Feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Imagine stepping into a sanctuary where you can melt away tension and revitalize your entire being. Vancouver is about to get just that, with the grand opening of what's being touted as North America's largest sauna!
Tevah Wellness, a haven for restorative sauna and ice bath experiences, is set to open its doors on December 1st at 955 Pacific Blvd, right in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Spanning a generous 4,200 square feet, the facility's crown jewel is undoubtedly its massive 725-square-foot sauna. According to Front + Centre, representing Tevah Wellness, this sauna boasts the impressive capacity to comfortably accommodate up to 60 guests simultaneously. That's a lot of steamy goodness!
But it's not just about the sauna. Tevah Wellness is going all-in on the contrast therapy trend. Prepare to be chilled (in a good way!) by the three deep cold-plunge pools. And this is the part most people miss: they also feature unique "exclusive" cold body jets – a rarity, as a Tevah spokesperson pointed out, even in many high-end wellness centers. It's a commitment to providing a truly comprehensive and cutting-edge wellness experience.
The experience is designed to be immersive and guided. Forget simply sitting in a hot room; Tevah will offer guided group circuits led by trained instructors. The space itself is thoughtfully designed with natural finishes, inviting archways, and a serene fireside lounge – perfect for enjoying a cup of tea and quiet reflection after your session. Tevah combines guided breathwork, sauna, and cold immersion experiences with design-forward interiors, natural finishes, tiered lounge seating, and a fireside lounge for tea or quiet catch-ups.
And this is where it gets controversial... Is contrast therapy actually good for you, or is it just the latest wellness fad? Some studies suggest benefits like reduced inflammation and improved circulation, while others are less conclusive. What do you think?
Practicality hasn't been overlooked either. Expect convenient amenities like complimentary lockers, a dedicated shoe alcove, and a rinse room adorned with calming green tiles and a refreshing rain shower system. These small details contribute to the overall sense of tranquility and ease.
Beyond the facilities, Tevah Wellness is also offering a curated schedule of classes designed to enhance your well-being throughout the day. Start your morning with "Awakening and Gratitude," a class aimed at energizing you and setting a positive tone for the day ahead. Midday brings "Reset and Recharge," described as a “reset button,” designed to bring clarity, thankfulness, and renewed power to your day. And as evening approaches, "Relax and Rest" will help you wind down, promoting optimal sleep and rejuvenating your nervous system.
According to Andrew Ao, Founder of Tevah Wellness, the vision is much deeper than just a fancy spa. "Tevah was created as a space where people can pause, be restored, and transformed," he explained. "We designed it for the people who are always building, creating and pushing forward to have a space where they can slow down without stopping. This isn’t about pampering or surface-level self-care – it really is about realignment, renewal, and supporting transformations on physical, mental, and spiritual levels." Ao emphasizes that, more than anything, Tevah is about fostering a sense of community and belonging.
To celebrate its upcoming launch, Tevah is offering a limited pre-opening membership known as the Founder's Circle. Limited to just 100 members, this exclusive membership costs $250 per month and grants daily access, two complimentary guest passes each month, and a guaranteed founder's rate for as long as you maintain your membership. It's a compelling offer for those looking to make Tevah Wellness a regular part of their self-care routine.
