Sauna & Ice Bath in Yorkville, Toronto – Shift Your State

At Othership, the health and safety of our journeyers is our highest priority. We incorporate a strict sanitization policy and use an extensive filtration system, and chlorination system to sanitize the pools and ensure that we adhere to Health Canada’s regulations. Our pools are cleaned and maintained on a daily basis, and our waters are regularly tested manually.

We only ask that you bring a bathing suit and water vessel (no glass please). Onsite we provide towels (up to 2 per visit) and body wash in our shower amenities. We also have lockers available for day use.

To maintain the most hygienic experience for our Journeyers, Othership is a barefoot space beyond the changerooms. If you’d like to cover your feet, we have ice bath shoes at reception for purchase.

Othership offers a performance sauna, private ice baths and social commons. We are home to Toronto's largest performance sauna made of Western Red Cedar. We have non-gendered changing stalls and washrooms as well as lockers for storing belongings during your experience.

The ideal way to utilize the healing benefits of our sauna + ice baths is to toggle between the polarities.

The Starter Circuit: sauna for 15-20 minutes, cold plunge for 1-3 minutes, then relax in our tea room for 10 minutes. Continue to toggle between hot + cold + relax for maximum results. Know that there's no right or wrong way to go about hot + cold therapy so experiment and keep it fun.

Traditionally, saunas and bathhouses have been used for communal health and healing in a social setting.

We’re here because we feel a connection to something beyond ourselves. The word alone - broken up - is really a universal truth: all one. We encourage you to come alone or with friends as our space is motivated by the mission to create connection for a disconnected world.

You don’t need to whisper, but please be mindful of others' experiences. It’s ok to strike up conversations with like-minded journeyers, but this is a flirt-free facility. While we encourage community and interaction, this is no place to hook-up. Please also remember to leave your cell phones in the lockers.

Othership does not have designated parking. We recommend giving yourself extra time to accommodate for finding parking prior to arrival.
