You don't need a weekend getaway.
You need 50 minutes of JOY.
Two sessions for $59 — 50% off, limited time. A guide leads you through heat, cold and breath, one ritual start to finish.
JOY is a social wellness spa downtown where you move through sauna, cold plunge and thermal bath as one guided ritual.
A guided ritual of heat, cold, and breath that calms your nervous system and leaves you grounded — and takes your recovery to the next level, so you perform better at the gym and in daily life.
Three steps.
One guide.
About 50 minutes.
Heat
Your shoulders drop and the day stops running during a session of meditation in guided heat.
Cold
Short [30 seconds – 2 minutes] and your guide breathes you through every second. This is where the clarity comes from.
Breath
Warm water, slow breathing, nothing to do. Muscles recover, the nervous system settles.
Led by your guide, start to finish. You just show up.
Guided is how you start.
Guided
A guide leads the full circuit — timing, breathwork, when to move, when to rest. Best for a first visit.
Free Flow
Move through heat, cold and water at your own pace, on your own clock.
You walk out quieter than you walked in.
A calmer nervous system and a genuine sense of calm — the mental reset most people can't get to on their own.
The circulation boost, endorphin release, and recovery response that the thermal ritual is known for — so you bounce back faster and sleep deeper.
Straight from our guests.
“Absolutely amazing space to rest and relax. Highly recommend it to take the stress of the day off.”
“A true gem. The guided ritual left me feeling incredibly grounded, and 90 seconds in the cold plunge sealed it. If you're thinking of going — this is your sign.”
“What a JOY to experience this space. Alison's guidance was full of warmth — I felt so grounded and peaceful as she led us through the sauna and cold plunge.”
Two guided sessions. $59 total.
Half price for a limited time — two full guided Thermal Ritual sessions for $59 instead of [$118]. Come together with a friend, or keep both visits for yourself.
Two sessions of the guided Thermal Ritual. No membership, no commitment.
Reset without leaving the city.
2200 Rue de la Montagne, Montréal, QC H3G 1H9 — 5 minutes from Peel Metro.
Before your first visit.
Do I have to do the cold plunge?
The cold plunge is part of what makes the ritual work: after the sauna's heat, the cold triggers the circulation and endorphin response that leaves you clear-headed and energized. It's only 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and you step out whenever you're ready — your guide eases you in and nothing is forced. Most people surprise themselves and it becomes their favorite part.
What do I wear and bring?
Just a swimsuit. We provide towels, and there are lockers and showers on-site. (Note: JOY is barefoot — no sandals needed.)
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Every session is fully guided from start to finish — your guide leads you through each step.
How long is the session?
About 50 minutes + an extra 25 minutes to enjoy the space freely.
Can I bring a friend or use both sessions myself?
Either works. Come together and share the two sessions, or keep both visits for yourself.
Your guide is already waiting.
Two guided sessions for $59 — 50% off, limited time. Come together, or come twice.
