Be Well
Yoga, Pilates, restorative practice, infrared sauna and cold plunge — brought together to support your wellbeing.
Explore Be Well
Sometimes we need to move, build strength, sweat and feel energised. Sometimes we need quieter practices that help us settle, breathe and recover. And sometimes we need to stop altogether.
Be Well has been created around that idea.
Time to recover
Be Well is our dedicated wellbeing and recovery offering, centred around infrared sauna, cold-water immersion and quiet time to reset.
Your recovery session is yours to enjoy at your own pace, with time afterwards to warm up, relax and spend a little longer in the Be Well lounge.
Infrared sauna
Settle into infrared heat with integrated sound and colour-changing light. During your sauna you can choose a 10–15 minute guided breathwork and meditation practice recorded by Bryony, yoga therapist and founder of Be Well.
Cold plunge
Add optional cold-water immersion after your sauna for an invigorating contrast experience, at a pace that feels right for you.
Stay awhile
Afterwards, take your time. Warm up, have a drink and relax in the Be Well lounge before heading back into your day.
Movement, restoration and recovery
Selected Be Well memberships can also include a personalised allocation of classes with our studio partners within The Be Collective.
That means your month might combine an energising hot practice at Ember Hot Studio, restorative or somatic practice at Soma Luna, and your Be Well recovery sessions.
How does this work?
Ember Hot Studio offers hot yoga, Pilates, strength, mobility and energising movement.
Soma Luna offers restorative yoga, somatics, yoga nidra, sound and nervous-system focused practices.
Your Ember and Soma class allocation is agreed when you join your Be Well membership, so you can choose the balance that best supports your regular practice.

Your Be Well session
A little time set aside for yourself. Your recovery session is pre-booked, so you can arrive knowing the space is ready for you.
Arrive & shower
Settle in and begin with a warm shower using our natural Faith in Nature wash. The warmth helps you transition into the session, washing away the day and gently preparing your skin and body for the heat of the sauna.
Warm
Step into the infrared sauna and settle into the warmth. Integrated sound and colour-changing light create a calm space to properly switch off. Choose quiet time or listen to Bryony’s optional 10–15 minute guided breath and meditation practice while you sauna.
Cool
When you’re ready, follow your sauna with an optional cold plunge. Take your time, breathe steadily and approach the cold at a pace that feels right for you.
Stay awhile
Afterwards, shower if you wish, get warm and take some time in the Be Well lounge. Have a drink, sit quietly and allow yourself a little space before heading back into your day.
Be Well is the new recovery and wellbeing space inside The Be Collective in Haywards Heath. A calm place to pause, reset and support your body through infrared sauna, cold-water immersion, massage and restorative therapies.
INFRARED SAUNA
Our private infrared sauna uses radiant heat to warm the body directly at a lower air temperature than a traditional sauna.
Many people use sauna sessions for relaxation, temporary relief from muscle tension, and recovery after physical activity. You control your pace and can leave the sauna whenever you need.
COLD PLUNGE
Short, carefully paced cold-water sessions can feel invigorating and may support alertness and post-exercise recovery. Cold exposure is always optional: begin gradually, listen to your body, and never push through dizziness, pain, or distress.
A SIMPLE RECOVERY RITUAL
Come for the sauna or cold plunge, combine them when appropriate, or simply spend time in our community lounge.
Be Well also offers massage therapy, restorative practices, breathwork, sound and other specialist sessions.
IMPORTANT
Heat and cold are not suitable for everyone. Please seek medical advice before taking part if you are pregnant, have a heart or circulation condition, uncontrolled blood pressure, reduced temperature sensation, or any concern about whether these treatments are appropriate for you.
