Unwind at Pause Studio West Hollywood<\/h1>\n

I think we\u2019d all like to hit the pause button on life every once in a while.\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s basically what you can do at Pause Studio in West Hollywood. Here you\u2019ll find modern wellness services to help you boost your immunity, and support your physical and mental recovery all designed to help you live better, perform better and sleep better!<\/span><\/p>\n

I checked out the studio for \u201cCalifornia Live\u201d, the show I work on for NBC.\u00a0 During my visit, we got a crash course in what the studio offers, from cryotherapy to the infrared sauna, cold plunge\/contrast therapy, and flotation therapy.\u00a0 And while I quickly partook of each treatment for the television report, I really didn\u2019t get the full effect of what a trip there was truly like!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I recently went back on my own time and spent three hours in this tranquil oasis and left feeling like I was on some sort of out of this world high not only that I slept that better that night than I\u2019ve slept in years.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-131439″ type=”carousel” medias=”2077,2082,2083″ carousel_lg=”3″ carousel_md=”3″ carousel_sm=”1″ thumb_size=”one-one” gutter_size=”3″ carousel_interval=”15000″ carousel_navspeed=”1000″ carousel_loop=”yes” carousel_nav=”yes” carousel_nav_mobile=”yes” stage_padding=”0″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padding=”2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1636323545893{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]We did all four treatments starting with the big chill! Three minutes in the cryo chamber. According to Pause, \u201cIn just 3 minutes you can Burn up to 800 calories, destroy fat and cellulite, produce collagen, and reduce pain and inflammation. Exposure to ultra-low temperatures triggers beneficial effects in the body and brain. In addition to accelerating weight loss, the body\u2019s natural reaction to cold therapy causes improved circulation, increased energy, better sleep, and improved mood.\u201d The technician pumps in whatever music you want and I tried to dance my way through the three minutes to take my mind off of the numbing cold…but boy is it exhilarating once you come out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next stop the Infrared sauna combined with the cold plunge… let’s just say I preferred the sauna!\u00a0 When the TV cameras were on me I swear I lasted longer, but when I went on my own I think 20 seconds was my maximum time…I tried, I just couldn\u2019t do it. Pause recommends between a minute to two minutes if you can.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”2073″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”2075″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1636323605565{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]Here\u2019s how Pause describes the benefits of contrast therapy: \u201cContrast therapy comes from a tradition that has been used for centuries by athletes and, more recently, Wim Hof fans. The contrast therapy experience begins as you alternate between hot and cold therapy, cycling between an infrared sauna, ice-cold water, and rest. Contrast therapy improves circulation, helps you de-stress, and awakens your body and mind. Hot and cold therapy accelerates nutrient-rich blood flow, quells inflammation in your body, and heightens your senses.<\/span> Contrast therapy sharpens mental focus, so athletic and creative clients alike come to relax and enjoy invigorating contrast therapy sessions at our spa in Los Angeles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The last stop was the flotation sensory deprivation tank…I know it may seem like a claustrophobic nightmare…but I lasted the entire hour, floating in complete silence and darkness.\u00a0 While I didn\u2019t completely drift deep into the meditative state that I know many get to, I did leave feeling more relaxed and on a different level, almost a high.\u00a0 Pause describes the treatment this way:\u00a0 \u201cYou sink into 10 inches of clean, comfortable, body-temperature water \u2014 therapeutically infused with 1,000 pounds of healing Epsom salts. Just partially, nurturing submerged, you buoyantly float, freeing yourself from all sensory overload.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drifting into a half-awake, half-dreaming Theta state, you tap into your highest creativity, keenest ideas, and most stunning realizations. Stress Cortisol drops and soothing pheromones rise. Feel refreshed and inspired? We knew you would. As gravity ebbs away, healing takes over. Floating coaxes your tired muscles, exhausted connective tissues, and stiff joints into restful, peaceful recovery. Your tight lower back soothingly decompresses into a relaxed, proper alignment. When you emerge, you feel both calmer and more re-energized.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-135615″ type=”carousel” medias=”2074,2078,2076″ carousel_lg=”3″ carousel_md=”3″ carousel_sm=”1″ gutter_size=”3″ carousel_interval=”3000″ carousel_navspeed=”400″ stage_padding=”0″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padding=”2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
