9 Days of Dates: The Urban Sweat Experience at Raffa Yoga

CRANSTON, R.I. (WLNE) — My body and my mind have never felt better, and if that isn’t the Valentine’s Day gift that keeps on giving, then I don’t know what is.

And it’s exactly why Tiffany and I were excited to explore the Urban Sweat Experience at Raffa Yoga.

“We are a full day-spa. We offer six unique therapeutic sauna rooms, so you’re able to move in and out at your own leisure,” said a representative at Raffa Yoga.

Over the course of four hours, Urban Sweat participants can rotate through a Finlandian sauna, Turmeric sauna, charcoal sauna, Himalayan salt grotto, eucalyptus steam room and cold plunge tubs, and an urban hammam room.

“They’re all supporting the benefit of active relaxation, which is basically the concept of disconnecting to reconnect in a new way.”

In this high-speed world in which we’re constantly connected to our phones, a chance to connect with one another doesn’t sound like a bad way to spend this holiday of love.

Neither does a chance to connect with yourself.

“Valentine’s Day is perfect for celebrating couples, it’s also celebrating self-love, community, connection and meaningful experiences.”

So whether you’re chilling in the cold plunge tub next to your special person, or sweating it out in the Finlandian sauna solo, a little self care this Valentine’s Day can go a long way.

“You know you’re your most important being and you really need to take care of yourself.”
