, link in bio.

Guided doesn’t just mean someone talks you through the steps. It means someone’s actually watching how you’re doing along the way.

One of our guides walked us through what that looks like in practice, from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.

Drinks with friends have their place. So does knowing when to pause.

At Circa, that pause is the point. Heat, cold, rest, and the comfort of being surrounded by like minds, all moving toward something beyond the usual night out.

Complete the loop. Return to your rhythm.
Follow along as we build a place Edmonton can gather around, one loop at a time.

We showed up at the finish line of the Edmonton Marathon with something most runners weren’t expecting: a sauna and cold bucket.

On August 16th, we brought the mobile sauna to the race, set up right past the finish, heat and rest waiting for legs that had just done a lot more than warm up.

Every stop teaches us something new about how this city moves, recovers, and comes back to center.

More events ahead. Follow along as we keep building toward the studio.

The 3 questions everyone asks us about contrast therapy, answered.

Have a question we didn’t answer? Let us know in the comments, and we’ll answer it.

Pain isn’t the point of a cold plunge, and it never has been.

At Circa, most cold rounds only last a minute or two. Short on purpose, because staying regulated builds resilience more than pushing through discomfort ever will.

Follow along as we build a thermal studio Edmonton can return to every week.

We’re not trying to build something people visit once and forget. We want Circa to be part of the rhythm of your week, the same way a standing dinner with friends is.

A place where showing up enough times means you’re not a stranger in the room anymore.
That’s the kind of belonging we’re working toward. Slowly, and on purpose.

What would make a place feel like it’s actually yours?

On August 7th, we brought the mobile sauna to Glendale Golf & Country Club for an evening built around heat, water, and good company. No agenda beyond showing up and feeling the shift together.

This is part of why the mobile sauna exists: to bring the experience to Edmonton before Edmonton comes to us. Every stop teaches us something new about how this city gathers, unwinds, and returns to itself.

More pop-ups ahead. Follow along as we keep building toward the studio.
